Conservative firebrand Ann Coulter blasted President Donald Trump, accusing him of behaving like the paranoid captain in „The Caine Mutiny“ — and scolding him to „be a man“ and fire Attorney General Jeff Sessions if he’s displeased with him.
Ann Coulter emails WashPost w/ msg for Pres. Trump: „Be a man – if you don’ t want Sessions, then fire him. You’ re the PRESIDENT.“
Coulter to WashPost: „It’s starting to feel like Capt. Queeg. He’s screwing with Sessions? Wow, is that treacherous!“
Coulter’s reference in emails to the Washington Post was to the fictional Captain Philip Francis Queeg in Herman Wouk’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, „The Caine Mutiny.“
Coulter, an early advocate for Trump during the 2016 presidential election, was not the only conservative angry over the apparent rift between Trump and Session. Radio host Rush Limbaugh called Trump’s behavior „hypocrisy, “ and „unseemly.“
