Does this clip from The Caine Mutiny remind you of anyone?

Donald Trump says “I know better than everyone”
Trump’s Enemies are America’s Enemies?
Donald Trump sees enemies everywhere. In his view all of them have just one goal. It is apparent that he sees their goal is to remove him from the presidency by any means possible.
Thus Trump claims that the press is “the enemy of the people.” It is not just the print press. It is all media. His banning of CNN and NBC at news events has become routine.
John Brennan, Former CIA director, called the US President’s performance at Helsinki “nothing short of treasonous.” Trump has fired back by revoking Brennan’s security clearance.
Trump has compiled a list of at least ten people who are all likely to be denied security clearance.
Richard Nixon also had an enemy list of more than 200 people.
It all reminds me of The Caine Mutiny. In that movie Captain Queeg loses it in a court hearing.
The similarities between Queeg and Trump are remarkable.
