Trump: I'm Captain Bligh. What a fucking idiot.

We are going to throw you off the ship motherfucker.

1. He's actually Capt Queeg, rolling his balls and having 2 scoops of strawberry ice cream

[TreadSoftly]

3. Queeg is a modern retelling of 1792 mutiny.

Caine Mutiny (Queeg) is the upcalendared version of Mutiny on the Bounty (Bligh - both 1935 & 1962 versions). And MotB was a true story.

Let's make this Munity for real -- just 25 him! That would be the equivalent, not governors.

Who will be our Fletcher Christian???

(I didn't see the original context of the DT comment, so I hope I'm not misleading)

2. Wasn't he set adrift in a rowboat?

Sounds good to me.

[MyOwnPeace]

9. In this 2020 version

he's pushed off with his little dinghy (at least that's what Stormy calls it!).

[Historic NY]

14. He made it back to England just under a year later....

His house is across from Bedlam the old nut house in London.

[JHB]

4. My guess is that he's got the movie completely mashed up in his brain...

...melding authoritarian Bligh with popular, cheered-on Brando.

Trump has just the worst fan fiction in his head.

[Sneederbunk]

5. Give this man a one-way ticket to Timor.

[Turbineguy]

6. He's actually more like Fletcher Christian

Christian's inability to cope with relatively minor annoyances condemned many around him.

[C_U_L8R]

7. Captain Wrongway Peachfuzz is more like it.

What a fucking moron.

[mucifer]

8. no he was loveable!

[Alacritous Crier]

10. He's gone full Queeg!

I actually made this one back during the 2016 campaign after he said some dumbfuck insane thing.

[Submariner]

11. Trump is General George Armstrong Custer riding to defeat

at his own Little Bighorn at Mar A Shithole, when on Election night he observes millions of Democrats vote he and his hooker out of office.

[Takket]

12. The hilarious part...

I just read about 100 tweets of people laughing at him for thinking Bligh was the hero, and two poor little MAGAts trying to say that we don’t get it and drumpf was saying the governors were Bligh and their citizens the mutineers lol

They would deny the color if their own eyes if they though it would serve drumpf.

[onenote]

13. Bligh did get the last laugh -in real life, but not in the movie.

In real life, Bligh made it back to England and most of the mutineers ended up dead. But that's not how it was depicted in the movie version Trump cites. As usual, he doesn't really know what he's talking about.

[BootinUp]

15. He's a character in One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest. Nt

[Gothmog]

16. trump is an idiot

[Buckeye_Democrat]

17. Lol! Comparing himself to a movie tyrant!

What’s next? Comparing himself to Emperor Palpatine?

“Remember, I have control of the Senate and the Supreme Court, like Emperor Palpatine in Star Wars, who killed that black Jedi. Unlimited power!”

[musette_sf]

18. He thinks the "captain" was Marlon Brando

and that the movie ended with Brando making out with Tarita Teri'ipaia on Miss Universe Island.

[lastlib]

19. Personally, I think he's still Cadet Bone-spurs.

Bosun's boy third-class. He commands nothing, least of all respect.

YMMV
