British tabloid hits Trump for sitting in Churchill's chair: 'How dare you’
By Jacqueline Thomsen - 07/14/18 12:55 PM EDT



British tabloid The Daily Mirror used its front page to hit President Trump for sitting in former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill’s chair.

“How dare you,” the headline on the Mirror’s front page on Saturday reads.

“You insult our country, attack our NHS, embarrass our Queen, undermine our ‘special relationship,’ humiliate our PM…and then smugly pose in Winston Churchill’s armchair,” the front page states.

How DARE you.

[To-Whose-Benefit?]

Take it up with Sir Winston's ghost.

After Half of the RAF fighter pilots died in 1940 to repulse invaders, US GI training came with severe admonitions to Not bed the British girls. They were That overjoyed to have us there.

Labor has been as pernicious to Britain as our Rats have been to us.

Sitting in a chair, or bouncing in your sister's bed?

I'm thinking Sir Winston would be fit to be tied over this paper's 'Bloody Cheek'.

 I suspect he was invited.

[To-Whose-Benefit?]

I suspect he was invited.

I suspect you're right.

[Frank Cannon]

That's a nice looking chair. I'd sit in it too.

[dfwgator]

Oh, so NOW the British Left love Churchill.

They've been trying to do everything in their power to remove Churchill from British History.

[To-Whose-Benefit?]

As Harry Flashman would have it;

"That, Sir, will be twice too much more than half enough!"

[Free Vulcan]

Pffft. The Brits disdain Churchill these days. Too much of a antiquated conservative relic.

The Queen, no pun intended, doth protest too much.

Churchill, Britain's best modern leader, was half American. His best half.

I  have been to Chequers, Winston Churchill's home. One can view the rooms but not go in.  They let Trump into the room to sit in the chair. There are recordings of his speeches outside the rooms that one can start if wanting to hear them.  The place is like Churchill, really, really, big.

[To-Whose-Benefit?]

Churchill was not one to stand overmuch on ceremony.

In Washington he greeted FDR's knock on his door dripping wet from the tub, stark naked.

Churchill is my all-time favorite historical figure.  The fact he could come back after such a bungle as Gallipoli, says a lot about the man's character.

That's what I thought, too.  It's a cool old chair...love the color.

The British press sounds like

Looks to me that Mr. Trump struck up EXACTLY the right pose for Churchill's chair... ;)

“You have enemies? Good. It means you’ve stood up for something, sometime in your life.”

Sir Winston

Methinks Churchill would have great respect for President Trump.

"Like a boss!"

[txradioguy]

Hmmm...don't remember the Sun getting upset when Obama got rid of the bust of Winston from the oval office...

Had it been Trump and not FDR in '41 I'm thinking our POTUS wouldn't have needed the pretext of over 2,000 Americans murdered at Pearl Harbor, which FDR Engineered, to come to Britain's aid.

[truth_seeker]

the source told the paper.


If I were "royalty" of this former power,  saved twice by the US, I would not snub their leader.

Common sense.

FDR engineered Pearl Harbor?

[To-Whose-Benefit?]

FDR engineered Pearl Harbor?

Had 4 days notice (perhaps more) the Japanese Fleet with aircraft carriers were coming.

FDR sat on it.

[Victoria33]

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