        Churchill is clawing out of his grave, cigar in mouth, ready to defend his good name.

        Are you suggesting that, as a historian, you are struggling to make the analogy work????

        Maybe we should ask for clarification. Did Churchill have a bombastic younger brother who had no sense of either history or governing? Or Joe Churchill, who used to fix cars in my old neighborhood?

        Churchill had a younger brother, Jack, who became a stockbroker and died in 1947. He lived in No 10 during WWII when he was bombed out: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Churchill_(1880–1947) …

        I had no idea. I hope he was a wonderful person and excellent dinner companion. And that he used actual words to form complete sentences.

        Not to be confused with "Mad Jack" Churchill (no relation) who went into battle in WWII armed with a longbow, bagpipes and a Scottish broadsword: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Churchill …

        Though he was born in Hong Kong, educated in the Isle of Man and lived in Surrey.

        He brought an admirable world view to his mad endeavors. A person who plays the bagpipes presents an formidable foe.

        "Churchill was said to be unhappy with the sudden end of the war, saying: "If it wasn't for those damn Yanks, we could have kept the war going another 10 years!"

        It's like comparing Groucho Marx to Richard Marx.

        Comparing Trump to Churchill as a leader or even as a human being is kind of like comparing Phyllis Diller to Brigitte Bardot as a sex symbol.
