Steve Bannon compared Donald Trump to Winston Churchill and former president Franklin Delano Roosevelt as the former White House strategist claimed the president is on pace to win re-election if his administration successfully combats the coronavirus and eases the "economic contagion" as global markets suffer from the outbreak.
"This is Trump's Churchill moment", said Mr Bannon, the former chair of right-wing website Breitbart and an architect of Trump's nationalist populist platform.
He told Fox News on Sunday that the president must "bring the country together" by confronting the virus as well as the plummeting stock market. "He does that, you don't need to worry about 2020."
Mr Bannon called the 2020 race for president among Democrats the "Bernie vs the anti-Bernie movement" and claimed that African-American voters "so critical to the Democratic party" are not supporting the Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, who is currently leading national polls.

(2,227 posts)Bannon's MO is repeat lies until they are accepted as truth.
I don't think it is going to work in this particular instance. Too many on video examples of the turd's idiocy, to be compared to ALL the health care professionals...
His supporters won't see the disconnect. Everyone else will.

(7,538 posts)Churchill was universally excoriated for his 'adventurism' in sending tens of thousands to their deaths in a boneheaded attempt to tie up Axis forces in Turkey during WWI. He was in effect banned from leadership for decades. Republicans always get their history ass-backwards. Even before WWII was finished Churchill had been kicked to the curb by Brits.
