Dutton was not backward in coming face first into Chinese President Xi Jinping when he suggested Aus should prepare for War With China. he, like Trump, cared not for the consequences of his words. probably didn't think anybody would take him seriously as he cried out the Sky is Falling. Now we have Trump getting started on China and the latter is fighting back. my guess is that China will win a tariff war. Xi doesn't give a damn. he'll up Trump like a good gambler ready to squeeze his victim dry of cash. he's no fool for Trump's self-adoration and narcissism. but we have to look for a bit through Xi's views, if we can. he sees Trump as a smug gits. a jerk with a massive ego, but one whose sharp enough to arrange things to happen. if you know what I mean. Xi doesn't fear Trump. now switch focus to Trump's view..... oh crikey that beyond the limits of my capacity for empathy. I can see through the eyes of a psychopath, a murderer, a woman in ht street or a wino in the park..... but I just cannot imagine Trump's squirming brain. can you? my point is Xi will equate Aus, Dutton, with US, Trump, if we get cosy with Trump beliefs and policies. would this make us a target for Xi's tariffs? what would this do to our economy.?

One can only quote Shakespeare when it comes to Trump - 'Hark! Something this way evil comes.' And he will change the world like 911 changed every everyone's lives. And then to Macbeth and the ultimate death of kings and despots. From a poetic and historical perspective Trump's days are already numbered by his own avarice and propensity to make enemies at every level of society and politics.
