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.”

Been thinking the same thing, but the “Maverick” loves being the maverick in the R Party.

Makes him more special.

“Special needs”, I’d say.

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

It was as far as McTraitior could take it LEGALLY. If he called the PM he would be facing censure. It also tells us he gets his news from the WAPOS. This treasonous prick will have to be dealt with as soon Trump gets his cabinet.

From what I understand, they (Australians) keep them in some offshore detention center. If McCain wants them here so bad, he should volunteer to sponsor them on his own property, IMHO.

Trump needs to have a little sit-down with McCain and put an end to this crap.

Facing censure? FWIW, I don’t think that was ever a concern.

Mattis needs to sit McCain down and explain to him why he is a fake hero, and was a failure as a military officer.
