Said Trump at his Michigan rally yesterday:
"When Hitler was bombing London, Churchill, great leader, would oftentimes go to a roof in London and speak. He always spoke with confidence. He said we have to show calmness." Just like he was doing, he told them.
This evidently is our President's idea of an expression of calmness:
"We are in the preliminary stage of one of the greatest battles in history... I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat. We have before us an ordeal of the most grievous kind... many, many long months of struggle and of suffering."
One of several comments Churchill made comparing war ahead with Germany to a kind of Armageddon that the British would only survive by steeling themselves for the worst.
Trump didn't know what to do so he wished it away and did nothing.

Trump ain't no Churchill.
Personal Ignore Policy PIP: I like civil discourse. I will give you all the respect in the world if you respect me. Mouth off to me, or express overt racism, you will be PERMANENTLY Ignore Listed. Zero tolerance. No exceptions. I'll never read a word you write, even if quoted by another, nor respond to you, nor participate in your threads. ... Ignore the shallow. Cherish the thoughtful. Long Live Civil Discourse, Mutual Respect, and Good Debate! ps: Feel free to adopt my PIP. It works well.
It's an insult to Churchill.

Churchill did not lie.
