If Donald Trump is elected president, that Winston Churchill bust might continue its hiatus from the Oval Office — after all, Trump is already off to an awkward start with America's allies across the pond. In an interview Monday, the presumptive Republican nominee admitted that he didn't think he'd be making friends with British Prime Minister David Cameron anytime soon. "It looks like we are not going to have a very good relationship," Trump said.
