Sorry Mike Huckabee, here are 5 major differences between Trump and Winston Churchill

Mike Huckabee is wrong to compare President Trump with Winston Churchill.

Gov. Mike Huckabee

Churchill was hated by his own party, opposition party, and press. Feared by King as reckless, and despised for his bluntness. But unlike Neville Chamberlain, he didn't retreat. We had a Chamberlain for 8 yrs; in @realDonaldTrump we have a Churchill.

The first part of that statement is very simplistic, but at least a tad fair: Former President Barack Obama was a weak leader on the international stage who did much to invite and enable adversarial challenge.

Yet Trump and Churchill have very little in common. Don't get me wrong, my intention here is not to criticize or belittle Trump. However, Trump and Churchill's variable life experiences, interests, styles, and character all speak to divergence rather than commonality. Here are five major differences.

Last year, many in the press were following the dem's lead and comparing Trump to Hitler.

Now they are comparing him to Churchill.

What difference a year makes.  And we let the media jerk us around thusly.

Well, we knew damn well Donaldus Minimus was no Hitler. But he's not exactly the second coming
of Winston Churchill, either. Though I admit, somewhat perversely, that it might have been mad fun
to see Winston Churchill on Twitter . . .

Trump was called Hitler here, along with white supremacist, alt right, and worse. Still is, by some losers.

Sir Winston would have no peers on Twitter. His sharp, acerbic wit was meant for Twitter.

From the article:

Of course, Winston and Donald do have one thing in common: history has shown both to possess rather robust senses of humor

True.  And they both have another thing in common:  A robust and unabashed love of country---and a belief that it is worth saving.

People who had crushes on Trump misinterpreted things that were said about him as calling him Hitler and a white supremacist.

Those things didn't happen.


Just in your imagination.

No one "misinterpreted" anything the NT's threw at the President.

He does generate some strong feelings.  Some can't stand him no matter what he does and others see no wrong in anything he does.

It would be worth the price if some extraterrestrial means could be found to pit
Sir Winston and Donaldus Minimus against each other in a debate. Mind against
mind, wit (actual) against wit (alleged). I guarantee it---Churchill would mop the
floor, the walls, the ceilings, the windows, and the garage with Trump. (And
damn near anyone else going up against him.)

Of course he would.

That's why in debates, Trump resorted to third grade insults.

No mind.  No wit.  Just a big mouth (and now active tweet fingers).
