Churchill: "I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat!"-- 1940, facing Nazi Germany.

Trump: "I have nothing to offer. No need---everything is great again!" ---2020, refusing to face the pandemic that has killed nearly 200,000, the loss of a third of all businesses, record unemployment, miles-long lines at food banks and a sea-change in race relations.

The whores who have actually compared Trump to Churchill should have the taste slapped right out of their nasty mouths.

For some reason it’s only available for purchase on iTunes right now and it’s not on any streamer. I ended up just deciding to buy it for $5.

And most historical films contain inaccuracy. I’d ignore whatever issue the poster above has about it. Whatever minutiae they’re worked up about doesn’t overshadow Oldman’s performance.
