Social media has exploded in outrage after White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders posted a photo of US President Donald Trump sitting "arrogantly," as some British tabloids referred to it, in former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill's armchair. Many Twitter users claimed that Trump was "unworthy" of sitting in a chair that had belonged to the former British PM, who played a key role in saving the UK from Nazi Germany.
People finding it disgusting that Trump sat on Winston Churchill's chair. I strongly agree, Donald doesn't deserve to sit there.

Needs to personally work in concentration camps and make sure he carries out genocides that kills millions before he's worthy of that chair.
How dare he! Trump will never be the statesman that Churchill was!

The farts Churchill ripped in that chair were less gassy and more intelligent than anything that's ever emitted from Trump's cake hole.

Since Trump had the flagrant impertinence to smugly pose in Winston Churchill's armchair…

The only thing Trump has in common with Churchill is an alliance with Russia.

Difference is Churchill did it to destroy the Nazis, and Trump did it to destroy America.
I’d like a reporter to ask @realDonaldTrump to name one thing Winston Churchill did while he was President.

Just to see if Trump knows Churchill was never President.
There were those, however, who drew parallels between Trump and Churchill, recalling that the latter was not as much of a saint as some Brits think, even going as far as to say that they might have become friends.
Considering that Churchill was an abhorrent racist, Trump's in good company. pic.twitter.com/i4IGlfBkkP

Trump graces the chair of Churchill. Where once a drunk, racist murderer of millions sat now sits the elected leader of most powerful nation who successfully made the world safer through Korean diplomacy. pic.twitter.com/MyR1wF15go

If you saw the Winston Churchill movie and how the liberals hated him, the irony was palpable. Trump is exactly like Churchill!

Some twitterians admired Trump's work, suggesting that it is comparable to that of the wartime British PM.
The West needs Trump as it needed Churchill in his day. https://t.co/iiTWpqF7Q7

History will show that Trump was the Churchill of our time for our country.
