Overnight US President Donald Trump has told Kevin Rudd that “He doesn’t like him, and probably never will.”
It is certainly a view of Rudd that most Australians agree with. One Nation has long called for Kevin Rudd’s recall from America. In fact, we’ve been calling for his recall from day one.
Kevin Rudd doesn’t have the temperament or the talent to manage Australia–U.S. relations. His loose tongue has offended the very people who now hold the levers of power in Washington.
The disastrous U.S. trip by Anthony Albanese has exposed the problem: President Trump doesn’t like Kevin Rudd, and who could blame him?
Rudd is a loose-tongued fool, a self-important dunce with zero diplomatic skill and no ability to negotiate with the world’s leading superpower.
His record as Prime Minister was a string of failures, and now he risks doing the same damage to one of our most important international relationships.
When in 2008 Prime Minister Rudd travelled to China and, in the host nation’s own language, delivered a lecture at Beijing University attacking China’s human rights record, he blew up our relationship with Beijing. That single undiplomatic, poorly timed speech triggered a two-decade decline in Australia–China relations.
It showed exactly what Rudd has always been, a man who thinks he’s far cleverer than he really is. The fact that Rudd remains in his post as U.S. Ambassador is proof of Anthony Albanese’s absolute inability to get anything right.
While Trump was making it clear he didn’t trust or respect Rudd, Albanese was standing there grinning like a nervous schoolboy.
Trump’s face was steely; he was dead serious. Australia cannot maintain a strong relationship with the United States while this twerp, Kevin Rudd, continues in office.
If One Nation were in charge, Rudd would be sacked immediately. We’d appoint a capable, respected Ambassador to rebuild trust and lead the U.S.–Australia partnership with dignity.
We’d also review the bloated staffing and perks Albanese handed Rudd as a former Prime Minister, a disgraceful use of public money for a man who delivers nothing but chaos and embarrassment.
It’s time to recall Kevin Rudd and restore some credibility to Australia’s diplomacy.
Trump forgives but never forgets…..
Love him or hate him at least he but the people who voted him in first with his own country …
Unlike Albo….he’s sell his soul like sold out Australia to reward terrorism by Hamas by recognising Palestine in statehood with his mate Tony Burke, who will compromise AUS national security and safety for votes alone…..look at the voilent beliefs pushed by the Protester some wearing those tea towel of their homeland in the 3rd world!
Aid by some young wayward university students with impressable minds and easliy swayed…..
Rudd is not the right man for the job he is not a diplomat never was. That said he has done a good job to get the Minerals agreement across the line. Did Australia just fall into this or was it planned?
