There were times when he was almost Trumply.... except Trump never did go near where there were bullets flying.

Quote:But there's another side to Churchill's politics and career that should not be forgot amid the endless parade of eulogies. To many outside the West, he remains an unvarnished racist and a stubborn imperialist, forever on the wrong side of history.
Churchill's detractors point to his well-documented bigotry, articulated often with shocking callousness and contempt. "I hate Indians," he once trumpeted. "They are a beastly people with a beastly religion."
He referred to Palestinians as "barbaric hordes who ate little but camel dung". When quashing insurgents in Sudan in the earlier days of his imperial career, Churchill boasted of killing three "savages". Contemplating restive populations in northwest Asia, he infamously lamented the "squeamishness" of his colleagues, who were not in "favour of using poisoned gas against uncivilised tribes".
