Fuck those Aussies!

"Dear Australia: The majority of Americans who don't support Trump want to say we are sorry. We will make it up to you in four years or less," Ted Lieu, a Democratic congressman from California who sits on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, wrote on Twitter after the story broke.

"I made a Top 100 Possible Trump Administration Foreign Crises list & I gotta admit 'Rupturing US-Australia Relations' was NOT on there," senator Chris Murphy, a Democrat from Connecticut who sits on the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, also wrote.

Lawrence O'Donnell, the left-wing commentator and host of MSNBC's The Last Word, lambasted the President for insulting Turnbull, "while having no idea that Australia has stood by us like no other ally, marched into battle with us where no other ally would go, including Vietnam, something Donald Trump would have known if he had served in Vietnam and heard those men beside him with those Australian accents, men who saved the lives of American troops".

Trump avoided serving in the Vietnam War due to a series of deferments, including a medical deferment for bone spurs in his heels.

For openers, Bruce Springsteen traditionally likes to spotlight any elephants in the room.

"War! What is it good for?" he bellowed across the Docklands back in 2003, the very day Dubya sent American troops into Iraq.

While playing in Perth, Bruce Springsteen pledges his allegiance to those at the women's march protesting Donald Trump's presidency.

At this diplomatic juncture, he found a comic keynote more in order.

Few might have heard the hayseed novelty tune Don't Hang Up before, but we all knew what it meant in the shadow of phonegate, especially coming from a confessed "embarrassed American".

The Boss was going somewhere with this, of course. In a whooshing rush of lights, drums, fiddles and swashbuckling came the big picture: all proud immigrants together in the Celtic frenzy of American Land, The Ties That Bind extended the metaphor in a chiming fanfare of family forever.

Now he (Trump) is going to honor the deal Obama made to take in Muslim refugees.
