Trump Can't Even Get Australia On His Side

He has no sense of diplomacy and thinks that he can run the US like a business. The man is clueless. Alienating our allies and cozying up with dictators. Nice.

It should have been one of the most congenial calls for the new commander in chief — a conversation with the leader of Australia, one of America's staunchest allies, at the end of a triumphant week.
Instead, President Trump blasted Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull over a refugee agreement and boasted about the magnitude of his electoral college win, according to senior US officials briefed on the Saturday exchange. Then, 25 minutes into what was expected to be an hour-long call, Trump abruptly ended it.
At one point Mr Trump informed Mr Turnbull that he had spoken with four other world leaders that day — including Russian President Vladimir Putin — and that, "This was the worst call by far."
Mr Trump's behaviour suggests that he is capable of subjecting world leaders, including close allies, to a version of the vitriol he frequently employs against political adversaries and news organisations in speeches and on Twitter.
He has no sense of diplomacy and thinks that he can run the US like a business. The man is clueless. Alienating our allies and cozying up with dictators. Nice.

Australia has fewer people than California. It'll be ok.

I love all of the down votes though. You really do personify the ignorant south.

Wow... The timing of all these phone call stories that confirm everyone's worst fears about Trump.
Posted on 2/1/17 at 7:33 pm to dmjones
Oh no! Without Australia we're doomed!

It's interesting how we are suddenly getting all kinds of good snippets on the inner workings of the White House. Coincidentally, homelessness is a problem again and we are soon to hear about troop deaths again on the nightly news.

Thought it was going to be a good source because it came from an Australian newspaper. Scrolled to the bottom and saw

Elections have consequences. America deserves whatever it gets from electing this clown.

And stop hiding behind the veil of libertarianism.

Yep. Those of us who didn't vote for this mess... well, we don't deserve it though.
