Peter Hartcher Donald Trump insults - 01

Peter Hartcher writes a sharp and incisive piece on why the relentless beat-up on Kevin Rudd by the #MSM
and the likes of Duplicity Dutton is pure folly. In a world where Trump has turned being insulted into a qualification for friendship, the idea that Rudd's past criticisms of him are disqualifying is laughable at best, and embarrassing at worst. https://smh.com.au/world/north-america/murdoch-s-ruddicide-will-fail-here-s-why-trump-will-warm-to-our-kevin-20241115-p5kqy9.html

If you're wondering whether the Murdoch hit squad thinks Australia should offer Trump Tasmania as a peace offering—or just appoint Barnaby Joyce as governor-general—this piece serves up the perfect dose of reality. Hartcher's article reminds us that diplomacy isn't a reality TV show, no matter how much Sky News wishes it were. Give it a read and get some balance on this whole kerfuffle—it's worth it just for the laugh about “America’s Hitler” turning into Trump’s VP.
