President Trump's telephone calls bring the heat

Australia should consider itself lucky.

President Donald Trump could have threatened to invade instead of just hanging up on Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull and the rest of those blokes down under.

In what should have been a friendly call to one of our staunchest allies, the call ended up nasty, but not before Trump, as is his wont, bragged about his electoral victory over Hillary Clinton, something of which he cannot stop talking about.

How fortunate the author had a transcript or even a recording of this call! Otherwise we might have accused him speculated wildly!

Australia is in a tough position on this one issue- Odumbass promised he would accept 2000 criminal muslims into the USA

Trumps said “no f-—ing way”

So Australis is stuck with them AFTER a promise from an American President.

THAT IS WHAT NEEDS TO BE MADE PUBLIC- not that the phone call got ‘nasty’ - what it got nasty about. ANOTHER stupid move by Obama, and Trumps refusal to go along with it.

SEND THEM TO THEIR HOME COUNTRY

Chock full of “fake news” and tired, retread accusations that have been debunked by the administration. Worth reading only to see how deranged and desperate these people are...

Wasn’t this denied explicitly by the Australian Prime Minister?

If had beaten Hillary Clinton, I'd be bragging about it to.

He didn't just beat Hillary. He beat the dems, the repubs, the media, Hollywood, the domestic elites, the foreign elites, everybody. He should be allowed to brag.

I think Trump should call back, apologize and offer to accept them all. And they can all be put on special direct flights to Seattle, where they will stay.

Odumbo assumed that Hildabeast was going to be president- was poison pill for her- then Trump was elected .
Australians should be upset with old jugulars - no president needs to be bound by promises of predecessor

Trump should know better. If he can’t diplomatically reneg at this point, he needs to enlarge the deal.

Agree that he’ll accept them at Gitmo if Australia will pay the prison expansion costs, and they together find some small country—maybe an island or an African nation that would agree to take them in some sort of prison construction and management deal that would give both the Aussies and the US a place to send prisoner of war types and refugees at a lower cost than importing them to their own soil. Perhaps a Muslim-majority Northern African nation would be ideal for this.

Peter Lucas - Donald Trump really should have gone bold and appointed — or reappointed — Hillary Clinton as secretary of state.
