Um, if I remember M*A*S*H accurately, Frank Burns at least had Captains Blake and Potter to keep him in check, something Trump does not have (or at least is doing his damnedest to not actually have) and on the rare occasions that he ended up in charge, it was just for about an episode, not four bloody years. That and Burns was almost pitiable in how unlikable he was and how much he was punished (to the point where even the North Koreans didn't want him.) Sadly, he repeatedly does the wrong thing, whether financially or morally, and if it bites him in the ass financially, his reaction is almost certainly "All right! Tax writeoff!" And if it's morally, he's got a huge base of voters who love him specifically because he's a garbage fire.
Blake and Potter were colonels, not captains.
