“I’ll take Trump over Albanese any day”

Sky News host Caroline Marcus on Sky News’ The Late Debate welcomes Donald Trump and Elon Musk to ‘take over Australia.’

The question before Australia is whether we want President-elect and convicted felon Donald Trump and Elon Musk to interfere in Australia’s federal election.

“I would take Trump over Albanese any day. 

“I do hate this idea that we are somehow poorer in Australia because of our gun laws … the fact we have far less shootings here makes us a better place,” Ms Marcus said.

This presents very dangerous territory for Australia as Sky News hosts now encourage Trump to ‘come on down under.’ The employer of these Sky News hosts is Rupert Murdoch.

As the United States is an allied nation (ANZUS) and has military bases and also operates Pine Gap as part of the “Five Eyes” network, Australia needs to seriously think about our own future.

These are turbulent times for the entire world, not seen since the Cold War.

Serious questions remain. How will Australia’s diplomats and politicians deal with Donald Trump?

Are Australians aware that when President-elect and convicted felon Donald Trump becomes President of the United States, he is also the Commander In Chief of the US Armed Forces?

This means Trump is in charge of Pine Gap in Australia from the moment he takes office on January 20 and all US troops based in Australia will soon be under his command.

Sure, Prime Minister Albanese has said that our foreign interference laws prevent this. Whilst Prime Minister Albanese has told Elon Musk to keep his distance, serious questions remain.

How does Musk keep his distance from Australia’s upcoming federal election when Telstra is now contracting to the Elon Musk-owned StarLink satellite system?

“We have foreign interference laws in this country and Australian elections are a matter for Australians.

“I have no intention of being a … commentator on what people overseas want to engage in,” Mr Albanese said.

Australia needs to seriously think about where we are going and how our nation will deal with President-elect and convicted felon Donald Trump.
