What Australians should understand about Donald J Trump

By Graham Young - posted Tuesday, 30 January 2024


So where is the danger to our security?

If President Trump becomes the 47th president of the United States, and our national reflex is to accept the demonisation of him by his political enemies as true, then it becomes significantly more difficult to work with the United States, or to persuade domestic electorates of the real facts of the matter.

Yet with an actual war on the Black Sea and Eastern Mediterranean, skirmishes around the Horn of Africa, Iran on the verge of becoming a nuclear state, and a threatened invasion of Taiwan by the Chinese Communist Party as well as its increasing militarisation of the Indo-Pacific, this is a moment when we need to work with our allies, whoever they are.

That means doing our best to understand them. We don't need world leaders we'd like to ask home for dinner.
