The embarrassing spectacle of Aussie journalists constantly asking when the PM will personally meet Trump is painful to observe. It’s like they have a subservience gene that activates when discussing the US.

Every day they debase themselves out of work. So out of touch with reality and those they need to tune in and pay up.

We debase ourselves every time we engage with the USA, this has been the case for decades.

Why? He is wind. He stands for nothing, he cares for nothing, and he just blows around without substance. Different every minute.

I reckon we label AID overseas and other support we give to emerging economies as Defence Spending. Any climate based projects should be labelled Defence Spending . We know it makes us safer. And if the US can claim all the money and arms they give to Israel as Aid.....

They don't understand who he truly is. Appeasement is the biggest mistake of all.

I wouldn’t be giving him anything, I’d be taking it away. The submarine money, the free army base. If he doesn’t want to be friendly then we can make that happen.

We don't want to give him anything, we just want him to eff off. Albanese and Co need to start paying attention to the Aus people and govern for us, not for the US.
