'The worst call by far': Donald Trump badgers, brags in Malcolm Turnbull call

Somerville said:
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

And who is providing the transcripts of these conversations? This is beginning more and more to smell like fake news.

I love when Trump fans misuse words and catchphrases. It's so amusingly consistent of them.

The proof has to come from the news organization posting the story

If they cannot name the "senior US officials" or obtain confirmation from the Aussies then it is a lie till they do prove it
 
I forget...is it Australia or New Zealand that bans refugees for life for coming to their shores illegally?

Instead of fake news do you prefer liberal journalism lie?

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.
 
More trumpistani deflections from the OP from alt-right posters .

Turnbull is a wise and humble man. To weather the "Trump storm", and speak so eloquently, without retribution, is truly a trait of a remarkable gentleman.

I'm sure the conservative leader of the U.K. is squirming right now .

How were we helping Australia in this scenario? Most of those terrorist sympathizers were from nations as part of the travel ban. Why would we take them just because they were being routed through Australian territory? That makes no sense.

Thank you for admitting it was a travel ban.

No thanks for your blatant irrational lie that all the refugees were terrorist sympathizers .

I'm not a "Trumpistani," and I'm also not "alt.right." WaPo says Trump hung up on Turnbull; Turnbull has said nothing. So nobody knows the facts. Heaven forbid that someone should dare to question an unsubstantiated claim.

According to white supremacist BANNON, the press should just shut up.

Censorship isn't far away .

What ARE you talking about. I've never denied it was a travel ban. You're in full meltdown mode. Please calm down.

Please stop calling ALL refugees terrorist sympathizers. It's a blatant irrational lie. As is accusing a non-trump person calling out his disastrous presidency being in full meltdown mode as part of the Bannon censorship .
 
Only Caligula hangs up on a formal mutual defense treaty ally.

Immigration and border security are part of national security so in a globalized world formal treaty allies work together to support one another and to coordinate national security policy.

Trump The Ignoramus has no clue. While kicking China's ass is good, kicking Australia's ass is worse than bad -- it is horrendous. (We begin to see more precisely how Trump thinks when he says Nato is bad.)

Trump takes a cooing and smoochy-poo phone call from Putin while hanging up on a formal defense treaty ally Australia which is a couple of clicks down the way from CCP Dictator-Tyrants in Beijing and that shares the South China Sea.

While Gen. MacArthur was the American Caesar Donald Trump is the American Caligula. Trump has already named his horse's ass as chief consul (see signature).

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.

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.

Wow. You people are so twisted up in your defense of Dear Leader that you are ready to blame Trump looking like an ass on Trump.
You're almost there. A few more weeks and you'll wake up.

Do you approve of the press or anybody else reporting that Trump threatened Nieto when Nieto says he didn't?

Do you approve of the press reporting that Trump hung up on Turnbull when he almost certainly did not?

Do Trump-haters really have so little honor or interest in the truth or fair play?

I'm saying you're in full meltdown mode because you're ascribing positions to me that I've never held. I'm saying you're in full meltdown mode because every other post seems to mention "Bannon".
