    Default Trump says he is America's Winston Churchill

    https://www.businessinsider.com/trum...ill-fdr-2020-9

    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.

    His base loves that shit which is why he does it. What Trump fails to realize is that not everyone is in his base and he can't win reelection by only carrying his base.
    God bless America and those who defend our Constitution.

    Trump is a pussy. No way around it. He saw his duty and cowered.

    Well, they both were racists, they were alike in that respect.
