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.”

The Election is over McCain - you lost to a wimp. Shut up and watch DJT - maybe you’ll learn something.

McCain also recently went to the Ukraine to encourage their government to launch their new offensive against the rebels in the east. He’s playing world politics at President Trump’s expense.

Interesting that McQueeg called the ambassador and not the PM...

“Arizona should be ashamed that they keep electing this man.”

Those idiots dont care.

He was in Nam and was a POW so they act like they owe him that job FOR LIFE! Hell they wont even come out and protest him for this crap!

So they either support it, or are the biggest bunch of lazy SOBs out there.

I’m sure someone will be around in a few moments to spin some bullshot yard that the GOPe and Dems keep reelecting him

McCain really needs to go ... anywhere other than Congress.

C'mon, Arizonans ... it's time you did your patriotic duty for America!

While former Treasurer Joe Hockey settles into the job as our top diplomat in Washington, his high-achieving better half, Melissa Babbage, is hardly sitting around the residence swilling Scotch all afternoon.

No, Babbage – a former head of Deutsche Bank’s global finance desk – has already been appointed to the US Board of reinsurance giant Swiss Re. Until the Hockeys’ departure in January, Babbage sat on Swiss Re’s Australian Board (chaired by Jillian Broadbent) and was a director of QSuper (chaired by Liberal Party federal vice president Karl Morris).

Babbage is also set to join the Board of the American Australian Association, alongside the country managers of our Big Four, senior figures at JPMorgan, Citi and Morgan Stanley, and executives from Rio Tinto and News Corp. News chairman Rupert Murdoch, Visy chairman Anthony Pratt, Westfield’s Peter Lowy, BHP chair Jac Nasser and Morgan Stanley chairman James Gorman all sit on the AAA’s advisory council.

I hope that when Pres. Trump gets all his people confirmed, he takes an inventory of these traitors, and handles them accordingly...

Who told McRino to call anyone? Whomever is in charge of assigning offices should move him down to the smallest darkest basement office.

Simply put, if these refugees are so damn great why are they trying to dump them.
