Donald Trump tells Australia to 'screw China' on commodities

DONALD Trump has advised Australia to "screw" China by raising its commodity prices.

"I say raise your prices," the flamboyant American billionaire told a Sydney audience tonight.

"You really screw them on the sale of raw materials.

"They need you badly. You have all the cards."

Criticising America's lack of tough negotiators in business dealings with China, Trump said: "One of the reasons I love Australia is because you're selling them all sorts of s***."

Trump also praised "your financial genius", referring to Treasurer Wayne Swan's selection as world finance minister of the year.

"I don't know who gives him that award, maybe he does," Trump said.

"I do that all the time, give myself awards.

"But I think you are doing OK."

Trump also continued to pitch his prospects of running for US president as an independent after deciding not to contest the Republican candidacy.

"If the economy continues to be bad - and I think it will because we have incompetent people running the country - and if the Republicans pick the wrong candidate, I will very strongly consider running as an independent," he said.

Trump was giving a motivational talk at a business seminar on a one-day visit to Sydney in which he also fitted in a round of golf and a cameo appearance on TV's Celebrity Apprentice.

He arrived on a commercial flight this morning, leaving his own $100 million Boeing 757 back at home.

The single-handicap golfer, who owns four courses in the US, headed straight to the exclusive Australian course for 18 holes.

"After flying for 22 hours I honestly didn't even know where I was," he said.

He taped a segment for the Nine Network's Australian version of Celebrity Apprentice, the ratings hit he hosts in the US.

Then he headed to Sydney's Entertainment Centre, where he was one of the headline acts at a so-called National Achievers Congress.

Thousands of people paid between $195 and $3000 to attend the three-day Sydney congress, which featured 14 speakers.

Trump flies to Melbourne this morning for another National Achievers Congress speaking engagement.

Besides China just about owns us so we might not be in a position to dictate to them.

But how would we increase the prices, according to Bob Brown, 80% of our mines are foreign owned?

Honestly, how stupid is Donald?

Doesn't he know that "Australia" doesn't sell China the stuff?

"Australia" just supplies the labour and access to the minerals. It's a few multi national companies that set the prices and actually sell the stuff for their own profit.

I wish he'd f-ck up and die.
