Winston Trump
Oh come ON.
Excuse me excuse me. Slight problem with that. The bombing damage was caused by Nazi Germany. By an external enemy with large plans for global domination and genocide. Trump’s short walk was a short walk against fellow citizens who were demonstrating against violent policing. See the difference? Churchill: Nazis. Trump: fellow citizens demonstrating.
The White House is not just equating Trump with Churchill, it’s also equating US citizens (and residents) with Nazis.
Mind you, Churchill was perfectly capable of unleashing the police on his own fellow citizens. He was no fan of the 1926 General Strike, naturally, Tory that he was. But Churchill inspecting bomb damage during the blitz was not making war on fellow citizens; Trump was doing exactly that.
Churchill had many, many faults but he (a) was physically brave – he was in the army and was a war correspondent; (b) loved and could use the English language; (c) could recognise fascism when he saw it. How unlike the current American leader.
There is an important difference however: one of perspective. Churchill though a thorough imperialist, was on the outside of fascism, looking in. Trump is more on the inside, looking out.
And a complete fascist at heart.
(d) grasped that Hitler wasn’t going to be managed or handled or otherwise defanged, when most Tories didn’t grasp that and when some of them just plain admired him.
Hmmm, let’s enter a famous Churchill quote into the Trumpulator 1000 and see what it would look like:
“It was huge – much more than any other war president, totally most, though the lamestream media will never admit it, never ever before, do so many people owe me. ”
(Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few.)
“We will bash their heads in on the beaches. And I should say, many people say, I have one of the best golf resorts on any beach. It’s beautiful. I’m telling you. Believe me. It’s beautiful. They said we couldn’t do it. But believe me, we did it. And the profits. Beautiful profits. It’s true. It’s true.”
Churchill was a Member of Parliament for the Liberal Party for twenty years up to 1922 and switched to the Conservatives in 1924, and if I remember correctly Trump initially wanted to run for office as a Democrat, so if they have anything in common it’s going with whichever party gave the best chance of success. However, Churchill was a true politician who, for better or worse, was in politics to serve his country; Trump couldn’t care less about his country (or anything and anybody else), he’s in it to serve himself.
From Nogales to Tijuana, they say an iron curtain has descended, FAKE NEWS! no not descended, I built it. Lotta money spent on a lotta paybacksTruly great. Keeps the criminals out.
How sad – I just realized that the comments in this thread contain more knowledge of history than D Trump has exhibited in 3 years of his kleptocracy.
More wit, too.
Some chicken- yeah, I could go for some chicken. Hamberders are great, nobody loves ’em like I do, but sometimes yah gotta mix it up.

I’ve been wondering ever since Trump bolted to / inspected the WH bolt hole and complained there was no food just why he hasn’t added a Maccas to 1600 Penn. Right next to that desk he always sits at when he wants to show his big boy writing skills.
And he does it all by himself…! How about that..?
Great, I’m going to have to build Trumpulator 1000 now, aren’t I?
Standard DARVO then.
Hitler had an entire SS regiment that was called his ‘bodyguard.’ Churchill had a single retired policeman, and a .45 under his arm.
A lot of people are saying that no Prime Minister has ever been treated as badly as me. I’m being treated worse than Charles I! They’ve taken my blood, my sweat, my tears, my snot. It’s a DISGRACE! #LLOYDGEORGEGATE!
Trump complained there was no food in the bunker? For real? I missed that!
