Beacause I'm a primitive about movies, what is the significance of Trump's tweet about this?

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!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 14, 2020
I’m not sure exactly yet ... when I first read I thought hmmm ... and I’m still thinking ... hmmmm. TBD + WWG1WGA :)
I have the same question.
I looked up the movie. Is POTUS supposed to be one of the characters? From the synopsis, it doesn’t look like ANY of the characters are the good guy.
I ended up following links to various places. One mildly interesting one was Brando’s children. Maybe spoopy? Daughter hung herself. (Nowadays, I question the truth of that. But no real reason to do so that I can see, other than doubting everything I read.)
I reckon that Trump’s movie yesterday served to put the Governors on notice that “anything they say can and will be used against them” in the campaign, so they will clam up with the compliments and not repeat that sin. But it matters not because they’re all on tape and the most they can do is say they were lying “then” but being truthful “now”. That’ won’t work.
The media figgers won’t care because lying about Trump is all they do and they can’t stop or care that what they said today contradicts what they said a week ago, or they’d all become so depressed they’d be out on the ledge...

I believe that Gov Cuomo, after blah blahing about both parties working together, had a conference call with 6 other Dem governors? regarding when they can open their own states, forming a coalition. They all praised Cuomo for his leadership (urp).
So, history, because the movie is you know, Hollyweird, Capt Bligh and his crew on the HMS Bounty were sent to the West Indies. They took a 5 mon? vacation, if you will in Tahiti, where many of the crew developed relationships with the Tahitian women. Bligh, trying to regain control of his men, started handing out harsh punishments. When they got back to sea Lt Fletcher Christian started a mutiny and set Capt Bligh and about 18 other men asea on an open launch, Capt Bligh reached England 3 years later. England sent the HMS Pandora to round up and capture the mutineers..most of whom had already been killed by either each other or islanders.
In the movies, Capt Bligh is portrayed as a bad man (orange man bad) while Lt Christian is portrayed as a man fighting for justice against the tyranny of the navy.
