I've yet to see where its been proven that Trump actually did this. So....what evidence?
The only point I've made in this thread is that Trump's hanging up on Turnbull has not been verified. Exploit somebody else's posts please to bang your partisan drum.
Stop. Please. This is indefensible. Please don't try to "handle" it. Seriously, right, left or in between, this is a truly serious matter, one of global importance. A United States president cannot simply blackmail/coerce the leaders of allied countries and then hang up on them because they are trying to be a bully. This isn't a negotiation merger for profit. This is a national policy statement against a long-term ally of the US.
Please, look at the reality of what is going on, and the catastrophic ramifications it may have. This isn't a republican vs liberal thing. This is an American survival thing.
Well, in my worst nightmares I never believed that any president of the US, even Trump, would talk to the leaders of other nations as if they were his subordinates, and inferior ones at that. This literally is terrible.
\From what I have read the event was caused by the Omama commitment and Trump's saying he would cancel the agreement.
There can be no question that hanging up on one of our most dependable allies is at best rude beyond belief. Whether it was appropriate or not, is hard to say without knowing what was said how. I have not seen a transcript or even a source that seems reliable. Maybe you have one?
Been to the real thing while I lived on W 22nd St and also visited the Arch in St. Louis which I'd expect you've gone up onto the top deck to view...a nothingness of flat land called yep, Kansas.
Of course Ellis Island was all about those white folk from Europe. Different today eh.

No, Trump was rude beyond belief. Australian troops are fighting and dying with Americans across the globe, particularly in Iraq. and Trump slams the phone down on one of our staunchest allies?? Is he out of his ****ing mind? He is completely dismissing countries that have supported us with their voices and their blood for decades. And the American people are supposed to say, "okay, Trump says too bad, so sad" and ignore this egregious dishonesty? My god, is he trying to make America into a lying, isolationist, nationalistic and fascist piece of crap??
This is not America. It's not legal, it's not constitutional and it's not what the majority of Americans want.
President Donald Trump 'slammed Malcolm Turnbull over refugee deal, accused him of trying to "ship the next Boston bombers" to the U.S. then HUNG UP on their hour-long call after just 25 minutes'

Easily provoked person in the Oval Office hung up on Australia's Prime Minister half way thru a planned hour long call
I wonder if the stress is already getting the guy. Combine this behaviour with what he said this past Friday during a call with Mexico's President, during which he seems to have threatened to invade Mexico.
Little wonder the developed nations are beginning to wonder about stability in the world

Our Charlie Chaplin president.
Being overweight with small hands and a bad haircut will make one get all pouty and throw temperature tantrums.
Chaplin was a great actor... a great director ....and a giant in the development of the motion picture as an art and business form. Comparing the sick and damaged egomaniac Trump to Chaplin does the Little Tramp a major disservice.
I thought it obvious that the comparison is to Trump as Charlie Chaplin would have played him.

i fear you are right....I fully expect Trump to be an image of Caligula, insane, paranoid, clutching onto power, distrusting those close to him, by the time this is all said and done.
I forget...is it Australia or New Zealand that bans refugees for life for coming to their shores illegally?
So we hear this from somebody who heard it from somebody who heard it from somebody who heard it from Trump.My colleague Greg Miller and I heard about this conversation from senior US officials who have been briefed on some of the exact quotations from the conversation, and shared that information with us.

According to the President of Mexico, the supposed bragging threatening Trump etc. did not do that. He categorically denies that Trump threatened him in any way. And that really REALLY does not sound like Trump.

Didn't stop the AP from pushing it as a story anyway. These people have no shame.
I just had a scathingly interesting thought. I have wondered who would be leaking this stuff to the press. Maybe it is the Trump team doing it to sort of, you know, encourage the MSM to make even bigger fools of themselves? Trump knows by now that they won't do any advance checking to determine whether it is fake or real. If it looks like it could hurt him, they print it.
Naw. . .
He wouldn't.
Would he?
I wonder.
But I would be so tickled to find out that was the case.
Just like every woman who denies that her husband beats her is lying to avoid further abuse.Of course he did, what world leader would admit that the president of the most powerful country on earth talked to them like that.
