Jerry Falwell Jr., President of Liberty University has written an Op-Ed for the Washington Post that touts Donald Trump as the "Churchillian Leader that we need"....
"We are at a crossroads where our first priority must be saving our nation. We need a leader with qualities that resemble those of Winston Churchill, and I believe that leader is Donald Trump. As Churchill did, Trump possesses the resolve to put his country first and to never give up in a world that is increasingly hostile to our values."
Vs.
Stuff they have in common...
1. They both had five children. Although, I think it's fair to say that since Trump is only 70 and currently on only his third wife, chances are very good that he will pass Mr. Churchill in this department. Winston's marriage to Clementine lasted 57 years. Donald Trump's second marriage lasted almost 57 months.
2. They both had rich Dad's.
3. They were both best selling authors. Winston Churchill won the Nobel Prize for literature for the first volume of his history of World War II, The Gathering Storm. The Nobel letter states that he won the prize not only for his seminal history, but also for "brilliant oratory in defending exalted human values." Donald Trump hired a ghost writer to write The Art of the Deal, for which somehow he failed to win the Nobel Prize for Economics.
Stuff they kind of have in common...
1. Winston Churchill served in the military from 1895-1924, serving in places as far flung as India, Cuba and South Africa. Once, while serving as a war correspondent for the South Africa Morning Post, he was captured by the enemy. He somehow managed to escape their custody, return to London as a hero and write a best selling book about his experiences.
Donald Trump attended high school at New York Military Academy where he got to get his picture taken in this cool uniform...
Unfortunately for the country, a chronic case of shin splints prohibited him from fighting in Vietnam.
2. Winston Churchill was first elected to the House of Commons at age 26, serving in that body continuously for 64 years. In his time as a public servant he held numerous Ministerial positions, including but not limited to the following...
President of the Board of Trade
Home Secretary
First Lord of the Admiralty
Secretary of State for War
Chancellor of the Exchequer
First Lord of the Treasury
Prime Minister 1940-1945, 1951-1955
Donald Trump built this...
Donald Trump has his own cologne...
And his own collection of neckwear...
In Churchill's spare time, he was an accomplished painter...
Donald Trump starred in a reality television show.
So, as you can see, Winston Churchill and Donald Trump are indeed a lot alike. They are practically brothers.
