“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.”
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.

Thread just posted about Mutiny on the Bounty in case anyone’s interested. I just posted the twitters about Presidential powers in a national emergency of all 50 states:

Thank you. I had quite forgotten about the actual true story.
But one quibble. POTUS says that MoB is one of his favorite movies — not one of his favorite stories.
