What we should be talking about is getting someone like Donald Trump for ourselves who would:

. Dump the Paris Accord
. Build dams
. Remove all taxes and excises from diesel fuel to save transport, fishing, farms, mining, forestry
. Produce our own diesel from shale oil
. Cull public servants. Their number has reached 2.5 million
. Cut regulations and red tape
. Stop the nonsense of aboriginal land rights and aboriginal interference with development
. Cut all immigration other than that absolutely necessary for Australia’s benefit.

I think the more mature way to look at this is to examine policies and actual affects on the welfare of the US both domestically and internationally. Reaching for the fainting couch because Trump uses colourful language to respond to his domestic foes (who use much more colourful language to deride him) isn't what I'd call mature or a thoughtful way to approach issues of political leadership.

Personally, I look at policies and past performance to decide these issues.

For those who now cry over the various wars that the US has become embroiled in since 2021, it would be worth pondering that Trump was one of the few presidents in US history to NOT start or get embroiled in any new wars. Indeed he was extracting the US from some of its commitments and withdrawing troops back to the homeland. Before Trump was ousted, the Abraham accords were on track to resolving the so-called Palestinian issues. The economy was booming (pre-Covid) and th polling showed people to be much more satisfied with the direction of the country than the current abysmal numbers.

I guess this is why the Trump Derangement Syndrome crowd are much more interested in whining about Trump's language than what he's actually saying and promising.

The US is headed down a very dark path and it'll take a miracle to change that around. In the scheme of things, calling the domestic foe vermin is neither here nor there and concentrating on such things is immature in the extreme.

We lived and worked in the US for close to ten years.
We came back to Australia because we didn't like
what was happening in the country. We didn't want
that for our children. We were not wrong and we're
glad that we came back.

Thankfully, in this country, people who find Donald
Trump suited for the top job in the US and who approve of
his views, in this country are a minority.

" in this country, people who find Donald

But then most of them haven't got the faintest idea what his policies are and how favourable to Australia they would be. They only know what they've been fed here by the compliant media who regurgitate the anti-Trump US legacy media.

It seems to not occur to people and/or they are utterly unperturbed by it, that the alternative to Trump is for the US to be led by quite possibly the most corrupt and venal cabal in any democracy in the modern era.

And not just corrupt but openly and willingly selling out their country's best interests to the highest bidder.

Trump, or possibly DeSantis, truly is the last hope for the US and the ongoing survival our current way of life. And Australia has a bigger stake in this than most understand. We rely on freedom the oceans and a free and open world trading system. These are being fritted away as we look on and fret about Trump's language.

the Supreme Court Verdict on Trump.
http://www.msn.com/en-au/news/other/trump-celebrates-supreme-court-win-by-saying-it-was-his-duty-to-investigate-2020-results/ar-AA1lVbUn?ocid=msedgdhp&pc=U531&cvid=265975a990ac4808a19655480995a708&ei=15

"The Supreme Court has unanimously rejected Jack Smith’s desperate attempt to short circuit our Great Constitution," Trump wrote on his social media network, Truth Social. "Crooked Joe Biden and his henchmen waited three years to bring this sham case, and now they have tried and failed to rush this Witch Hunt through the courts."
