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. »
