Trump To Bring Back Churchill Statue SHAMEFULLY Removed from White House by President Obama

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".

What can Trump return to Africa? Hmmm...that’s a tough one!

There is a tacky Africana-themed coffee table that the Obamas installed in the Oval Office. It is so cheap and '60s-looking, it might even have a formica top.

Similarly, Michelle hung an op-art style painting by an African-American artist in the Old Family Dining Room (a public space, not the private space in the family residence). It's hideous.

Not only that, but Michelle painted the walls of this public space a trendy shade of dreary gray, like you might see in some hipster loft in NYC. Melania should have the room re-painted in period-appropriate colors asap.

It's not that I'm opposed to the Obama's placing African or African-American art and furniture in the White House -- as long as it was well-chosen. But what they chose was pure schlock.

Excellent!

And, if I might suggest...

Neatly inscribed beneath the bust should be...

Never give in. Never give in. Never...except for convictions of honour and good sense. W. Churchill

(Which, by sheer coincidence, has been my tagline since 2004.)

If they remain socialist in mindset it doesnt help me or you. Ever since wwii they veered hardcore left socialist utopia. They are a fraction of the coutry they used to be after 70+ years of bad socialist state diktats. They are so used to it, way more than we are to our own problems.

I have german french and italian roots/relatives there, but the socialist idiocy of their countries doesnt make me want to have stronger ties to them,as they do mot appear to be giving them up anytime soon.

I dont wax nostalgia about homelands that resemble fascist/socialist run places. England brought in muzzies just like everywere else. They have no go areas like,everyonemelse. Over a million rapes of,british women by muslims and officialy its covered up, like everywhere else due to political correct socialism.

It is madness living under socialism. It why we are purging now. If they can force parliament to vote to leave the eu as the nonbinding referendum vote wants, then i will view them in a deservedly better light.

The bust is the property of Her Majesty’s Government and had been on loan to the U.S. for sixty years, when our first Mau-Mau president returned it. HMG may not be inclined to return it.

The real story is that there has been a Churchill bust in the White House since at least the 60's. That bust was being restored when W took office. Tony Blair loaned W a second Churchill bust after he took office. On January 20, 2009, the curators who remove the outgoing president's possessions and loaned items removed the loaned bust and returned it to the British government. The original bust, once restored, was placed back in the White House, where is resides today. A lot of bad things attributed to Obama are true, but this isn't one of them.

It’s a really cool book. I don’t know if it’s still in print, but you might be able to find used copies on the internet.

[LaybackLenny]

YES!

I'll have another helping of AWESOME SAUCE please.

[wally_bert]

Yes and I love it!

Welcome back Winnie!

[Sans-Culotte]

Do the Brits even care about Winston these days?

I enjoyed winning $1,100 bucks too, because I knew it was Lefty money, in the prediction markets.

This is just more of the same Leftist burning through money.

I don’t like this one bit thought. I want something done about it.

[taildragger]

"YES YES YES and MORE YES!!!"

I'll have what he's having ;-).

Seriously, how many of us here on FR ( like myself ) have suggested this?

Pinch me, if Team Trump aren't lurking here, I am Richard Millhouse Nixon...

No. It is well-documented that the bust outside the Treaty Room is NOT the same Churchill bust that was displayed in the Oval Office. See here, from CBS News:

The British Embassy on Friday confirmed to Mediaite.com that despite caustic pushback from an Obama administration official, conservative Washington Post columnist Charles Krauthammer was correct when he wrote in his column this week that Mr. Obama "started his presidency by returning to the British Embassy the bust of Winston Churchill that had graced the Oval Office." - source: CBS News

And here, from the Telegraph:

Barack Obama's White House has been forced to admit that it did return a bust of Sir Winston Churchill to British diplomats, after describing such claims as "100 per cent false". - source: The Telegraph

Just another Obama administration lie.

I’ll bet the rap and hip hop artists are going to feel bad now.

In an interview a week or two ago, Farage said he would like to be a liason between the US and Brussels.

Oops! You can't have that bust! I've melted it down to help make a proper statue of me, your Emperor Obama I. Of course the people of Great Britain wholly approve of this, as a form of reparations that they own Kenyans.

Here are small, 3/4 size busts of me. They are available from the artist for $3,750 or, you can purchase them directly from me, for only $7,500, each! What a deal!

All net proceeds from sales will be directed to the BHO Foundation, where some of the proceeds shall be used to create a 3X life-size brass statue, which will reside in the Oval Office. If you act quickly, it should be in place for your worship, by January 19, 2017, on time for President Trump to worship his Emperor.

Here is the picture from which the statue will be made.

For all members of foreign royalty, you may address me as Your Excellency, Emperor and god-King, Obama I.

[Right_in_Virginia]

Good! I really like this news. :)

[Cobra64]

I believe we will see Farage visiting the WH many more times in the next four years.

Does Nigel play golf?

[A Formerly Proud Canadian]

Did I forget to add “</sarc>”? Though unfortunately, not so much!
