Churchill certainly had his “Trumpian” moments.

As in: "When accused by a female MP of being 'disgustingly drunk' Churchill responded: 'My dear, you are ugly, and what’s more, you are disgustingly ugly. But tomorrow I shall be sober and you will still be disgustingly ugly.'"

Churchill's granddaughter Celia Sandys also told Mr Johnson that her grandfather had told her himself about the time he was on a lecture tour of America and was served a buffet lunch of cold chicken.

"May I have some breast?" he asked his hostess. "Mr Churchill," she replied, "In this country we ask for white meat or dark meat."

The following day Churchill sent her an orchid, with the message: "I would be obliged if you would pin this on your white meat."
