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".

Great Picture!
Churchill was the greatest man of the 20th Century, and it’s not even close.
I have mixed feelings about being jazzed about being buddy buddy with a european pc socialist country being overrun by muslims and them not dojng anything about it except covering it up.
Unless they change course to the country they once were, i am not hyped up to have closer ties with them.
Can somebody please explain to me why the bust of Mr. Churchill was removed in the first place?
Man, all this winning really sucks!
Given our national glass house the past eight years, it should not be surprising if the Brits are feeling a bit of the same.
That being said, our new sheriff and their recent Brexit augurs a sea change.

In 2012, D’Souza released his film 2016: Obama’s America, an anti-Obama polemic based on D’Souza’s 2010 book The Roots of Obama’s Rage. The book and movie present the view that Barack Obama’s attitude toward America derives from his father’s anti-colonialism and from a psychological desire to fulfill his father’s dream of diminishing the power of Western imperial states. The film was the highest-grossing conservative documentary film produced in the United States.[8]

Can we send Barry’s portrait back to Kenya?
If you have no interest in history, then why even bother being on FR? Our country has been on the road to being a european pc country in case you haven’t noticed. Farage and others are trying to stop it. Bringing a bust of a great western leader back to the WH is a symbolic gesture that all should admire.

If there isn’t one already of Thatcher get one
note to self: read then post . . .
I’m surprised he didn’t replace it with a bust of himself..
No more bowing to foreign potentates; no more giving Iran their way; no more fiddling with ISIS; no more causing strife in the ME by Obama/Hillary backed "Arab Spring". I bet he makes Egypt a major ally, like they once were. Israel will have his full support.
The USA is back and will re-earn respect from out allies and enemies alike!!!
Truly remarkable white male with 'nads, a well-earned place in history's pantheon, and an intellectual powerhouse .. everything that jugeared traitor is NOT.
Brexit was non binding and the powers that be are working to make sure it never happens. That vote has no weight of law, parliament has to vote to leave. I said it right then it wasnt over because of this fact.
If they can ensure a proper reflected vote, that wil be great. Hope they do. But that country has a lot of hardcore euro socialist policies integrated into peoples thinking there that they have to overcome if they want to be great again.
Whats the point about being closer to a country we are also trying to move away from from a soxialist pc perspective, if they really don’t? Doesnt help us.
Good. It should have never been removed.
You may be right. I’ve always adored him - but I’m a romantic sort of person when it comes to history.
