@redzanti; re your comment which included " ... What would Trump do to Australia if we arrested Israelis on wanted lists for the ICC? Bomb us? ".
Former US President Trump does NOT have fond memories of his interactions with Australian political leaders. Except for Greg Norman, he knows next to nothing about Australia and has to my knowledge never even acknowledged our existence. To Trump all that matters is what he's attached to in America.
Last time round Trump was demonstrably annoyed / humiliated when he couldn't bully Malcolm Turnbull into backing down on the agreement between Australia and the USA for the re-settlement of asylum seekers. He harbors grudges and is openly candid about seeking revenge / vindictiveness.
So IMO and similar to what he did last time, a second Trump administration would:
1. Once again engineer the termination of Australian exports into China and replace them with US product: grains, timber, wine, beef, seafood, ... [ie. clobber farmers].
2. Increase the cost of visas for Australians visiting the USA, possibly even banning such or reducing time limits for stays in the USA.
3. Terminate AUKUS and the sale of US military products into Australia.
4. Greatly reduce the presence of US spy agencies and military personnel on Australian soil.
5. As he did last time, refuse to appoint a US Ambassador to Australia - thereby reducing Australia's status.
6. Squeal like a cut pig about US corporations operating in Australia from being pursued for their rampant tax minimisation /avoidance in Australia and appalling environmental records throughout Australia.
