Trump reportedly accuses Australian PM of seeking to export next ‘Boston bombers’
Fox News ^ | 2/2/2017 | FNC Staff

Posted on 02/02/2017 1:05:51 AM PST by Boomer

President Trump reportedly had a fiery conversation over the weekend with Australia’s prime minister over a refugee deal agreed upon under the Obama administration.

Trump reportedly blasted the agreement as “the worst deal ever” and accused Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull of seeking to export “the next Boston bombers.”

The call went so badly, Trump told Turnbull that he had spoken to Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto and Russia’s Vladimir Putin and their call was his “worst so far.”

Exactly, that demonic Sunni Muslim Marxist Obama creature intended to bring in to the USA even the worst Trojan horse terrorists that even this liberal Australia administration turned away,

RE: Fake news

This is getting out of hand. My brother (who hates Trump for some irrational reason) was complaining yesterday that Trump flew the two judges out to D.C. before making the Supreme Court announcement. I had to inform him that didn’t happen, and was just MORE fake news.

Any time I read ANY of these stories now based on “inside sources” I don’t believe a word of it.

Why do you assume it’s from Trump’s staff? It could just as easily have come from the Australian side.

Because the leak is not just on the Australia call. There are stories about what was said on the Mexico call as well.

Note that Australia isn’t taking them in.

These are muslims that Australia hosted off-land and made a deal with Nobama to ship them to the US.

Australia has their reasons for not admitting them, they aren’t a US problem.

Nobama did not negotiate on behalf of American interests and he kicked over a hell of a lot of anthills for the next administration to have to deal with...

OBAMA agreed to take this batch of illegals off Australia’s hands, not President Trump. And OBAMA made the agreement AFTER President Trump was elected. What I read said it was on November 16th, 2016.

That particular deal defies logic and comprehension, until you factor into it Obama’s desire to plague the country with terrorists and the gutlessness and complicity of Turnbull.

If this story is, in fact, true then the real story is who among Trump’s staff is leaking the details of these private conversations with foreign leaders?

I've been stewing over this all night. Absent knowing who within the administration has access to the content of these calls, I assume that there is a mole trying to embarrass Trump.

There is also another possibility. The administration may have leaked this intentionally in order to emphasize Trumps displeasure with taking in these people. Also as this heats up, it will bring attention to Australia's strict immigration law enforcement. Codified in their law is that anyone who arrives without a visa will not be granted entry no matter the circumstances.

And his purpose behind leaking that he bragged about his electoral college win and that he hung up on the Prime Minister? Why would Trump leak that?

...reportedly had...

Either he had or had not.

Until either President Trump or one his aides mentions something about this, it's just unsourced FAKE news.

Does sound like something Trump would do. As such, it could also be embellishment taken out of context for the WP article.

If you are not going to say no to this deal then put one of these families or people in very small southern and Midwestern towns across the US and let no other person from their families immigrate. Problem solved. They will be constantly monitored by the whole town.

I am not discounting the possibility that the media is making this up or exaggerating what was said. But I'm also not discounting the possibility that it is true and someone in the Administration is trying to embarrass him.

Exactly. I am sick to death of all this refugee BS. Not one more ‘refugee’ should be brought here and I don’t really care what their religion is or isn’t. If we can’t help take care of them there then leave it alone.

This report says the call ended politely so more facts are coming in.

Agreed. It is quite possible.

Just wish we knew how many people would be privy within the administration. Hard to make an assessment lacking that knowledge.

I see. Good point.

I think the guy from Mexico has already said the AP report that characterized the phone call was inaccurate, so maybe someone on the inside is trolling the media.

A dingo ate my empathy.

You know, for a country that's grappling with the devastation wrought by invasive species for as long as Australia has, you would THINK they'd be able to draw some parallels here.
