The Metro reports:
The president implied there could be harsh consequences for governors like Cuomo, writing: ‘Tell the Democrat Governors that “Mutiny On The Bounty” was one of my all time favorite movies. A good old fashioned mutiny every now and then is an exciting and invigorating thing to watch, especially when the mutineers need so much from the Captain. Too easy.’
The president’s comments came after Cuomo likened Trump’s behavior to that of a king, not a president, in an interview with NBC’s Today. Cuomo was responding to Trump’s assertion that the president’s power is ‘total’ and ‘the governors now that’ in regards to opening the economy back up. However, Cuomo disagreed.

Mutiny on the Bounty was about the ruthless, unjust, tyrannical Captain Bligh of the HMS Bounty who shackled his own crew and tortured so many of his own men that they mutinied against him. It’s fascinating that Trump sees himself as Captain Bligh. It’s quite terrifying as well.

You are trying to manipulate governors during a pandemic. Nice.

Trump is more like Captain Queeg in the Cain Mutiny — paranoid and delusional, completely out of touch with reality — always overstating his authority. pic.twitter.com/wj1uaG91vH

Trump apparently has not watched “Mutiny on the Bounty” to the end, and does not know what happened later on Pitcairn.
