Remind me, didn't Trump tweet something about Mutiny on the Bounty?

My 4 year old granddaughter has this habit of referencing words she just learned or heard for days after.
Just saying that in hindsight with the briefings, it was an odd thing to tweet at the time - I also remember it sort of coming out of the blue without a clear context.

Their article views tweet as his warning to governors who don't go along with him. He can always call out his base to mutiny against them!

I was just wondering if the word "bounty" got stuck in his pea brain gearbox from the PDB and the IC requesting he pay
F'ing attention from weeks prior.
I suspect now he framed that tweet because of bounty on the brain instead of some more apt "Patriot based" Freedumb framing he could have gotten one of his lackies to pitch him before he went on Twitter. He dropped it quick enough...
