C’mon. There’s nothing Churchillian about that mincing, panhandling grifter. He has the same puppet strings attached to him that Biden does.

If you look into Churchill, the real Churchill... Read William Manchesters’ bio - “The Last Lion”, three volumes. This is a classic of its kind, maybe it should be required reading for all PoliSci students.

Anyway, in his day, in UK politics, Churchill WAS often considered a “panhandling grifter”. He was always short of funds in spite of being an aristocrat, and survived through receiving payoffs from the British “press lords” and financiers of the day. If Britain had US campaign finance laws at the time the Feds would have prosecuted him. When Nazi propaganda accused him of being a lackey of “Jewish financiers”, they were at least partly right.

A pretty good article on Churchill’s finances.
