This has reached the point of absurdity:
Australia’s ambassador to the United States, Kevin Rudd, has scrubbed comments critical of incoming president Donald Trump from his online record, as the Albanese government rushes to avoid offending the nation’s most important security partner.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has insisted that Rudd will remain as Australia’s top diplomat in Washington even though he previously excoriated Trump as “the most destructive president in history” and described him as a “traitor to the West”.
The Trump camp explicitly sent out a representative to politely tell Australia to replace “Dr” Rudd:
Mr Trump’s daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, said last week that Dr Rudd’s past comments about the former president were “nasty” and “maybe we want to choose somebody else”.
As usual, the Albanese government is happy putting the interests of its mates ahead of the nation.
Ditto for “Dr” Rudd, whose comments on Trump were admirable, and his backflip from them to protect his job over the national interest is not.
This is more evidence that “Dr” Rudd is almost as toxic a narcissist as Donald Trump, and the planet is not big enough for both of them.
We should shoot Rudd into outer space before NASA does it.
