Report: Trump lashes out at Australian PM on phone call

Autoplay: On | Off Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) said Thursday that he spoke to the Australian ambassador to express support for the nations' relationship after a heated call from President Trump.

"I called Australia’s Ambassador to the United States this morning to express my unwavering support for the U.S.-Australia alliance," McCain, who's frequently criticized Trump, said in a statement.

McCain added that he asked Joe Hockey, the Australian ambassador to the U.S., to "convey to the people of Australia" that Americans value their alliance, "honor the sacrifice of the Australians who have served and are serving by our side, and remain committed to the safer, freer, and better world that Australia does far more than its fair share to protect and promote.”

I thought we only had one President at a time. But, I’m sure Australians everywhere are glad to hear from him. I know it would certainly make me feel good to visit with Juan.

Arizona should be ashamed that they keep electing this man.

But they won’t be, they will re-elect his side-kick Flake in 2018.

Confidential to McConnell, time to take the little tyrant down a peg or two. A cerebral CAT scan might be in order, too.

What an idiot. Now he has lost all real levels of trust around the world. When you go behind your bosses back, you will go turncoat on anyone.

It is not McCain’s job to meddle in these things.

Its clear - McCain has become the head of the anti-Trump, old-elite wing of the GOP, who is still believe they can grab back control of the party.

This retard acts out so much like a democrat, why doesn’t he just come out of the closet and join their party?

Was he ever this adversarial with obama?

Ask this simple minded nitwit McNut why President Trump was upset. They want us to take the refugees that they will not allow in their land. These refugees are the worst and President Trump refused. McNut is a damn rotten fool.
