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.” Hows that working out for you America? You voted for him!

So where is teh self elected President of Venezuela now they desperatley need help? The orange clown stole thier oil, but hasnt rushed in to help "his" people. What a dickhead!

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!

How dare her!! 🧐🤨 "When people like Kamala Harris send our sons and daughters, our young people, to fight in stupid wars, it is the young generation that carries the burden of that. We're gonna stop sending our young people to far away lands. We are not the policemen of the world."

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!!

Trump says Iran should never have a nuclear weapon. Why is it that the USA can have them, Russia can have them and India? If one cant have them, all shouldnt have them. Trump - the campaigner of "No wars" just started yet another one.

So much for “President of Peace.” 0nce touted as the man who would end endless wars, Trump announced the start of “major combat operations” against Iran. The world is watching real bombs fall while political promises of “no new wars” echo hollow.History won’t be kind if we shrug.

USA Regime change - Fails Iran (1953) – Ultimately Unsuccessful, Guatemala (1954) – Unsuccessful, Chile (1973) – Mixed but Damaging, Iraq (2003) – Largely Unsuccessful, Afghanistan (2001–2021) – Unsuccessful. Well done USA....you aint very good at this! Maybe stick to your own countries issues!

1/2🧵 👀 Still on Tiktok? Since Larry Ellison, ally of Trump, got his hands on the algorithms, guess what? Many users have been unable to send the word "Epstein" in DMs Lefty political posts poof...not recommended! ICE posts in mod jail... #TikTokCensorship 🧾 is.gd/9aRB5S Earlier: is.gd/IJMgwU ⬇️⬇️

npr.orgTikTok is investigating why some users can't write 'Epstein' in messagesThe issue around the word "Epstein" comes as users experience outages and functionality problems since the popular video app was recently sold to a group of mostly U.S. investors, including Trump ally...

From Australia, watching US politics feels grim. As food prices rise and the US fades as a trusted ally, it looks like politicians aren’t listening to their constituents at all. Instead, they seem content to carry out the will of President Miller and his aide, Trump—people be damned.

The most important words from the Founding Fathers in the Declaration of Independence! People Power will triumph over the Orange One and Nazi Miller!

Stephen Miller is the architect of ALL of this Nazi ideology. He convinced Dumbass Donnie that he could take over America by force. It was Miller who pardoned 1600 J6 goons, Miller who declared lethal action is warranted. He created the mechanization that murdered Good and Pretti.

From Australia to Minnesota — We stand for peace, justice, and an end to deadly force. Across the world we are watching and we are calling for transparency, accountability and de-escalation after multiple deaths and protests in the city. USA - You were better than this before Trump!

The world is finally listening and concludes we dont need the USA..at least not under Trump....we all want safety and solid democracy, we all want to have a world for our children thats right and just, thats not morally bankrupt. The USA right now, leaves a really bad taste in your mouth.

The pay to play Board of Peace is actually just a front for Jared Kushner and Trump Jr to build exclusive developments in Gaza at the expense of Palastinians and one of yet another Trump rips offs. So many countries are not joining the board....the USA is fast losing its world relevance under Trump!

USA has gone backwards to acowboy era, guns, lawlessness & ICE masked up killing Americans. Tough guys preying on 5 year olds scurrying like cockroaches after killing an ICU nurse. The world watch's, we are sickened by you. One mans responsible, get rid of him and you might have a chance.

The USA's Commander in Chief, a draft dodger & one who never saw military service tells the world that "USA never needed the allies in Afghanistan" & "the non US soldiers fought back a little behind the USA". My country came to your aid after 9/11. I lost friends who fought for you. How Insulting!

Im sure Prime Minister Carney isnt concerned and probably dosnt want to join the so called board of piss..i mean peace. Just look at who is on it and it has no ratification or international standing...another failed initiative of King Trump.

Hahaha. Canada, we love you. Honestly, not being invited is a badge of honor. Wear it proudly.

Trump has increased his wealth by selling Bibles & phones(yet to be delivered to customers) and launching cryptocurrency. His shady deals also see him profit. There is no way such wealth could be accumalted legally while being a president. He should be investigated, and it should start NOW!!

The president is now demanding the investigation of a member of Congress for “Political Crimes”

When Nixon betrayed the people of the USA, the media investigated, the people rose up and demanded the truth. Now in this social media age, where truth is measured by total number of clicks and followers, the USA dosnt seem to have the motivation to rise up again and stop the orange clown.Shame USA!

So its not ok for Iran to shoot protesters, but its perfectly justified for ICE to shoot protesters! I wonder if the Orange clown knows the word "irony"?
