According to SkyNews (link posted in comment up-thread):

PM Turnbull:'I want to make one observation about it, the report the president hung up is not correct, the call ended courteously,' he said.

I wonder if Trump is doing what I would do: provide a fake story to a select handful of my people and then wait for the leak to appear.

Pretty easy to do- bait and trap!

So, it turns out the AP published fake news with their bogus “transcript” of President Trump’s call with Nieto:

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-02-01/trump-to-mexico-take-care-of-bad-hombres-or-us-might

No doubt we’ll find out the same thing about President Trump’s call to Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, namely the “leaked” “transcript” WaPo is promoting is completely bogus.

Today, Malcolm Turnbull said the reports were false and that his phone call with President Trump was cordial....!

There was no leak.

This was fake news based on lies and deceit, just like the fake news and lies about Trump’s phone call to the Mexican President.

RE: I read yesterday that this was fake news and that the call was very productive...

Kindly cite the source for the above please. Thanks.

Australian prime minister denies Trump canceled refugee deal in testy call

According to the Post, Mr. Trump called the pact “the worst deal ever” and accused Australia of exporting the “next Boston bombers.”

But Mr. Turnbull denied that, saying that “the president assured me he would follow through” on the deal.

“I’m not going to comment on these reports out of the U.S. on this conversation,” (Ed. the yelling match & hang-up) the prime minister said.

...

It looks like the leaks are coming from our so-called, 'allies', and not from the Trump White House.

According to Laura Jayes of Sky News Australia, citing sources from the Australian side of the conversation, the call involved considerable pushback from her country’s leader and as a result devolved into “yelling” before Mr. Trump hung up.

She said Mr. Turnbull went into the conversation with the mentality that “to confront a bully, you need to bully back.”

False news. It is a crime against nature that even one sick sapling is murdered to create newsprint to make this yellow rag.

“Why do people keep posting links from that rag?”

Are they never Trumpsters getting paid by George $oreA$$ like the rioters in Bezerkley last night.

Now how in hell does the WAPO know the results of the phone call with the Aussie Prime Minister?Did they just happen to have a bug on the phone when the conversation occurred?Or was there a reliable informer listening in?

Sounds like Fake News to me.
