Solution: Let's put Trump and Kim into a boxing ring

for a free-style battle, cage-match style. Broadcast it live worldwide. No rules. They can speak threats harshly at each other, have a slap-fest, or attempt to harm each other by fighting physically. No gloves. No weapons. No referees. Just two guys in a ring. Last one standing gets three scoops of Ben & Jerry's.

After the battle, both men will be transported to an island somewhere in the South Pacific and left there to fend for themselves. The island will be blockaded by naval vessels permanently. Nobody on. Nobody off. Their season of "Survivor" will not be televised.

Both are unused to strenuous physical activity. Both have rather small hands. Both are somewhat heavier than is healthy. I predict that both will be seriously short of breath almost immediately.

Should the battle actually come to blows, instead of just being a battle of insults, it's unlikely that either has the physical power to do much damage to the other.

All in all, it would probably be boring to watch, and soon over with, with both men lying on the floor and gasping for breath.

Still...I'd watch, for sure.

but we should change the rules: Two "men" enter, nobody leaves.

more like a cage fighting arena. Those guys aren't capable of moving around much, so the smaller the space, the better.
