British tabloid hits Trump for sitting in Churchill's chair: 'How dare you’

[Right_in_Virginia]

Proper respect for Churchill would have been for Trump to stand beside the chair instead of sitting in it.

Ah ... more TDS.   

[To-Whose-Benefit?]

Ah ... more TDS.

I’m assuming that it was fine with Trump’s hosts for him to sit in the chair, or it wouldn’t have happened.

If he had done so without permission, I’d condemn him, too.  Regardless of the “we saved your butts” bluster, there’s no excuse for misconduct with a country’s preserved historical items.

I would have stood by it to give honor to the man whose chair it was.

Was your mother scared by a casino golf course when she was carrying you?

Did you stop getting drunk on Friday nights?

When you start making sense, I will too.

“If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.”


How anyone could believe that Churchill would be upset by Trump sitting in his chair is beyond reason.

@To-Whose-Benefit?

Since Churchill is dead, he can't be consulted.  It would be up to whomever is responsible for care of the place.  Right?

I mean, if you were visiting, would you barge in and yell "Churchill wouldn't care!" and plop down in it?  Come on, you wouldn't and you know it. 

I'm sure Trump had permission, so I don't see the problem anyway.

That would have been a good option.

Really @Victoria33   ... You want to tango with me?

What good news. I'm thrilled.

Get whatever painkiller you'll need .... say the word... and we will dance

I can't see Trump offering the Insult of just making free with Churchill's possessions on his own.

What I can imagine is Churchill's Spirit smiling down, approving of someone else taking up his battle in his absence.

Chamberlain issued the Declaration of War against Germany but the work fell to Churchill 8 months later.

And now that Britain has been invaded and over run by hostile, aggressive foes I can Imagine Churchill smiling at the man who Is willing to stand up to the invaders, the onslaught against all Sir Winston cherished and hoped for.

Really?

Yes  really.  Advanced age is a blessing, not bubble wrap.  If dame Vicky wants to tango with me and defend her BS ... I will accommodate her.

Oh shut the heck up...you’ll post your usual utterly baseless drivel, then you’ll say make some comment implying your life is so much better than all of lowly people here on TBR, (despite the fact that you are, God help us all, ALWAYS here). Then you’ll post some passive aggressive emoji.  So talk big and bad if you want oh mighty keyboard warrior, but we’re all on to your game and know you’ll just run away...again.

@Right_in_Virginia

You're right, age isn't bubble wrap, and @Victoria33 doesn't need it.  Trust me.

But the painkillers remark?  You've seen her posts about not being able to get opioids, so that was low as hell.  For that, you won't "tango" with her alone, and I don't just dance.  I make the floor my own. 

Your decision.

@To-Whose-Benefit?

I agree, Trump had permission to sit in the chair.  Still, do you think it's a little overwrought to make him Churchill's successor?

 Also agree that he had permission and really think this is WAY too much ado about nothing.

[Sighlass]

Hold it, I didn't vote for any of those, did you? Bet you did, two GOPe establishments and one the GOPe knew they could control (and have so far for the most part ie.. spending, PP funding, etc..).

On Subject, it would of been funny if Trump pulled a Churchill and took a nap in the chair in the middle of the day. The leftist really would of had a fit.

@Axeslinger

Yes, it is.

[Sanguine]

I find that graphic a bit confusing.  Wasn't it Reince Priebus, who was the chair of the Republican party at the time, the one who helped Trump finagle get the candidacy?  How much more "establishment" could he get?

Trump doesn't put away a quart of gin a day while burning the War candle at both ends and in the middle.

Thank you, excellent response.

LOL  Y'all are arguing about a chair.
