he IS like that
his China stunt was a classic - we didn't have a problem until he opened his mouth


he's actually done that several times
it's a class act really.
I'm hoping that when we have a new government - who ever they are - as long as it's not these goofs - that they basically keep quiet on a lot of matters to do with other nations -
even when prompted by narcissistic journalists fishing for fame and clicks --
I'd actually like to see politicians responses start to sound like - 'sorry, we don't comment on matters of security' or 'we don't comment on matters do to with other nations' etc etc.
why the concept about not talking about others is so difficult for some to grasp - I don't know.
