Trump is the opposite of Hitler.
Trump is our Winston Churchill.
I watched ‘Darkest Hour’ the other evening and told my wife exactly that. At leaast, according to the movie, in the Darkest Hour of Britain’s existence, all the politicians were against the only one that could save them.
And Winston Churchill was a man with little standing in his country for many years, both before and after the Second World War. Once the peace was signed, he was summarily dismissed from his post of Prime Minister and “sent to Coventry” the British term for being put out to pasture. He was thought to be “too dangerous” to the recovery of Great Britain, yet without Churchill, the British economy floundered for years, as the British Empire (on which the sun never set) was stripped away piece by piece.
The Labour Party, led by Clement Atlee, had great sympathies for the various socialist ideologies around the world, and their imprint was left on those territories that gained their independence following the internal economic collapse of Great Britain. That was a perfect example of how NOT to proceed with economic recovery, as one by one, these former colonies took up the concept of command and control policies that effectively bottled up growth for decades, particularly in places like India and many of the newly formed African nations.
I’d take Trump over Churchill any day. The latter was not a very good person.
