Joe Biden, the US President, risked relations with the UK by removing Winston Churchill's bust from the Oval Office, Donald Trump has said, as he described the wartime leader as a very handsome man.
Mr Trump, who was president from 2016 to 2020, also warned that China could try to invade Taiwan after the winter Olympics in Beijing in a few months' time.
In an interview with former Ukip leader Nigel Farage for GB News, Mr Trump said he had no idea that Mr Biden had removed the bust of Churchill in one of his first acts when he entered the White House earlier this year.
He said: "Why would you do that with Winston Churchill when you're trying to get along with your country? ... It is such a token, but such an important token.

Must be why Churchill's party was swept from power right after WWII.

think I would have known it was him. Definitely looking good then.
That is certainly not what the bust in the WH looks like.

(47,468 posts)about Winston Churchill. His interest in history is pretty much nonexistent.

(14,425 posts)I'm sure the PM doesn't have a bust of FDR sitting in his office.

(8,299 posts)Isn't Donald Trump the one time failed president, failed reality tv star, and 10 time bankrupt businessman? Why do I care what he has to say, again?

(32,084 posts)He was just as important an ally as Churchill. Leave it up to Trump to place a statue of a foreigner in the Oval Office, instead of a fellow American--and then make a big fucking deal of it when his successor removed it. Everything is about appearances with that asshole.
