Trump called the governors of several states "mutinous" and compared himself to Captain Bligh in the story Mutiny on the Bounty. Was that a wise comparison?
Given that Bligh was a really bad guy, both in the movie and the book, and that the mutineers were actually better people.
Do you think Trump ever read the book or saw the movie?
Did he understand it? (That Bligh was put off the ship because he was so awful?)

Bligh ended up with him and 18 loyalists adrift in the ship’s open launch in the middle of the Pacific !
Poor boy; their showing him he is not the only person to make decisions for states. I wonder if he cried himself to sleep after all that abuse??
I doubt he has ever read the story or seen the movie(s).
Well I’ve never seen the movie nor read the book, but the real life Captain Bligh was not a pleasant man, nor, apparently, an effective commander. In his career he had one crew mutiny on him, he was court-martialed once, and as governor of New South Wales his army rebelled against him, placed him under arrest and shipped his ass back to England.
Bligh was honourably acquitted & went on to enjoy an illustrious career at sea, captaining multiple successful voyages…choke on the irony!
^ according to Wiki Seventeen years after the Bounty mutiny, on 13 August 1806, he was appointed Governor of New South Wales in Australia, with orders to clean up the corrupt rum trade of the New South Wales Corps. His actions directed against the trade resulted in the so-called Rum Rebellion, during which Bligh was placed under arrest on 26 January 1808 by the New South Wales Corps and deposed from his command, an act which the British Foreign Office later declared to be illegal. He died in Lambeth, London, on 7 December 1817.
As usual trump will do anything, be combative, play the victim, create controversy, change the topic, polarize….anything to deflect from his filthy, deplorable and dangerous occupation of the White House.
More dead Americans will not sway him from his pathetic delusions that he and his enabler fanatics are making America great again. The only piece in literature that reminds me of him is that thing that the whale, Moby Dick excreted from his ass.
IF you look at any pictures of his home, there is NO library, so I seriously doubt that he has ever read a book in his lifetime!!!
Trump knows nothing about Bligh or the mutiny. It’s another one of those things he’s heard about, but he couldn’t tell you if asked whether Bligh is living or dead, fictitious or real, villain or hero. Trump is the most useless source for information since the invention of the ouija board.
Hahaha, they tried to dissect me with that blunt little tool!
Bless you for your wiki research, I myself needed no such assistance on the subject.
I guess the loathing for Trump blurred your education…have at it bitter one :D
Wiki aside, no research is required to conclude the blowhard an illiterate dyslexic know nothing. The loathing of dishonest ignorance is unavoidable and it is particularly detestable when trumpeted ad nauseum from the corpulent combover commander in chief.
