tRump's Apoc Now reference is about "terminating with extreme prejudice"?

The film is about killing an insane leader in the US military. Everybody knows that! He personifies the deranged leader who must be killed by his own military. Duh!!!

I first saw it in a Vietnam War film class in art school in 1983 and I sat through it twice (and it IS a long film). I've watched the redux version at the theaters, too. It was one of Anthony Bourdain's favorites as well. He always referenced it during his food travel shows.

So when tRump referenced it I got super pissed off!!!!! Especially when he misconstrued the entire plot of the film.
