Did he say suggest there will only be a second stimulus if he wins? I could totally see him completely checking out if he loses, like “why should I sign this. Not my problem”

While I agree with the sentiment, those agents in the car should have been wearing googles and P100 masks. Unnecessary risk of others well being is reckless and unbecoming in a leader.

They don’t let people visit their relatives dying of covid because there is a risk. The same kind of risk the people around trump are being forced to take. It’s not just about these individuals. Every infected person is a potential source of spread. Kellyanne Conway got her family Infected. DC cases are spiking and it’s almost certainly due to irresponsible behavior at the White House. 30 known cases are now directly related to the White House, which is likely the worst spreading event in the city during the pandemic.

This is a picture showing an act of ultimate recklessness:

A single stray Luftwaffe plane could have created carnage here - killing the leader of the nation in a time of emergency as well as scores of innocent bystanders. For God's sake - Churchill is even leaning out of the car, exposing himself to any Nazi sleepers closeted in the UK with a Parabellum hand gun.
Maybe that is why he is remembered as a great leader?

It would have been WAY safer for Churchill to have stayed in a bunker. If he absolutely had to come out he should have travelled in a tank - their Matildas were shit compared to Panthers but would have at least offered some protection

Just comparing styles of leadership in war-time or war-like circumstances.

The U.S. is certainly at war, but how does Trump getting covid and then downplaying it resemble Churchill?

It is a matter of opinion. I am simply showing that both leaders employed PR stunts which endangered both themselves and others, for a PR effect.

Although Churchill was known for his rash and cavalier additude when it came to war often treating as a great adventure and exposing himself to danger. They triangulated all the incoming air raids and knew when and where they were coming. Hence the whole Coventry blitz controversy. Which also as been said by Churchill closest that he didn't receive the telegram warning of the raid in time rather than choosing actually let the town be destroyed.

Churchill was trying to win a war. Trump is trying to win an election. You don't see the difference between the two? Trump's covid has literally nothing to do with the war that he's promised to end but still hasn't gotten around to ending. He doesn't need PR to end the war. He just needs to pick up the phone and give an order.

I see many differences between the two but that does not mean that there cannot be similarities. In fact I have pointed one out - both Churchill and Trump, in a situation of nation emergency, did a public parade thing which was reckless in terms of rational analysis, exposing themselves and others to avoidable dangers. Can you see the similarity between the two - in this narrow sense?

Not to scale though, one was a world war, the other an ego fix
-------------------- “I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”
