"Why should Canadians trust Americans who have twice elected someone they consider a venal, dangerous buffoon? They could excuse them for being 'tricked' the first time. But electing him again, by a bigger margin the second time, tells them all they need to know." — @brynntannehill.bsky.social

Probably a combination of a poor education system and constant propaganda. After all, they're the only people who refer to their president as "leader of the free world". 🙄
The good news is that it looks like Australia is making friends with some smart, respectful, and forward-thinking countries.

As a non American, the question i ask Americans is, given its only you that vote for the President, how is it that I in Australia have to put up with your Presidents decisions? Since when did the USA govern the entire world? And why dont i get a democratic vote if you continue to foist him upon me?

Since Trump launched strikes on Iran with Israel in February, Aussie petrol is up 66c a litre and diesel up $1.10 (ACCC). Brent crude is still above US$100. The IMF has cut world growth to 3%, blaming the war's energy shock. Add his tariffs on top. The rest of the world is paying for his choices.

US Treasury data now reveals the White House owes the world $40,047,425,768,420. 10 years ago, Trump promised he would pay off the national debt within just eight years.“We’ve got to get rid of the $19 trillion in debt … Fairly quickly.”

The Reserve bank of Australia, 12900Kms from Iran, has just risen the interest rate for mortagees yet again, this time as a direct result of Donald Trumps war in Iran. So His decision to go to war, escalates the cost of housing here in Oz. Gee, thanks Orange Clown!

The term "86" (or 86'd) originated in 1930s American restaurant/soda-counter slang to mean a menu item was out of stock, or to "nix" (refuse service to) a customer. Rhyming slang for "nix,". Long stretch to mean kill, as Trump would have you believe.

Trump & Netanyahu's war, trickled down to Australia. Glass windows & frames cant be shipped & that now is effecting both business & builders, which then in turn affects consumers. And yet still no nuclear warhead evidence after 30 plus years of Isreal claiming Iran was weeks away from having one.

9,200 miles away in Australia & we’re still paying the price. Fuel up, groceries up, markets rattled, super balances smashed all while the US President plays geopolitical roulette with Iran alongside Israel. Thanks, America. Once a steady ally now looking reckless, unstable, and hard to trust.

WOW- He couldnt be further from Jesus, who wasnt a pedo, corrupt self obsessed narcissist. What a joke Americans unleased on the world. Thanks America...good job yeah? Will you now apologise and learn, never ever do this again? The world would like you again if you did!

Trumps people say his "art of the deal" in Iran ceasefire is a "masterstroke". Aussies say the only thing being stroked is Trumps P....S.

In Australia we have a term "dickhead". Its usually reserved for someone stupid. Trump said that Japan didnt help with the Iran war. Japan cannot legally wage offensive war due to Article 9 of its postwar constitution, which renounces the use of force to settle international disputes. Dickhead!

This is an actual post. This is not funny. This is beyond desperate. This is a deeply unwell man who doesn’t belong anywhere near the levers of power. Every member of his cabinet and Congress is complicit in not demanding his removal now.

Sorry to all those in the USA, but your so called leader berates NATO, ridicules other nations and says he will pull the USA out of NATO. Thats fine....when you need the rest of the world, oh wait...i forgot, you are the most superior nation on earth that dosnt need anyone...except Putin!

Trump & Netanyahu escalate tensions around Iran, disrupting the Strait of Hormuz a critical global oil route. The U.S. says it’s not heavily reliant… while the rest of the world deals with the fallout. Allies not consulted, then: “you’re on your own, get your own oil!"
What a shit President!

As an Australian who served in the military, im sickened by Trump stating that Australia hasnt assisted in HIS war. We have sent radar planes to assist and we havnt recieved any other request from the USA. You started this war Trump, you fix it.

The irony is thick: After spending years undermining the "team" spirit of NATO, the administration is finding that when you start a fire without consulting the neighbors, they aren't always eager to help hold the hose.
Trump mocked NATO, now he wants them to help him in HIS war..start it..finish it!

The Draft Dodger in Chief, and 5 generations of Trumps before him never ever served in a war. The simply got out of it. So the guy that didnt want to start wars, didnt fight in wars, started one for the rest of the world to deal with the fallout and rising costs. Gee, thanks oh orange one!

Mark Carney in Australia talking positive of the strengthened partnership and how USA wanted to go isolationist, so the world realigns and new alliances are formed. With trust and reliability. Now if we could only stop the orange clown from starting wars!!
