1. One similarity between the two: "If Aryan stock is bound to triumph,

I am strongly in favor of using poisoned gas against uncivilized tribes - it would spread a lively terror."

[Warren DeMontague]

2. Churchill- who had flaws, don't get me wrong- looks like he's gonna stick his cane up Hitler's ass

Trump just looks like he's squeezing a particularly rocky loaf into his own depends.

4. True.

As elitist and vehemently racist as he was, Churchill at least saw Hitler for what he was at a time most of the ruling classes in Europe and U.S. were actively courting him.

Trump would definitely have been among said butt kissers.

5. You have such an articulate use of words!

3. Good or bad, Churchill was a serious person

Trump is just an over-gilt under-intellected self-absorbed poseur.
Why am I reminded of...

15. LOL!

Donald Trump is the Derek Zoolander of world leaders!

Next project up: "The Donald Trump Center For Guys Who Can't President Good."

6. Looks more like Lloyd Bridges as McCroskey

10. He wants us to read him as such:

I am an autocrat, therefore, you must obey me.

[Rob H.]

11. I don't remember where I read it initially

but I've seen Trump's photo described as, "What if Frankenstein's monster went to the DMV and didn't understand what was happening?" which is just perfect.

12. Famously, Churchill looked like a baby

He's even said to have acknowledged this himself:

A proud mother remarked that her baby looked exactly like Winston Churchill. Hearing her say this, Churchill replied, "Madam, all babies look like me."

So, Trump wants to look like a baby, as well as act like one.

13. He used to try that in every appearance early in the campaign

Would always have that same look in early interviews.

Churchill's mouth in Ottawa during WWII. Churchill had multiple reasons to be pissed off. Trump is no Churchill.

16. Winnie made the scowl iconic. Two Scoops just makes it look like gas.

17. I can't even believe Trump would put himself in the same league

as Churchill. On Churchill, that look gave him an air of gravitas. On Trump, it just makes him look like a constipated jackass.

18. Churchill's pissed-off expression was genuine

the photographer, Yousuf Karsh, was trying to get the perfect shot...and Churchill was smoking a cigar. Karsh went up to him and said "excuse me, please, Mr Churchill" and snatched the cigar right out of his hand and then took that photo.

[blogslut]

19. That glare is because the photographer had just snatched Churchill's cigar.

At least that's what I heard.
