I just love posters that accuse people of stereotyping and go around stereotyping.
 
It’s all fine with what Trump has done so far according to our alternative PM.
We need to “cut him some slack”

Actually interesting comment that.So what have you done on the ground in Australia other than sitting up in the cloud espousing views of what should be done?

It’s nuts

If it wasn’t so serious it would make a good comedy show.

I found out reading an article this morning that the main guy Australia is dealing with over steel and aluminium tariffs is another billionaire. It really is jaw dropping that a person could come to office saying he was going to get rid of Washington elites and replace them with a group of white male billionaires.

Yeh, and the trump supporters see no irony here. A good article on it.

Trump 2.0: the rise of an ‘anti-elite’ elite in US politics

Does Donald Trump’s second term herald “the end of corrupt elites” in Washington? Despite his populist campaign rhetoric, Trump is bringing an"anti-elite" elite into government.

For the US to be heading to more autocratic leadership is 1 thing, to hear what JD Vance's speech was all about in Munich yesterday is the next thing. Astounding even.

I dare you to watch Fox coverage of all this.

Their take is real men have taken over from pussies and are now leading the country. Men want to be them and women go weak at the knees and want to be wooed by the likes of Trump/Vance etc

That's why they highlight guys like Dana White/Joe Rogan and beefed up golfer BDC as supporters.

Yep, men have been downtrodden long enough, time to fight back!

Because they are white male billionaires.

Seriously, it’s hard to have a discussion with someone so clueless about what these things actually mean.

Sinner, i am disgusted that you would perpetuate the victimisation, bullying and discrimination that rich white men experience, which will only exacerbate and prolong their suffering.

Just because Goldie's ancestors, or possibly Goldie themselves, are from a country that chose to leave Czechoslovakia to join Nazi Germany doesn't mean that Goldie will also have Nazi leanings.

What does “on ground in Australia”

Are you asking for what I have done politically, financially supporting charities, volunteering, the work I have done in my career?

What is it you want to know and why? Are you going to to judge whether I should be allowed an opinion or not?

Corruption Perception Index, what does that even mean? USA perceives Trump is the best choice as President. I lay no credence on these silly rankings. It's like world's most liveable city, or the team of the century, it's all in the eye of the beholder.

I’d think of it more in terms of trends and percentiles. The absolute number itself would lend a view of precision that is easily argued.

If when the police stop you, you always need to pay a bribe or you are going to get throw in jail then that’s going to put you further down the list.

Do bureaucrats openly take facilitation payments to speed up your application etc etc.

Australia is relatively pretty good. I’m sure we can all point out places where it could be better too.

Plus, he’s doing a sterling job of convincing folks otherwise.
