What Australians should understand about Donald J Trump

And the Hunter Biden laptop led to the impeachment over the call to Mr. Zelenskyy as its contents prove beyond doubt that President Biden was so enmeshed in corruption that he was the one who should have been impeached.

Australia is a country where a state premier can lose her job for turning a blind eye to her lover's dodgy business practices. Using $1 billion of foreign aid to pull the investigators off your son's corruption would see you out the door via catapult here.

The Democrat drumbeat is so strong that in the run-up to the mid-term US elections, we had Australia's Prime Minister Anthony Albanese swaying along, and singing a Democrat tune that "Democracy was on the ballot paper."

This is a line that parses as, "If the Republicans win, we will become a dictatorship."

It was completely bonkers, as shown by the proper conduct of the Republicans after the last election, yet our prime minister was prepared to damage relations with the next majority administration in Congress just on "the vibe."

Some facts on what Trump has done

So here's what Australians need to understand about Donald Trump-he's outspoken, but he implements his policies, and by and large those policies are good ones.

That's not just my opinion, but that of an increasing number of Americans.

Take the head of JP Morgan, Jamie Dimon, hardly the friendliest of referees:

"He's kind of right about NATO. Kind of right about immigration. He grew the economy quite well … Tax reform worked. He was right about some of China … he wasn't wrong about some of these critical issues."

And the money quote is:

"Democrats have done a pretty good job with the "deplorables," hugging their bibles and their beer and their guns. I mean, really? Can we stop that stuff and actually grow up and treat other people respectfully and listen to them a little bit?"

Which is what we Australians need to do as well. President Trump's success is a revolt against elite internationalist opinion which eschews middle-class mores and morality, and the high-handed way these elites demean the middle and lower classes.
