I think that is the key point, where everyone realizes that Queeg is not right. The Trumpian's will never show that realization.

Consider Trump thinks he has found his voice through twitter ! Now replace those ball bearings with Trumps little hand held patched into twitter. Than imagine what trump might say on one hand and at the same time not be saying on the other ! And fake judges and fake questions and witch hunts and witchy characters and deep state and Watergate . Oh, like they said at the start ,he can say what ever he wants. What they didn,t say is there is nothing anyone can say do to stop him from going off the rails.
