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 refu*gee agreement and boasted about the magnitude of his electoral college win, according to senior U.S. 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 Trump informed Turnbull that he had spoken with four other world leaders that day — including Russian President Vladi*mir Putin — and that “This was the worst call by far.”

One cunt calling another cunt...not news.

[Wells]

I'm shocked that a man notorious for acting like a piece of shit in business acts like a piece of shit in politics.

[Dug]

I hope he called Trump a fat cunt. That would make me laugh so hard.

[PC2]

Trump was right to blast him about a refugee agreement. He made the right move.

[Pendulous]

I think when I was four years old I learned "if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all". It's not like Australia is full of people threatening to go to war with us, they're just sitting there, far away, chilling in their little corner of the world. Trump apparently never grew up past four years old.

I hope the PM called him a cunt in true Australian fashion.

Trump apparently never grew up past four years old.

I think he said, himself, he never grew past first grade.

Searching...

Yup. "When I look at myself in the first grade and I look at myself now, I’m basically the same. The temperament is not that different."

From a biography.

Can't help but wonder the credibility of this article. No sources mentioned about that conversation.

We elected Kim Jong Un's American cousin, I swear to god

Good part about the internet is we get to live tweets from Australians and Turnbull has said he is not going to add anything onto what has already been reported.

Very nice clickbait title, should be trump doesn't waste more time than needed on useless phone call

[Wyrt]

What do Australians call people when they hate them since they call their friends "cunts?"

[God Save The King]

......................
Australia likes us. We have a $12bn trade surplus with them. They're one of our staunchest, most reliable allies.


I just can't even right now. 10/10


Apparently he bragged about the size of his electoral college win. I can only imagine what was going through the PM's head.

[Zandalarian Paladin]

Can someone tell me why we can never have sources instead of hearsay?

"I heard he said X".

Ok, that's great, but just give me some evidence, then I will comment on it.

If these refugees are from low threat countries and they agree to come to the US I think it's fine. Probably most are from Southeast Asia I would think.

It's only 2500 refugees.

[Fudal]

I'm pretty sure the real issue was that Trump told Turnbull to stop blathering and put Pauline Hanson on the phone.

[LaserSharkDFB]

Well, congratulations, Trump supporters. You got just what you wanted: a complete fucking amateur that doesn't know dick about running the most powerful country in the world. A man-child who can't be trusted to have a civil conversation with one of our closest allies. A chump. A mook. A loser. Well done, everyone.

[Cthulhu 2020]

I'm shocked that a man notorious for acting like a piece of shit in business acts like a piece of shit in politics.

"Hillary is like mega super ultra corrupt, and has a history of corruption in politics. Trump only has a history of massive corruption in business and no history of corruption in politics, so therefor he'll probably be a good politician because he's like totally gonna change into a better person once he gains more power."

The hilarity of Trumpkin logical failures pre-election was glorious.

Nay, it was a more than useless phone call.
