I don't like you either

‘I don’t like you either’: diplomats hold their breath as Trump chides Rudd over previous comments


“I don’t like you either. And I probably never will,” US President Donald Trump told Australian ambassador Kevin Rudd at the White House cabinet room table.

It was the testiest and most uncomfortable remark at a typically freewheeling and chaotic presidential press conference.

But it was quickly followed by laughter across the packed room: the guffaws coming as if a pressure valve had been released in Australian government and diplomatic circles.

A half-hour later, following a remarkably drama-free and warm meeting between Trump and the Australian prime minister, Anthony Albanese, Rudd was heard to apologise to the president, leaning over the table to say sorry to the man he called a “village idiot” four years ago.

Trump, according to Australian sources in the room, told Rudd “all is forgiven” after the media filed out.

All good, clean fun.

Remember, the Vice Prez, JD, agreed completely, calling the big fella an absolute idiot, America's Hitler and totally unfit for our nation's office.

He's most virtuous, you see. JD, a self-confessed Never Trumper, called his DL morally reprehensible, said he had a duty to the nation to call him out.

We don't need to get started on Tucker, Rupert, or all those members of the big fella's first cabinet, who said all this, and more.

But that's okay. I'm sure we can all get along just fine. KRudd was just repeating what DL's own team told him, almost verbatim.

Forgive and forget, no?

Why is Australia even bothering? Trump is not going to save you when China invades your "shithole" of a country


Hey, Trump's words, not mine.


"Tóuxián" - Means surrender in Chinese. Best to learn how to speak it now.



Right, Blooby?

Good question, Marla, we've raised it ourselves, dear.

Every other country in the civilized world is staying well away.

Rudd should never have apologized. He should have demanded DL said we're the best little country in the world first.

It's embarrassing the Albo needed to stroke Trump's ego, saying how nice the Whitehouse reno looks, but given that it's the easiest way to manipulate him, flattery, Albo, like other world leaders, will do what it takes to protect the people they represent.

Too bad that doesn't work within the US to protect Americans from Trump.

And... the soap opera continues.

Front page and page 5 of today's The Sunday Times.

'Say bad things about me, I don't forget'.

His head must be full of bad things that so many people have said about him. No wonder he's borderline insane.

"I don't know anything about him. I think he said, a long time ago, something bad. You know, when they say bad (things) about me, I don't forget".

- US President Donald Trump when asked about Kevin Rudd.

Almost as funny as "Nothing bad can happen, it can only good happen".  Grin

Only Trump can save us from the Chinese.

If it wasn't for the Yanks, the Chinese would already have invaded us.

Trump is a colossal man-child. This is nothing more than ego and petulance on full display and shows just how fragile his ego really is. Nothing in the Candian advertisement was untrue - nothing.

I wish that Albo could grow a spine and take Trump to the WTO because we have a legally binding free trade agreement with the United States and they have a trade surplus with us. There is literally no justification - legal or otherwise - for him imposing tariffs on Australia. He is nothing more than a bully and the only way to deal with a bully is to stand up to him and bully them right back. If he had a spine, Albo should've told Trump that we will back out of AUKUS and build our nuclear sub fleet with the United Kingdom and America gets no money (hundreds of billions of dollars) for their ship builders and no extra jobs from it unless Trump removes all tariffs on Australia. He should also have said no rare earth mineral deal either unless Trump removes all tariffs on Australia. Australia is in a much stronger position than Albo thinks, but he's too weak to use it and would prefer instead to suck up to Trump than do some hard work.

Trump put Rudd in his place who humiliated himself by not saying sorry immediately when asked to, rather trying his pompous excuse of ego before it being cut down.
Al'balony humiliated his country with his cowardice as usual.

Trump is an egotistical narcissist of the highest order, with an massive ego that is as fragile as wet paper. He is a man-child who is desperate for adulation and thinks he's always the smartest person in the room. If only that were even half true. Just watch his cabinet meetings. It's a vomit-inducing series of cabinet members heaping ridiculous levels of praise upon their Dear Leader as if their lives depend on it - which their political lives probably do.
