Symbolism matters. That is not debatable. Churchill's bust was sent to George W Bush as a symbol of our strong alliance with Great Britain after 9/11. He may be their most admired historical leader. Obama new full well that sending the bust back would be a slap in the face but he didn't care. Now Trump has erased that insulting and intentional gesture by Obama and is establishing a new era of alliance with Prime Minister May.
