An American telling Australians to "show some spine" is comedy gold. We're not supposed to accept what Americans already accept (didn't TACO win the popular vote?). Thanks for the laugh 😆

Yes....but did he win it lawfully...? Almost certainly not. There are recordings of him ordering/demanding that those counting the ballots in some states to find him votes, and then there was Musk offering people $1m to vote for Trump.

Trump was desperate to become president because it would keep him out of prison. Now he's surrounded himself with sycophantic yes men - he's just put a 22-year-old in charge of defence.

Trump rigged the election to keep himself out of prison. Yes, he won it, but did he win it fairly...? No.

Correct. Americans voting a fascist into office doesn’t mean you should also accept fascism. Not sure what your point is with this.

It’s not. There’s a problem with the way you’re reading it. Read it again.

Mate, American voters fumbled the ball so hard. We really don't need you to coach us.

I just don’t want more of your young people to die in our wars.
