MALCOLM Turnbull thought he could outsmart Donald Trump and trap him into taking 1250 of our boat people.
Huge mistake, and now hes been humiliated.
There is no surprise that an angry Trump attacked Turnbull in their call at the weekend and hung up halfway through, after just 25 minutes.
What did Turnbull expect?
This political disaster was always on the cards from the moment Turnbull announced, on November 13 last year, that hed signed a deal with then US president Barack Obama to take our boat people detained on Nauru and Manus Island.
That was very dumb because just five days earlier Trump had been unexpectedly elected the next president, having campaigned hard against exactly this kind of thing.
Trump had made it perfectly clear that he was against taking in alleged refugees from jihadist countries without at least extreme vetting. Turnbull knew this. In fact, hed planned to announce his Obama arrangement early this year, but after Trumps win rushed it forward in an apparent attempt to present Trump with a fait accompli a done-deal the new President would not dare undo.
Trump had no choice but to back off. The Post had reported him accusing Turnbull of wanting to send him more Boston bombers, and he could hardly now tell the American voters he was happy to take them.
So Trump instead tweeted: Do you believe it? The Obama Administration agreed to take thousands of illegal immigrants from Australia. Why? I will study this dumb deal!
Turnbull has a very nervous wait now to see if his boat people solution will survive. Hes also learned a very hard lesson: dont try messing with Trump.

He ought to be more nervous about the America-first crowd now deciding to put all things Australian on their boycott list.
I learned it in Illinois - downstate it’s ‘jack’ in Chicago, ‘jag.’
In the ‘burgh we say jagoff.
Why can’t the boat people be put on our island if we have to take them ! Isn’t there a South Pacific island that is sparsely populated
Those phones go through state department so a translator can translate and relay message. Obviously they could also listen in to an English - English conversation
Yesterday Levin was trashing Free Republic and called it all the names in the world. Makes me sick...
I may have misunderstood...I thought it was earlier in the year before the election with the PM expecting Hillary to win....so sorry if I got the details wrong.
I don’t care about the cocking around. I just want to be double sure we to take Australian “refugees/ Isis” into our country. NO WAY!!
Excuse me. That WE DON”T TAKE AUSTRALIAN PROBLEMS OVER HERE!!! WE HAVE OUR OWN PROBLEMS!!!
Them dagos can definitely swing a bat.
freepers can google the headline and then click the search results to bypass the paywall:
Social media is going to be censored and they are going to go after sites such as Drudge and Brietbart, if the “Ministry of Truth” is set up - this was slipped into the National Defense Authorization Act and Obama quietly signed it into law during the Christmas Holiday season in 2016. All to fight so called FAKE news and block Russia from impacting the elections. It’s LA LA land.
“
Like the comedian said, “You might be living in a country founded by geniuses being run by idiots” if:
1. freedom of speech is judged by a ministry of truth
2.freedom of speech is canceled due to riots while Police watch.
3. a light bulb has to be replaced by one containing mercury
This list could get to be pretty long - feel free to chime in.
+100
Who’s “they”?
I can’t imagine Trump and congress have no power over this now that obummer is out.
Is that wrong?
True, but correction; it is "dem dagos" this accurate pronunciation comes from my now dead 'Uncle Frangi' the union muscle, born in Sicily, who knocked me out, cold, for saying the word 'dago' at his daughter's Wedding.
Regardless of the fact that my Grandmother and Grandfather came from Sicily, and if you look at me and my "grand" Roman nose, I'm either a dago or a Jew {I have passed, for a short time, when I dated a Jewish American Princess in my yute}.
Turnbull just learned not $crew with our Alpha Male, Trump!
What happens when a light weight messes with The Alpha Bull?
Warning very graphic as the Matador is gored and killed.

“Yesterday Levin was trashing Free Republic and called it all the names in the world. Makes me sick...”
Best good news of the day. Keep it up Levin!
My dad was based in the Aleutian Islands during WW2. He was a dentist & entered the army as a Captain.
Mark, Educate yourself before tonight’s program. The U.S. is bound to honor only foreign agreements that have been ratified as treaties by 2/3 of U.S. Senators. That’s according to our Constitution and basic U.S law for over 200 years.
Turnbull humiliated for thinking he could outsmart Donald Trump, Andrew Bolt writes
If you want these boat people so badly, I encourage all refugees & illegal aliens from Australia to go to Jupiter Island, Florida & set up camp in front of Mark Levin house.
