The US doesn't need to show power. Using nukes is all downside.

Normally yes, but this is the Suez canal moment for US. I think countries stopped caring about US especially in the last year and starting reducing dependence on US economically and politically. So, the unpredictable Trump may try to do something dramatic. China will be the biggest winner of this all.
The world sentiment is to deintegrate with the US - something Trump campaigned on - and so he is going to do something dramatic? And that dramatic thing is to use nuclear weapons?

Just no. Stop this.
