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.”

But... wouldn’t these “unwanted” Syrians be possible “moderate” rebels that McCain had his photo taken with? Thereby continuing the ISIS recruitment program that obamaumao, lindsey and mccain worked together on— to run guns to them from Benghazi thru Turkey? sarcasm tag... full ON.

If Trump even allows “extreme” vetting, most of the aussie island “refugees” (who are entirely islamic and NOT families), we will find out who obamaumao was willing to dump in the US. The saga continues, and the rats are really worried, from loretta lynch and obamaumao on down. Just imagine what obamaumao’s days consist of now— dealing with the increasing broken networks and systems he was counting on to maintain his “legacy”.

That’s a bit illegal.

18 § 953. Private correspondence with foreign governments.

Any citizen of the United States, wherever he may be, who, without authority of the United States, directly or indirectly commences or carries on any correspondence or intercourse with any foreign government or any officer or agent thereof, with intent to influence the measures or conduct of any foreign government or of any officer or agent thereof, in relation to any disputes or controversies with the United States, or to defeat the measures of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both. This section shall not abridge the right of a citizen to apply himself, or his agent, to any foreign government, or the agents thereof, for redress of any injury which he may have sustained from such government or any of its agents or subjects.

History repeats itself once again, and the public is too stupid to recognize it.

Anyone remember the hell dumped onto us from Castro's Cuba? He emptied his jails, mental institutions, and back alleys of every criminal, drunkard, and lunatic. He sent them to America as Cuban refugees.

Remains to be seen if he can clean out all of the Cheap Labor Express operatives that have dominated the RNC for decades.

We have one president and one government. Where does McCain come off thinking to speak to a foreign government, to apologize or offer OUR support?!

And in this case, McCain is WRONG. Australia won't accept these illegals, why should we. No, send them home!

What a back stabber. With all his turncoat activities, it makes you wonder just what it was he gave up to the North Vietnamese while he was a POW. He can’t be trusted.

First person that came to my mind now that we've learned the raid that cost the life of a Navy Seal may have been compromised. He has the connections, does he have the motive?

We're also seeing increased violence in the Ukraine border area with Russian. Is this the result of his and Grahamey's recent visits???

How many now question President Trumps ability to spot frauds? When he called out McCain for being a phony boy was he ever right. McCain isn’t a war hero he is a backstabbing bribe taking traitor who is increasingly irrelevant.

It’s this kind of thing that convinces me that a McCain presidency would have destroyed the Republican Party.

This deal for Australia to take refugees and Obama to take them from Australia was just a run around to bring more refugees into the US.

The Australian PM should be ashamed of himself for participating in this kind of lying shell game with Obama.

Excellent!

I expect that was among the reasons that it was rolled out in the manner that it was.

Ain’t gettin’ in.

And I’m supposed to feel bad about myself because Australia refused them, but we can’t?

Don’t think so.
