I don’t think it’ll be long before KRudd becomes persona non grata in the US and forced out of his role as our ambassador to the US. He shouldn’t have gotten the job in the first place. Having said that, I’d have been more impressed by him if he hadn’t deleted those social media posts critical of Trump and instead stood by his comments. Shows how shallow and lacking in a spine he is!
I'd bet Rudd will have his bags packed.
I'd also bet that Albanese and his senior ministers will be pissed off about his coming back as well!
He'll be meddling in government affairs over here, undermining the Albanese government, in the belief that he can make a comeback as the leader of the Labor Party and get another shot at being prime minister.
Maybe Albanese will pack the c~nt off to the UK or somewhere in Europe as Australia's High Commissioner/Ambassador.
Anywhere to keep the c~nt out of Australia.
Perhaps more worrying, KRudd deleted his previous comments about Trump, erasing the historic record.
Harmless remarks about Trump being a danger to democracy - something every Western leader has expressed at one point or another. Most of Trump's cabinet have publicly said worse. His own Joint Chiefs of Staff Chair calls him a dangerous fascist.
Other remarks include:
- totally unfit for office
- embarrassingly stupid
- dumb as a rock
- criminally dead to rights
- an out and out felon
- a deranged lunatic
- a traitor to the American people
These are fairly banal descriptions too, until you know who said them: the most sober - and loyal - military men in America.
This time, he'll probably ditch the generals. He'll be picking absolute bottom feeders. We're talking third rate lawyers like Alina Habba as Attorney General.
If I was Rudd, I'd be asking for a transfer. The culture of Washington during the first Trump administration was so toxic, it's impossible to envisage how bad the second one will be.
Rudd should ask for Venezuela.
