Aussie Patriots At Sky News Nearly Destroy Our Diplomatic Ties With America For A Brainrot Soundbite

As reports of ‘Kevin Rudd gets a dressing down from Donald Trump’ dominate the news cycle, few people have questioned why a Sky news reporter thought it would be appropriate to bring up Rudd’s old tweets about the US president during a press conference, following a $8.5 billion minerals deal between Australia and the US on Monday.

For no other reason than to clearly stir up trouble, Sky News editor Andrew Clemmel enquired how Trump felt about what the ‘Australian ambassador’ had said about him in the past, referring to a deleted tweet from 2020, where Rudd had called Trump the most ‘destructive US president’, ‘a village idiot’ and a ‘traitor to the west.’

These comments were made before Rudd was appointed Australian ambassador to the US.

Trump’s very own vice president JD Vance has made similar comments about the president, once referring to him as “an idiot”, “reprehensible” and “America’s Hitler.

As the one of the sharpest burrs under the saddle of Rupert Murdoch, Rudd has faced the full force of his wrath over the years as Murdoch makes sure to to sic one of his hell hounds on him at any given opportunity.

This comes as Rudd became Murdoch’s number one enemy when he tried to introduce NBN in 2009 , which would have put Murdoch owned businesses such as Telstra and Foxtel out of business,

In 2023, Rudd called for a Murdoch Media Commission of Inquiry in Australia to investigate media diversity and the conduct of media outlets –  particularly News Corp.

Ironically enough, the billion dollar mineral deal made yesterday pales in comparison to the money Australia would have received if Rudd’s proposed mining tax had won in 2010, which would have resulted in Australia having a sovereign wealth fund proportional to its natural resources.

That was however, quickly abolished, as fossil fuel lobbies spent billions advertising through News Corp to get tax thrown out and Rudd replaced as Prime Minister.

More to come.
