NIGEL FARAGE has revealed that Donald Trump will re-install a bust of Winston Churchill removed from the Oval Office by Barack Obama - in a clear sign of the friendship the new President wishes to foster with Britain.
The interim Ukip leader said Mr Trump has already pushed Britain to the front of the queue for a favourable trade relationship and added that he is the man to forge stronger ties with the US as he flew to visit the business tycoon in his first days as President Elect.
Mr Farage said: "We talked about the prospect of the United Kingdom being at the front of the queue, all of which was met positively."
The Ukip leader described Donald Trump as an "anglophile" and said his re-installation of the Churchill statue was a clear sign of his appreciation for the historically warm relationship between the allies.
He said: "At the end of our time with Trump we asked him if the bust of Sir Winston Churchill that Obama had removed from the Oval Office could be put back in its rightful place. He enthusiastically thought that was a good idea. Need I say more?"
Nigel Farage played a key role in Mr Trump's US election campaign, speaking at rallies and drumming up support, with Mr Trump referring to his shock election victory as "Brexit plus plus".

I reject your stupid assumption in your first sentence. That is your ignorant assumption.
Wait for the BiBi to 0bamination FU ...
Reagan is taller than both of them.
“Churchill had a checkered history (he advocated for eugenics at one time) but that doesnt seem to be why Obama deemed his bust to be statue non grata.”
Given the support by the administration of Planned Parenthood, why didn’t you bring this up sooner? He might have kept it where it was.
Dig up Moochie’s garden too and turn it into a putting green.
awesome
Even though it’s only a small statute, this acceptance of the Churchhill
bust send a strong symbol to our allies across the pond?
Never has so much been owed by so many to one man.
Because, our skirmishes in the late 18th & early 19th centuries notwithstanding, they are US.
And yes, I hope for change there almost as much as for change here, but the above counts for a yuge something in my book.
What can DJT return to Africa? Obama, Kenya’s misbegotten son.
Winston in, Che out
It’s really starting to feel like I live in America again. :-)
Created at least thousands of jobs too.
Funny story about that. From the book "Gestures" by Desmond Morris, Peter Collett, Peter Marsh and Marie O'Shaughnessy:
Early in his career, Churchill used the palm-in two-fingered gesture for "Victory" until a staff member politely told him its actual meaning, at which point he reversed it.
...ever heard that one? ( it sounds like something Snopes would come up with )
Wow... I was just thinking about this the other day! Love it!
Now that Trump’s intentions have been made Churchill’s bust will be MIA, stored away in the Raiders of the Lost Ark government warehouse.
Then Trump can commission a replica......
