Do you believe it? The Obama Administration agreed to take thousands of illegal immigrants from Australia. Why? I will study this dumb deal!

Background:

Cheetolini was just supposed to call one of our bedrock allies. Instead he berates, insults then hangs up early after a blow up over a small number of refugees, 1250, we had agreed to take from Australian refugee camps as a solid for all the things they have done for us (such as follow us into a bunch of our stupid wars.)

DC is freaking out.

Managed to also get in some election bragging between the insults, because of course he did.

In a Saturday phone call with Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, Trump lambasted an agreement between the two countries over refugee resettlement and bragged about the size of his Electoral College victory, as well as the fact that he had held several calls with other world leaders that same day, The Washington Post reports.

“This was the worst call by far,” Trump allegedly told Turnbull during their conversation, according to senior U.S. officials briefed on the phone call. Trump also spoke with Shinzo Abe of Japan, Angela Merkel of Germany, François Hollande of France and Vladimir Putin of Russia that day.

Holy shit he is dumb! You'd think at the very least he would have studied the deal first before making his comment!

Honestly, Malcolm Turnbull is a spineless idiot and no better than Trump - we're just lucky he isn't a pathological liar. This is what he gets for sucking up to Trump.

Also worthy of note: this was initially A-OK with Trump, but when he realised Obama had something to do with this -- this is how he reacted to it.

"From the time of the arrival of the first members of the Team in 1962 almost 60,000 Australians, including ground troops and air force and navy personnel, served in Vietnam; 521 died as a result of the war and over 3,000 were wounded."

42 have died in Afghanistan.


So yeah, complain to them about dumb deals with Americans....

We don't want the economic migrants that attempted to enter Australia illegally any more than Australia or 50+ moslem countries do. Thanks President Trump!
