The Pentagon was likely much more offended by "Dr. Strangelove" than any straight film about nuclear peril.

Trump doesn't care if you hate him. He likes it if you fear him. But he hates to be mocked, ridiculed or satirized. The political ads that we are told by White House aids infuriated him the most were the ads that suggested people (and world leaders) laughed at him behind his back, mocked his physical appearance and overall incompetence. Also, recall his apoplectic overreactions to Saturday Night Live.
