I'm going way out on a limb here, and this contradicts probably everything and I don't want to completely derail anyone if I'm way off, but it also sort of makes sense. idk, what do you all think?

In the movie White Squall:

The Skipper (Bridges) taught the boys "Where We Go One, We Go All"

He had the best of intentions, but he fucked it up and lost control of the ship and the ship sank in a white squall.

At the trial the boys tried standing up for him as he was accused of negligence, etc.

He wouldn't let them, he walked out, owning what he did after a full confession (after the bell).

Then we see how POTUS has been very seriously taking the solemnity of 41's passing.

So I pose the Question: If we are watching a movie, are we watching White Squall? (Metaphorically) With the deep state being the boys, and the Skipper 41?

Q, did 41 give a full confession? Was he the one who knew where the bodies are buried? Did he confess to save the crew(US)? Was this the only way, because the DS wouldn't let him go public?
