The joke was dumb, the online reaction to the joke was dumb, a random UAP senator’s dumb comments being quoted globally was dumb and Rudd telling famous musicians and actors to “grow up and get a job” was very dumb. What a time we live in.

    He’s hedging his bets. He’s been on the record calling Mr Trump a nutter and a danger to civilisation. If he is reelected in November, Mr Rudd’s position as US Ambassador is non-tenable.

    By openly supporting him now, he gets to keep his job in the event of President Trump 2.0.

        Haha no argument here. Just theorising why he’s suddenly done a complete 180.

        Is US Ambassador the cushiest job in the world? I honestly don’t know. Being kicked out of USA because Mr Trump doesn’t like you would probably be a badge of honour for any European country. I wouldn’t have thought it would make him unemployable as an ambassador to somewhere else prestigious.
