New sheriff in town

The Dear Leader Kim Jong-un summons his closest aides. Not the same ones he summoned the last time, as three of them have mysteriously disappeared. Kim: "So, Trump has backed down, no war, the carrier is a poodle, we have a mighty victory." Aide 1: "Yes, oh mighty one, it is truly a great victory for your eminence." Aide 2 "Trump is a man with no backbone, all threats but no different from Obama." Kim: "Ha! I like that. You are promoted to be my Favourite Aide." Aide 2, looking intensely worried, manages a quick smile of gratitude. Kim, addressing his new favourite: "So Trump is not the new sheriff in town then?" Aide 2, looking desperately worried: "No, Dear Leader, he is not the cherie in town." Kim: "Sheriff, idiot, not cherie." Aide 2: "Of course, of course, Shur Iff." Kim: "Are you taking the piss, don't you know what a sheriff is?" Aide 2: "Oh great one, naturally, as it were, or put another way, I do definitely, and Trump isn't one." Kim: "You DON'T know, idiot!! You're fired. Haven't you watched High Noon, The Sheriff of Fractured Jaw, I could go on?" Aide 2: "No, oh mighty one." Kim: "Get out!" All the aides are whispering unobtrusively. One of them whispers that Senator Lindsey Graham had said after meeting with Trump over dinner at the White House that there was a new sheriff in town in a warning to North Korea. All the aides nod. Kim: "What are you whispering about?! Is this a plot?" Aide 3: "Oh great one and mighty leader and destroyer of Trump, we were laughing at the remark by Senator Graham that there is a new sheriff in town. You, oh beloved one, are the only sheriff in town." Kim looks pleased and runs his fingers through his hair, then wipes them on his tunic. Kim: "Sanctions, sanctions, sanctions. They will not destroy me. China will look after me. They promised." Aide 4: "Oh mighty one, are we to go ahead with the nuclear test? Kim: "Of course!! Nothing will stop me. That'll show Trump and that ghastly McMaster." Aide 4: "So would you like to do it today? It's all ready to go." Kim: "No, let's keep them guessing. Maybe tomorrow, maybe next week, when the moment is right." Aide 5: "Oh great one, Beijing did phone this morning and asked us not to go ahead with the test." Kim: "So keep them guessing too!! I want the world to know I am in charge of this great nation's destiny." All the aides applaud, dropping their notebooks and pens in the process. Kim turns to look out of the window and smiles.
