To paraphrase the brilliant Oscar Wilde, there is only one thing in the world worse than to be insulted by Donald Trump. And that is to not be insulted by Donald Trump.
Now that Trump has insulted Kevin Rudd as “a little bit nasty” and “not the brightest bulb”, Rudd has graduated. Trump said if Rudd remained hostile, he wouldn’t last long as Australia’s ambassador to the US. Australian ambassador to the US Kevin Rudd and Prime Minister Anthony Albanese in Washington last October.“It’s very simple. First, obviously, the Australian ambassador is chosen by the Australian government. Second, Trump is a bully and the worst possible thing the Australian government can do is to be seen to give in to bullying.
Turnbull isn’t the only former Liberal prime minister with a positive appraisal of Rudd’s work. In comments not previously reported, Scott Morrison told my colleague James Massola last month that he was “highly commending of what Kevin was able to achieve” in navigating passage of AUKUS-enabling legislation through the US Congress last year.
