Oddly I happen to be traveling on business in Australia. I am currently in Sydney. In my wildest dreams I didn't think Trump would infringe on my time in Australia. How naive I was.

I was sitting in a great little Italian cafe in Kirribilli last night. The Trump call was all everyone was talking about. Words like "crazy" "stupid" "dangerous" were frequent.

Side note: nobody told me about the huge ass bats in Sydney. There are huge bats here. Like carry your baby away big.

I stand by our Australian allies, except when it comes to vegimite.

Is it wrong I'm hoping this turns into Trump getting "the boot" ala Bart Vs Australia?

Still think the 'shock to the system' candidate was a good idea?

These are the most stunning of Trumps acts. Why is he most hostile to the countries that are friendliest to the US?

The only outcome can be a gradually growing worldwide dislike and distrust of the US. Doesn't seem like a good plan.
