Does it surprise anyone that President Trump would berate and hang up on an ally like Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull?
Of course it doesn't.
It's not like Trump has an abundance of friends. You would think Trump would want to cultivate an Anglo ally as he has with British Prime Minister Theresa May. Like May, Turnbull is a conservative (unless Trump let the Liberal Party banner fool him).
Now I'm well aware what a prick President Obama was to Benjamin Netanyahu. But with an ally like Trump who needs enemies? His ego is so monumental that even the mildest of disagreements become international crises and to quote The Carpenters we've only just begun. If this is how things are not even two weeks in I shudder to imagine what things will be like in two months.
