Trident isn't our only nuclear launchers so it's not like we couldn't respond with a nuke without Trident and like I said before, I don't think anyone that is insane enough to fire off a nuke at a country with nuclear capabilities probably doesn't care about the prospect of a revenge attack.
Deterrents won't work in a situation like that. We need actual defensive systems. Trident should be retired and replaced.
