Winston Churchills back and this time hes the classiest of class acts.
At least so says radio talk show host Michael Savage, who praised Donald Trump as the Winston Churchill of our time during the real estate billionaires appearance on Savages radio show Wednesday.
Savage, who said he is supporting Trumps presidential candidacy, talked voter identification laws, immigration and the Iran nuclear deal with the man who is currently leading most Republican presidential primary polls.
Asked about Iran, Trump said it is inconceivable that New York Democratic Sen. Chuck Schumer, who he always thought loved Israel, would support the Iran deal in the Senate.
After Savage interjected to ask whether Schumer has come out to say he is going to support the deal, Trump replied, nobody knows what he is going to do, before suggesting Israel might pressure him to oppose it.
Actually Im surprised that Israel isnt putting tremendous pressure on Schumer because they do have a lot of power over Schumer, Trump said, implying a sitting U.S. senators vote could be swayed by the pressure of a foreign power.

Same here.
I am a student of Churchill history. Believe me...you are wrong!
You had better pray that Trump gets elected.
This isn't a matter of conservative vs liberal...this is about the saving of America...and the world.
Micheal Savage is “cross-eyed”.... has no idea Trump is a republican “this week”..
Trump looking for “visibility”... NOT being elected..
Visibility IS MONEY... before and after the election..
Trump is tick on the federal dog...
wants to breed MORE ticks.. so... he tells conservatives what they want to hear..
Seems to be working too..
LIKE; Obama once elected WILL DO what ever he wants to do..
ALL politicians have learned MUCH from OBAMA...
Since when does that matter anymore?
Savage ping
Churchill made some major blunders. Google "gallipoli" for example.
Churchill saved England, but it was his spirit...his leadership...more than his strategic input.
As he said, "It was the nation and the race dwelling all round the globe that had the lion's heart. I had the luck to be called upon to give the roar."
Good stuff.
It wouldn’t matter to Obama...but Netanyahu is a man of honor.;-)
Even as a regular Savage listener, I find fawning accolades distasteful, regardless of who is laying them on who.
“Netayahu, however much we like him, is not an American”.
You’re right of course, but he speaks better English than the majority of Americans, especially and can say more than two words without having to look at a teleprompter.
Spirit yes, leadership, that too, but how? Through the English language, the strength of words.
No...I have no idea what you mean.
The Dardenelles was a huge loss of life that Churchill overcame to go on to leadership.
What are you...a Wikipedia scholar?
Believe me...I have been there.
It’s not about me.
Yes clarification is needed, typical computer typo.
I meant to say, neither was Churchill an American.
My prayers are directed towards a better candidate, Ted Cruz. And not a buffoon like Donald Trump.
If if had a dollar for each typo I made...I wouldn’t be here typing.
But then I also pray for His will to be done.
It might be Trump.
I'm currently reading William Manchester's three volume bio of Churchill. Churchill was not in control of the Gallipoli which doomed it. Churchill favored a naval assault on Constantinople which probably would have succeeded. A preliminary naval assault up the coast had devastated weak Turkish defenses.
The Turks were making plans to evacuate the whole peninsula and move their military out of Constantinople. If the Allies would have acted in time, they probably could have taken Constantinople with little effort and knocked Turkey out of the war. That would have made more countries join the Allies and put enormous pressure on Germany.
However, the big men in charge of military affairs would not act promptly. They wasted many weeks vacillating before landing troops on the Gallipoli peninsula. By that time the Turks, with the help of the Germans, had built up their defences. The sea was still open to a concerted naval assault, but the Allied top military men refused to listen to Churchill.
So Churchill took most of the blame for the failure of Gallipoli, even though (1) he was not in charge and (2) his plan was poorly implemented.
