Why is this such a big deal?

In war big decisions have to be made ... and Churchill had to make big decisions in a Big, Big, War.

Or one could read the speech by Barack Obama from which that quote was selectively, and mendaciously, taken http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/obamafuture.asp

//“An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile, hoping it will eat him last.” //

Another Churchill quote.:))

It was returned when Bush left.

It was replaced by a bust of Abraham Lincoln.

The Martin Luther King bust is in another place in the office.

You've opened with a article that says

'Winston Churchill bust set for Oval Office return by Donald Trump'

But you say it qas been returned 8 years ago so how is it going to be returned to the Oval Office?

Winston Churchill was half American

I suspect that Trump was unaware of the situation when he made that statement.

as Khandro says, Churchill had American blood; they've always felt they had some stake in h im.

never mind the bust in the white house, why haven't the historical revisionists demand that he be cast from his plinth in parliament square? after all, they would have you believe that he was a racist, imperialist white supremacist - a view that was expressed by a prospective labour MP....

Just like the Pilgrim Fathers had English blood. . :))

Unlike many.
