John Ivison: Donald Trump is no Winston Churchill, and the comparison is ludicrous

I suggested on social media that where Churchill brought encouragement and hope, Trump brings fear, mistrust and hate. It seemed incontrovertible

Nonetheless, I felt on solid ground in mocking the attempt by Donald Trump’s callow press secretary, Kayleigh McEnany, to compare her boss to Winston Churchill.

When Churchill visited the East End of London in September 1940, he was followed by large crowds – but they were adoring, not belligerent. Journalist Murad Hemmadi said Churchill advocated gassing Indians rebelling against the British Raj in 1919. He was backed by a number of others, one of whom pointed out Churchill “signed off” on terms at Yalta that consigned tens of millions to Soviet rule.

“The mission is not to exclude certain people but to more accurately remember them and to re-write peoples who have been purposely excluded from that story into it,” he said. Churchill considered Gandhi “a bad man and an enemy of the Empire” and was unperturbed by the prospect of his death. He was widely blamed for the Dardanelles disaster in the First World War, which saw him demoted as First Lord of the Admiralty and consigned to the trenches on the Western Front.

Slow day for Ivison? How about we look at Trump's record?

So what you're saying is he's more like Ludacris.

Do you mean the anti christ?

Hey ya guy🙌

He is President of the United States and cares about his country and isn't hiding at home like Trudeau.

True. But he is not responsible for the racial strife down there. It has been going on for a couple of centuries. The distortion of his positions, many of them weak, are still gross exaggeration and hyperbole. US will bounce back fine, and much faster than Canada, by the way.

They’re both fat lol

realDonaldTrump is a phony, fake, former reality TV star who has failed to show any presidential qualities whatsoever. Now that the public increasingly sees what a fake, phony POTUS he truly is... he's begun to retaliate with a series of increasingly angry and spiteful tweets.

Reading all these tweets, shows that the world is in big trouble. It doesn’t matter about our different views, nobody or country or people will ever be on the same page, our world is crumbling in front of our faces. And all we can talk about is “who is right “

What a load of partisan liberal BULL SHIT. realDonaldTrump is leader of the FREE world unlike JustinTrudeau who is the ball liker his master Xi Zinping. Trump2020LandslideVictory TrudeauDictatorship OBAMAGATEGATE

Surprise, surprise 😏 Ivison gets caught in some standard OrangeAndWhiteManBad culture war crossfire. But he does trigger the best drive-by journo I’ve seen in awhile: “It seemed incontrovertible, like the flow rate of the Ottawa River or the irrelevance of the federal NDP.”

Not so ludicrous; Churchill was also a racist. He made it clear he hated Indians. He called them 'beastly people with a beastly religion'. He also said that Indians are poor and starve because 'they breed like rabbits'. Trump is not unlike W. Churchill, he just need the big cigar

John Ivison is shitting on Trump. He fellates Trudeau in his book (such a fanboy). How does he still have a job?

If Obama did this, he’d be called a Saint and given the Peace Prize right on site, and asking for piece. Religion and Politics. Biggest argument in the world.

IvisonJ Brit Nate White wrote the closest to what I think Winston could have said about Donald: “He’s the Picasso of Pettiness, the Shakespeare of Shit”.

That's right. In America the people vote on him so he's not a dictator put in by party gov fascist.

More Anti'American Anti-Trump Propaganda Justin dresses up for every world religion - Justin also stated that 'Christians' ruin Canada ---

Yeah, everyone hated Churchill

They don’t belong in the same sentence.

Sounds like JI has no idea there's a global take down of corruption involving high level people or is putting out a globalist article to denigrate the man who is leading the fight in hopes he loses. You're not going to get info on whats really going in these media sources.

They tried to burn the church down!! It’s dipshite journalism like this, which is the real cause behind the riots and looting

You know bunker boy is having a tough week when the National Post starts taking shots at him 😂 😂

And your no Christie Blatchford. Trump's more a kin to Lincoln. How? Disrupting the income of the power elites by cutting of their source of revenue. It used to be the confederate states, today it's an National Socialist state, China. Both have no regard for human rights.

It's not what you think . . . it's really . . .

He is one of the most important people in the world today. The majority stand a real chance of getting back a civilised society as long as he remains president. If the globalists win you'll have communism and then then the snowflakes will understand what they have done.

I felt the same way when a couple of Canadian media outlets tried to compare trudeau to W. Churchill.

You've got a point, he hasn't killed nearly as many civilians in brutal repressive police actions as Churchill, but he's working on getting those numbers up using his own citizens, the comparison is getting more accurate.

What a stupid use of your time John. Trump certainly is not suggesting that nor are his supporters. You are just trying to start a fight. I wish you lefty journalist would promote a sense of honour and truth......how novel hey?

Bookie

Journalism...it was nice while it lasted. I think? I dunno it was dead even before I was born... but now it seems y'all dont even try to be journalists.

Now to Trudeau and Mickey Mouse
