    Sure, let's give the republicans the right to make the rules about who gets to spend money or have free political speech.

    It's been attempted many times, yet always seems to morph into socialism or fascism or some offshoot. It's been attempted here in the states as well...power struggles and greed usually win out given a little time.

    Which is a good argument that Libertarianism is the working solution.

    You propose just that. Unintended consequences. We need to strip those sleazebags of power, not give them more.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    This was alluded to in the above tweet, but it's worth going into a bit more exactly how difficult it is for Trump to understand things. Remember, this was intended to be a private discussion, not a stump speech--he wasn't "playing dumb" to deliver talking points to his base. He also wasn't being a "crafty negotiator" because, as Turnbull explains (and Trump fails to understand), according to the agreement, how many refugees Trump accepts can be any number down to 0. He doesn't have to "win a negotiation" for that to be the case.

    Certain people slowly realize a hit piece.

    A transcript of a phone call is a hit piece?

    Or did you want to defend Trump's words in that call? Maybe you think he was playing 9-dimensional chess?

    The interpretation is weak sauce and the article is a hit piece. Clearly you prove my point. Certain people.

    The quotes in the article make it look like Trump was trying to get the Australian PM to admit the people in question are now, or potentially in the future, a danger.

    What the PM says and really thinks are two different things. Potentially.

    We have the transcript, there's no need to rely on the article.

    What? No they don't. They do make it look like Trump believed that the people are dangerous.

    Please feel free to defend any part of this quote from Trump.

    What it looks like is that Trump is not listening to Australian PM during this conversation, coming to his own conclusions, and has no idea what is going on. It doesn't look to me like they are trying to suggest that Trump was trying to convince Australian PM that they are dangerous, he's just unstable and not listening to the PM. Maybe it's because of his bias. Maybe it's because he is incompetent. Whatever the reason, it's painful to read.

    Don't look up "milk people" on Google--unless you have very particular fetishes.
