My first clue about Trump and Putin was when other Presidents recorded what was said in meetings and Trump wouldn't . That was a big red flag right there.
Malignant Narcissists admire Dictators. Due to their eccentric tendencies, a narcissist believes that they are above everybody else and find it difficult to relate to others’ problems. This exaggerated sense of self-worth makes them admire dictators who misuse their power and cause hardship to innocent people.
Well that, and also when every arm of US intelligence told Trump that Putin had interfered with the election and would again and Trump simply said Putin told him he didn't. Trump told global press assembled in Helsinki "I don't see why [Putin] would [interfere with US elections]." Then Trump seriously floated Putin's wonderful idea that Russia and the US could collaborate on cyber security! That would be like a police chief saying he wanted to collaborate with Charles Manson on public safety initiatives. Putin must have gotten the biggest belly laugh of his evil life after hearing his puppet/stooge tell the press that one.
@@lamars2486 I’ve always wondered WHAT was significance of that soccer ball. Ttrump believed Putin over U S intelligence. Which was a huge RED FLAG to the American people. Ttrump calling Putin for advice during his presidency, which Ttrump said he did continually. Every meeting ttrump has had with Putin, ttrump has gone to great lengths, to make sure those meetings and the conversations have been hidden from the people of our country.. WHY? Why and WHAT was being discussed, by these two leaders, it had to be just between them. That has ALWAYS SMELLED like an extremely full diaper full of shyt!!
Multiple indicted criminal defendant Trump (running for pardon) is a world concern. All the allies of the USA are worried. Thanks Turnbull for speaking up, Republican moderates need to speak up.
Malcolm has nothing to lose, so he's telling it like he sees it. (Yes, I'm an Aussie, I've seen his political career, and it's now over. He's independently wealthy and doesn't need to curry favour with anyone.)
@@stealthtowealth2167he's always been fairly fearless. He took on the Crown and British Security Services as a lawyer over the whole Spycatcher publication affair. Even for people who don't like him as a politician, you have to respect the stones that took.
1. The handling of the National Energy Guarantee (NEG) and climate change policies. 2. Internal party conflicts and leadership challenges within the Liberal Party. 3. Controversies surrounding the banking sector and financial misconduct. 4. Immigration policies, particularly the treatment of asylum seekers on Manus Island and Nauru. 5. The decision to call a double dissolution election in 2016, which resulted in a more fragmented Senate.
He's not welcome in Australia. During 1986-7 the state of NSW in Australia asked for bids to build the first casino in Sydney. Four groups submitted bids for the lucrative project. Cabinet papers declassified 30 years later revealed that the Trump bid was rejected after NSW State Police reported that the Trump mafia connections and financial unviability made their bid undesirable. It also said his ties to organised crime was obvious.
Im an Australian and when Turnbull was Prime Minster he was part of the Liberal Party. Here the Liberal Party is considered a center right party in our 2 party system, Labour being centre left. The most extreme radical right wing parties we have don't even get more than 5% of the vote in general elections and even they don't have the same lunatic politicians that Republican Party does in the United States. Yet the GOP is supported by nearly half of your country? Its just mind blowing and the rest of the world is literally laughing at what a joke America has become. That the "leaders of the free world" has a major party who's leader and followers now believe in everything western democracies have spent the last 100 years fighting against. Also you wonder why the middle east and Latin American countries can't stand you people? Because since the end of WW2 you've overthrown or attempted to overthrow the governments so many poorer countries in the name of "spreading democracy" (when in essence it was just to steal oil and be modern imperialists). You know how hollow the whole "democracy" argument sounds when you have a mad man like Donald Trump who wants to destroy it in your own country? What the world is telling America right now; stop trying to interfere with other countries, stop supporting the genocide in Gaza and focus on fixing your own country so Donald Trump doesn't get back into power and potentially destroy the world as we know it.
@salvation2979 the current pm is left wing, so his views are going to be even stronger than Malcolm's. Malcom is right wing, along the lines of Romney.
@@salvation2979 Our current Prime minster is left wing he stands for democracy and women's freedom the complete opposite to Trump. He would think Trump is a laughing stock.
I'm an American currently working abroad in Singapore. Lost of Aussies here. This sentiment is widely shared, I assure you. People are looking at our country with whole new eyes. It's not only humiliating, it's tragic. We have to right this ship by RESOUNDINGLY re-electing Joe Biden . It's just not an option.
Not in Singapore but I'm an American who's been living in Japan for nearly 20 years. Similar sentiment as yours in regards to how people view our country now. We most definitely have to get this right.
It's not just America as a political entity, it's individual Americans. Here in the UK, we thought of Americans as being nice and good-hearted overall, then a huge portion of them decided that Trump, a man entirely devoid of humour or charm, would be the best possible spokesman for them.
This information needs to be sent back to America LOUD and CLEAR. The entire world sees Trump as an existential threat who has already destroyed the GOP, the Supreme Court, and with that result America’s democracy is hanging on by its fingernails.
The fact that Turnbull is doing this speaks volumes. It has been a cardinal rule of Australian politics for generations that our leaders - even if they’ve retired - don’t go out of their way to air their views of prospective US Presidents in the US media. Turnbull saw how Trump operated up close and clearly decided the rule wasn’t worth observing in such a dire case.
Yes Malcolm is breaking the normal convention of not publicly speaking out against a candidate in the election of an ally. And that should certainly ring alarm bells as to how dire this case is
pfffft, he just has a be in his bonnet over being put in his place by Trump. I'm Aussie and even I recognise how small our impact is in geopolitical forces. Basically without the US, we don't have anything to say globally. He is such a wanker that he actually thought he could control those forces.
@@Satronaut-pw3ij hahahahahahahahhaah That's gotta be a satirical comment! Don't worry, I realise you're dead serious.

You people with TDS need help if you can't see the issue with having a guy with dementia in control of the nuclear football, especially at a time when major players and bad actors are making trouble around the world.

VOTE BLUE if you want: - Increased and spiraling inflation - the continued creation of superfluous government jobs - a greatly reduced and restrictive climate for business opportunity and growth - brutal personal attacks and vastly increased crime rates in our cities - racist oriented and divisive college graduations and dormitory residency - DEI predicated selections for military cadre and commercial airline pilots (United Airlines) - Elementary age students to be subject to classroom performances by female impersonating degenerates and a system that not only allows for but encourages preadolescents to act on their thwarted inclinations to exchange genders - the inability of young children to move safely about their neighborhoods and commune with their peers - women’s sports destroyed by allowing men to compete within their ranks - to knuckle under to government dictates to lock yourself away from fresh air and sunshine, wear an ineffective rag over your breathing apparatus, and allow your body to be invaded by vaccines that are questionable at best and lethal at their worst - free health care for invading illegal aliens (700,000 in California alone) while programs for veterans are suffering cutbacks - your currency to be out of your wallet and in the hands of the government, who will use whatever medium of exchange they can use for purposes of monitoring you. - And let’s not forget forgiving 450 billion dollars in student loans (money that’s shouldered by the taxpayer and teaches students to be irresponsible. - Now, can’t you see all the reasons to VOTE BLUE? SO, GO DO IT! - - Biden is proving himself to very likely be the most inept and destructive national administrator in the history of western civilization. Their evils notwithstanding, even Hitler, Stalin, Caligula, Nero, and Vlad Dracul, got a great deal accomplished for their respective countries. As an avid researcher and reader of history and historical fiction, while I don't consider myself a historian per se, I cannot recall a single national leader who deliberately turned on their citizenry in any way, let alone in so destructive a fashion as Joe Biden.
Americans have an unusual electoral system for president of the United States. The vote of the majority of American voters is not necessary to win a presidential election. The majority of American voters have NEVER voted for or abided this man. In fact in 2016 when he became president, his opponent received more votes than he did countrywide. It's not the American people who control our system. It's an archaic, obscure, imperfect process put in place by the Founding Fathers in a very different age.
American election - “We all have a stake in it, but we can’t have a say in it “ Malcolm Turnbull ( Former Australian Prime Minister 🇦🇺As an Australian I totally agree. The consequences of this election will have an enormous impact on the world order. Please vote Blue America 🇺🇸 for democracy’s sake!
I agree with you. We would have to look closely at our Alliance. I can never see Australia taking orders from a wannabe dictator.We will tell Trump in the real Aussie way"Go get stuffed you mongrel." Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺
Yep - I've never watched USA politics before, but I stayed up till 3am local time here in Aus to see those crucial states turn blue, because as Jan 6th showed, democracy and the world's environmental state was on the line if Tdump stayed on.
Malcolm hit the nail on the head at two points in this interview - we all have a stake in the election in November, but only Americans get a say, and that undermining of established alliances with words, even if not by actions, can lead allies to question whether the US can be relied upon. I'm a member of the opposite party to Turnbull and campaigned against him in the 2016 Australian election, but on these points, we are united. I look at the games Republicans are playing in Congress with the Ukraine and Gaza bill at the behest of Trump and wonder as an Australian whether we can rely on America to come to our aid in a time of need, as we have come to America's aid in every major conflict since WWII.
When no American bank wanted to lend money to Trump. Deutsche Bank lent 200 million dollars to Trump to save him from bankruptcy in 1998. The U.S. Department of Justice has been investigating Deutsche Bank for years over trades that authorities said were used to launder $10 billion out of Russia, which led to the German bank being fined nearly $700 million. It was Russian money and it was perfect for Putin because he knew that Trump one day was going to try to be president. It is clear that Putin was behind the transactions, but unfortunately, it hasn't been proven. It could be proven and should be investigated and at least reported about. It's a mystery why this hasn't been investigated and spoken about in the news?
As an Australian with a keen interest in the upcoming US election I greatly appreciate this interview. While I didn't vote for Turnbull, being a life long Labour supporter, I always found Turnbull to be far preferable to the other three right wing idiots the Liberals have had leading them recently. Far more centralist and sensible. I have been criticised for my comments on this topic due to my not being American, with the obvious assumption that it's therefore none of my business. Turnbull clearly explains why in fact it is. I remember ringing my girlfriend on Jan 6th, way back then to get up and turn on her TV. The part I never did, and never will understand, is just WHY?? he was not locked up that very night. I'm all for free speech but inciting a riot is just that. The biggest difference between Australia and USA in politics is in compulsory voting in Australia. It's interesting to see the figures for Nikki Haley voters who claim they will not vote for Trump. I guess that means they just don't vote. Not an option here but will probably help Biden in the election. Can't help but feel as well that a vote for Biden is a vote for Kamala Harris.
IT'S amazing how Americans say it's none of your business but they can't keep their nose out of other countries either which have caused political havoc in other countries. It's double standards. We are allowed to look at their politics and have an opinion. Don't let them tell you otherwise.
Mr. Turnbull put it together very well. I really liked his "... penetrating glimpse of the obvious." That leaders of democratic open economic nations are making plans to protect their country's interests if the U.S. makes the same mistake that we allowed in 2016. The security of the "normal" peoples of the world is a thing.
I would feel a lot better if our Aussie right wing were more like him, but I still wouldn't vote for him. Tbh, I wouldn't vote for Labor leaders anymore, they capitulate to the right too often. Labor sounds like moderate Liberals these days.
Australian here, Americans should understand that Malcolm Turnbull is a rich right-wing politician. It would be ridiculous for any American critics to label him as left wing. I am not right wing, there are things that Malcolm did that I do not agree with but I can honestly say I don't believe his Integrity has ever been questioned.

An admission from an older Aussie, I didn’t vote for Malcolm, however I have great respect for his intellect and his ability to articulate the issues and the challenges that face your country and its constitution.
@@julesnagbunga1204I don’t think all Australians share that perspective. Many vote for the leader, but they can be replaced by the party without voter endorsement.
As an Australian, I am glad he is speaking out - just as other people have said below. We (the collective 'we') certainly have a stake in what happens in elections in America. We, in Australia, could not trust Trump in leadership and therefore America as an Ally would just not exist.
That's just plain false and ridiculous thinking. Australia has and always will be allies with America not matter who the president is and it was just fine under Trump as with any US president.
This is true. I also think about if I was raising my daughters in the US (as opposed to Australia) I would be making plans to leave. They could be denied healthcare and die from treatable reproductive issues. They could be shot in school or on the street. They would be raised in fear. Why would anyone vote for that?
Thanks Malcolm, you were a breath of fresh air when you took the reins with a sensible centre approach. Unfortunately there were too many wackos in your party and we never got to see what you could really do for our country. A real opportunity missed when you see who's next in line.....
Isn’t it crazy that we have an Australian telling it how it is. We Aussies are watching what’s going on over there and I’m hoping common sense prevails in the end. Vote blue if you think your democracy is important. The rest of the world is counting on you.
What's most terrifying is how many on the right don't value democracy. They see Authoritarian regimes as "protecting Christian values" while the west is destroying traditional family values.

Yes, I have one. Why is it that people say Trump threatens world peace when there were zero major conflicts under his watch and now Ukraine and the Middle East under Sleepy Joe?
Malcolm Turnbull must praised to have the gutts to expose Donald Trump Other leaders should stand up against Trump threats to democracy. However we believe that Trump will be wiped out of the political scene this November. He will end up in jail for life
I never voted for Malcolm Turbull his party politics are too conservative for me but i have always respected and admired the man he is a class act Turnbull n his opposition Kevin Rudd get together often n give it to Murdoch they are not scared of Murdoch one little bit Turnbull just says it how it is but in a gentlemen respectful way like a leader should
Well his party is yes, but thats why they turned on him. He was the left of the right. Unfortunately the status quo doesnt like grey areas. Party room politics is the bane of our system.
He has not said one single thing that I hadn’t known about trump for years. Sad thing about the reality is so many Americans don’t or refuse to see it.
You are both right about what you are saying. The inward looking ignorance of politics and geography by the vast majority of Americans is staggering to the outside world.

WOW - to think a former PM of Australia is speaking out against Trump --- BRAVO!!!!! Wish more of the US leaders would stand up to this monster too --- it would be in the interest of the US - and the entire world.
Many, perhaps the greatest majority of Australian voters, don't worship politicians. We expect them to use their positions to better the lives of all Aussies. They work for us and if they don't we have the power to remove them through the vote. They know this. We tell them. It is so difficult to understand how so many Americans cheer trump's waffly unsubstantiated claims about what he has done/will do. Our pollies (Aussie speak for politicians) generally know what we expect. Ask Scomo, the former PM who was ousted by the voters what happens if they don't.
a former conservative PM of Australia at that....Turnbull led the Liberal National party which was a centre-right party. Here's a guy who is no stranger to the right and kept differentiating between the principles of conservatism and the behaviour of Trump.. To be fair, as he kept reminding us, what he is saying is the bleeding obvious. How more Americans can't see that is mind-boggling.
The US has diminished in the eyes of the world since 2016. In short; we think your country has gone crazy. And the most powerful country with the most nuclear weapons going crazy is frightening. I know most of you didn't vote for trump. He never won a popular vote. But your country has abjectly failed, failed and failed again to hold him to account.

I'm in the same boat. I remember feeling relief when Turnbull took over from Abbott. Of course, the Coalition had become quite right-wing by that point, further right than Turnbull and they of course made it very hard for him to govern freely.
I am an Australian voter and I've voted for Malcolm Turnbill, not always but I have. In making these statements publicly he has lived up to his high standard for calling a political situation for what it is. It's time for other world leaders, with direct experience in dealing with DJT, to come out, publicly, and support what Malcolm is saying. When in the military, I had experience working with the great folks of the US military. They are active, dedicated patriots who, as we do, genuinely love their country. The problem for all militaries in democracies is that we operate at the behest of our 'political masters' who come and go. In the Australian system, the official representative of the British monarch is our Governor General. That office is, technically, the head of our armed services, through a tradition that is over 200 years old, however, it is, in truth, the elected Prime Minister who, in the event of hostilities, issues orders to the ADF, through the parliament. This system has worked well through 2 world wars and all conflicts the ADF has served in, however, if we were stuck with a DJT-type of Prime Minister; the Chiefs of our ADF would find themselves in a highly conflicted situation. As Mr Turnbull says, no matter the party, 'small c' conservatism is what is needed when dealing with international allies, otherwise we might be ordered into a conflict that we all know would be detrimental to our oaths of loyalty and our natural aversion to unjust conflicts. This is the nightmare scenario where international peace and cooperation treaties are put at real risk. I can assure all US voters that the world's democracies watch US politics with serious interest and a great deal of apprehension when someone like DJT could get into the White House or, worse still, return to the Oval Office. Of course, we can't vote to have a say who heads up America; yet we could be forced to face unjust acts of aggression if we adhere to our commitments as a staunch ally of the US. So, in November, please America; choose wisely. Kind regards, especially to all my good mates in the U.S. Bill H.
From Australia. Australia has been a long term and genuine ally and friend of the United States of America. Politics aside, Malcolm Turnbull is nobody's fool and doesn't suffer fools gladly. His premiership in this country was characterised by a respect for the primacy of our constitution, the rule of law and upholding our long term friendship with the United States of America. He speaks with the benefits of credible experience and a demonstrated commitment to upholding democracy everywhere.
@vancitye- Trump is too old for women now so he cast his daughter aside and only engages in bromances. He likes the short balding ones with a Napolean complex and the mark of Satan branded way deep down into his dark red blackened murderous soul. Some say Trump is licking more than Putin's boots and it is not a drippy ice cream cone. When Trump was President, Russia called Washington DC Kremlin West. If anyone can find Niki Haley's husband ask him to return Melania. The Argentinian pool boy is getting lonely.
Malcolm Turnbull is being very measured in his comments. But the message is unmistakable. Every western country is horrified at the thought of a second Trump presidency.

Outside of the US many of us have been well aware of tRumps criminal schemes, myself since the 70’s. There are many countries where he has tried to build his golf resorts, while disrespecting the local people by having them kicked off their land by paying bribes to the powers that be. He really is a mob boss ! Be careful what you wish for America !!
I agree 100%. A very powerful take on the choice that is offered to American people: one between the rule of law and democracy and autocracy and chaos.
Malcolm Turnbull is a brilliant mind. He was one of our great PMs here in Australia. So glad he is speaking out. America needs to realise you can't be an isolationist in the 21st century. We are all intertwined for trade and importantly in peace.

Turnbull added "oh I intended 250 thousand".
Yep, more wealthy than trump would ever be, before serving as PM and his very successful wife and yet he chose to Take public transport to work to highlight the need for reducing cars on the road and reduce fumes for climate change.
Why did it take another country's former leader to explain that Trump is not a conservative?! This notion and definition should be in the media every single day
Well said Michael: The intellectual contrast between the two of them couldn't be starker. Turnbull is super smart and intelligent, where, Trump is intellectually deprived and as you correctly state... "rambles and rages". stay safe and go well.
I had the privilege of interacting with Malcolm Turnbull and others in the Liberal Party of Australia a few different times in 2016 during their extended 8-week campaign period for their federal election (imagine calling an 8-week election season 'extended' - I wish!) and he always struck me as an honest and decent man. The conversation he's having now is similar to the conversations that Australian public officials were having across the political spectrum at that time. Just utter confusion as to what Americans could possibly see in a man who even then was clearly an admirer of dictators and a threat to global stability. Trump is one of the greatest embarrassments in the history of America.
It's a pity hiš efforts were torn down by the likes of Abbott and Morrison. Out of spite and opportunism, over what was best for the Australian people. Malcolm was there, sure for hiš belief in himself, but ultimately for us. For the red, blue, green and all others.
Note that Turnbull was the leader of Austraila's CONSERVATIVE political party. This guy is no leftie. That said, he is an educated, thoughtful, decent guy. Everything modern American 'conservatism' reviles, in other words.
Yep. As a leftie I wasn't a huge fan of turnbull, but out of all the recent right wing/conservative Prime Ministers, he was the most respectable. And genuine. Unlike Scumo & Tony A-Butt.
@@harri3020 he's a classical liberal. The type that gave the party its name. It falls within the boundaries of conservative on the conservative progressive line
Unfortunately, Australian voters do not value articulate, intelligent leaders. To be successful in Australian politics, you must play the blokely buffoon and disguise your untelligence. Australian voters are willing to ignore a lack of policy and substance if the leader in question manages to portray himself as a "good bloke I'd like too have a drink with".
I appreciate what he had to say. I'll listen to anybody who tells the truth about Trump. It would be nice if every other world leader of democracies would speak up about the dangers we face in this country and the world from this pathological megalomaniac
I'm not into political labels, but most would say I am not really a conservative. despite this I must confess that I didn't agree with Turnbull's policies but never questioned his intelligence and his desire to work for Australia and its people. That's what our politicians should do.
Greetings from Europe. Mr. Turnbull described it perfectly. I would say in Europe the sense is even more alarmist, since that terrible Russian aggression against Ukraine is at our doorsteps and Putin is already openly threatening Poland and the Baltics. And yes, we make contingencies on how to proceed and defend ourselves without Amerika, strengthen our own weapons industry to become less dependent from Amerika. There are talks about strengthening our own nuclear capabilities in which Germany would become a nuclear power next to France and the UK. Those are all discussions now, but they will form the roadmap once Trump is back in power. We feel utterly threatened by Russia and the US is letting us down. We feel we have no choice.
The issue is that Trump isn't the only one within the Republican party with those views. The USA is no longer a reliable partner and the rest of the west needs to make accommodations for that.
@@sprig5173 turnbull did, as trump tried to bully him into changing a migration agreement we had with obama, and told trump to fu ck off more or less, and trump spat his dummy on the floor like the man baby he is.
Hate to say it, but here's a couple thought on that. With all the crimes and cases against Trump, and the support he still gets, and the non news reporting of Fox, pee tapes won't change a thing. Plus, if Putin released such things, what then would his advantage be? What power over Trump would he have?
Brilliant analysis by Australia’s former Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull. I understand that when Turnbull was PM, he behaved like a civilised adult, unlike some others.
Yes, those offshore accounts named in the Panama papers really showed how being a tax dodger politician makes you civilized. Just the older version of his loud mouth son hiding in Singapore.
@@doughart2720 hahaa 😅 yeah.... turnbull is so articulate half the maga folks wouldn't even understand what he said... turnbull needs to start talking like a 6 year old bigly!
My first clue about Trump and Putin was when other Presidents recorded what was said in meetings and Trump wouldn't . That was a big red flag right there.
Bingo, great point, a scary moment never seen that before. Then he got the "soccer ball."
Malignant Narcissists admire Dictators. Due to their eccentric tendencies, a narcissist believes that they are above everybody else and find it difficult to relate to others’ problems. This exaggerated sense of self-worth makes them admire dictators who misuse their power and cause hardship to innocent people.
Well that, and also when every arm of US intelligence told Trump that Putin had interfered with the election and would again and Trump simply said Putin told him he didn't. Trump told global press assembled in Helsinki "I don't see why [Putin] would [interfere with US elections]." Then Trump seriously floated Putin's wonderful idea that Russia and the US could collaborate on cyber security! That would be like a police chief saying he wanted to collaborate with Charles Manson on public safety initiatives. Putin must have gotten the biggest belly laugh of his evil life after hearing his puppet/stooge tell the press that one.
@@lamars2486
I’ve always wondered WHAT was significance of that soccer ball. Ttrump believed Putin over U S intelligence. Which was a huge RED FLAG to the American people. Ttrump calling Putin for advice during his presidency, which Ttrump said he did continually.
Every meeting ttrump has had with Putin, ttrump has gone to great lengths, to make sure those meetings and the conversations have been hidden from the people of our country.. WHY? Why and WHAT was being discussed, by these two leaders, it had to be just between them.
That has ALWAYS SMELLED like an extremely full diaper full of shyt!!
My first clue about Trump and Putin was a BBC documentary describing his contacts with Russian mobsters and KGB, which came out in 2015.
Multiple indicted criminal defendant Trump (running for pardon) is a world concern. All the allies of the USA are worried. Thanks Turnbull for speaking up, Republican moderates need to speak up.

2. Internal party conflicts and leadership challenges within the Liberal Party.
3. Controversies surrounding the banking sector and financial misconduct.
4. Immigration policies, particularly the treatment of asylum seekers on Manus Island and Nauru.
5. The decision to call a double dissolution election in 2016, which resulted in a more fragmented Senate.

He's not welcome in Australia. During 1986-7 the state of NSW in Australia asked for bids to build the first casino in Sydney. Four groups submitted bids for the lucrative project. Cabinet papers declassified 30 years later revealed that the Trump bid was rejected after NSW State Police reported that the Trump mafia connections and financial unviability made their bid undesirable.
It also said his ties to organised crime was obvious.

Not a Turnbull fan either (nbn sucks because of him), but he’s speaking intelligently and with clarity here
True.
Im an Australian and when Turnbull was Prime Minster he was part of the Liberal Party. Here the Liberal Party is considered a center right party in our 2 party system, Labour being centre left. The most extreme radical right wing parties we have don't even get more than 5% of the vote in general elections and even they don't have the same lunatic politicians that Republican Party does in the United States. Yet the GOP is supported by nearly half of your country?
Its just mind blowing and the rest of the world is literally laughing at what a joke America has become. That the "leaders of the free world" has a major party who's leader and followers now believe in everything western democracies have spent the last 100 years fighting against.
Also you wonder why the middle east and Latin American countries can't stand you people? Because since the end of WW2 you've overthrown or attempted to overthrow the governments so many poorer countries in the name of "spreading democracy" (when in essence it was just to steal oil and be modern imperialists). You know how hollow the whole "democracy" argument sounds when you have a mad man like Donald Trump who wants to destroy it in your own country?
What the world is telling America right now; stop trying to interfere with other countries, stop supporting the genocide in Gaza and focus on fixing your own country so Donald Trump doesn't get back into power and potentially destroy the world as we know it.
Thank you so much for having this former priminister on!
primster?
former…there is a reason. Ask the current prime minister what he thinks of democrats. 😂😂😂😂
@salvation2979 the current pm is left wing, so his views are going to be even stronger than Malcolm's. Malcom is right wing, along the lines of Romney.

I'm an American currently working abroad in Singapore. Lost of Aussies here. This sentiment is widely shared, I assure you. People are looking at our country with whole new eyes. It's not only humiliating, it's tragic. We have to right this ship by RESOUNDINGLY re-electing Joe Biden . It's just not an option.
Not in Singapore but I'm an American who's been living in Japan for nearly 20 years. Similar sentiment as yours in regards to how people view our country now. We most definitely have to get this right.
It's not just America as a political entity, it's individual Americans. Here in the UK, we thought of Americans as being nice and good-hearted overall, then a huge portion of them decided that Trump, a man entirely devoid of humour or charm, would be the best possible spokesman for them.
If other countries like the president they're not governing properly.
This information needs to be sent back to America LOUD and CLEAR.
The entire world sees Trump as an existential threat who has already destroyed the GOP, the Supreme Court, and with that result America’s democracy is hanging on by its fingernails.

The fact that Turnbull is doing this speaks volumes. It has been a cardinal rule of Australian politics for generations that our leaders - even if they’ve retired - don’t go out of their way to air their views of prospective US Presidents in the US media. Turnbull saw how Trump operated up close and clearly decided the rule wasn’t worth observing in such a dire case.
Yes Malcolm is breaking the normal convention of not publicly speaking out against a candidate in the election of an ally. And that should certainly ring alarm bells as to how dire this case is
He has ALWAYS been outspoken about Trump, ever since the phone call in 2016
pfffft, he just has a be in his bonnet over being put in his place by Trump. I'm Aussie and even I recognise how small our impact is in geopolitical forces. Basically without the US, we don't have anything to say globally. He is such a wanker that he actually thought he could control those forces.
Yeah just shows how important it is to put the word out there about what a danger a cnt like Trump is for the democratic world.

- Biden is proving himself to very likely be the most inept and destructive national administrator in the history of western civilization. Their evils notwithstanding, even Hitler, Stalin, Caligula, Nero, and Vlad Dracul, got a great deal accomplished for their respective countries. As an avid researcher and reader of history and historical fiction, while I don't consider myself a historian per se, I cannot recall a single national leader who deliberately turned on their citizenry in any way, let alone in so destructive a fashion as Joe Biden.
Americans have an unusual electoral system for president of the United States. The vote of the majority of American voters is not necessary to win a presidential election. The majority of American voters have NEVER voted for or abided this man. In fact in 2016 when he became president, his opponent received more votes than he did countrywide. It's not the American people who control our system. It's an archaic, obscure, imperfect process put in place by the Founding Fathers in a very different age.

Malcolm Turbull hit the bullseye of reason when it comes to the topic of Donald Trump. He speaks TRUTH.
About this one thing. Everything else turnbull says can be ignored.
Haha Turnbull & truth don’t got together in the same scentence
Turnball is a clown
Malcolm hit the nail on the head at two points in this interview - we all have a stake in the election in November, but only Americans get a say, and that undermining of established alliances with words, even if not by actions, can lead allies to question whether the US can be relied upon.
I'm a member of the opposite party to Turnbull and campaigned against him in the 2016 Australian election, but on these points, we are united.
I look at the games Republicans are playing in Congress with the Ukraine and Gaza bill at the behest of Trump and wonder as an Australian whether we can rely on America to come to our aid in a time of need, as we have come to America's aid in every major conflict since WWII.
Well said!
Ditto from New Zealand
When no American bank wanted to lend money to Trump. Deutsche Bank lent 200 million dollars to Trump to save him from bankruptcy in 1998. The U.S. Department of Justice has been investigating Deutsche Bank for years over trades that authorities said were used to launder $10 billion out of Russia, which led to the German bank being fined nearly $700 million. It was Russian money and it was perfect for Putin because he knew that Trump one day was going to try to be president. It is clear that Putin was behind the transactions, but unfortunately, it hasn't been proven. It could be proven and should be investigated and at least reported about. It's a mystery why this hasn't been investigated and spoken about in the news?
Agreed
As an Australian with a keen interest in the upcoming US election I greatly appreciate this interview. While I didn't vote for Turnbull, being a life long Labour supporter, I always found Turnbull to be far preferable to the other three right wing idiots the Liberals have had leading them recently. Far more centralist and sensible. I have been criticised for my comments on this topic due to my not being American, with the obvious assumption that it's therefore none of my business. Turnbull clearly explains why in fact it is. I remember ringing my girlfriend on Jan 6th, way back then to get up and turn on her TV. The part I never did, and never will understand, is just WHY?? he was not locked up that very night. I'm all for free speech but inciting a riot is just that. The biggest difference between Australia and USA in politics is in compulsory voting in Australia. It's interesting to see the figures for Nikki Haley voters who claim they will not vote for Trump. I guess that means they just don't vote. Not an option here but will probably help Biden in the election. Can't help but feel as well that a vote for Biden is a vote for Kamala Harris.
IT'S amazing how Americans say it's none of your business but they can't keep their nose out of other countries either which have caused political havoc in other countries. It's double standards. We are allowed to look at their politics and have an opinion. Don't let them tell you otherwise.
A dangerous viewpoint! The only one with America's best interest at heart, is Trump! in spite of his faults!

That's just plain false and ridiculous thinking. Australia has and always will be allies with America not matter who the president is and it was just fine under Trump as with any US president.
This is true. I also think about if I was raising my daughters in the US (as opposed to Australia) I would be making plans to leave.

@@jetpark3743arguably richer, Trump is likely gone for all money now, and opinions are always divided over politics. Turnbull was an anti-politician in some ways. He was too left for the Libs and not left enough for Labor.
@@GreenDistantStar I liked Turnbull. He was the 'conservative' (never thought he really was) that the centre-left voter could stomach. He has always had a balanced view on local and world politics and frankly, a heart. Not a common trait for a 'conservative'. A pity his chosen side of politics couldn't stomach him as much.

In so many words the guy is telling us what must be done...and it has nothing to do with elections🤷🏼♂️🤷🤷🏽♂️
And democracy!
WOW - to think a former PM of Australia is speaking out against Trump --- BRAVO!!!!! Wish more of the US leaders would stand up to this monster too --- it would be in the interest of the US - and the entire world.
Many, perhaps the greatest majority of Australian voters, don't worship politicians. We expect them to use their positions to better the lives of all Aussies. They work for us and if they don't we have the power to remove them through the vote. They know this. We tell them. It is so difficult to understand how so many Americans cheer trump's waffly unsubstantiated claims about what he has done/will do. Our pollies (Aussie speak for politicians) generally know what we expect. Ask Scomo, the former PM who was ousted by the voters what happens if they don't.
a former conservative PM of Australia at that....Turnbull led the Liberal National party which was a centre-right party. Here's a guy who is no stranger to the right and kept differentiating between the principles of conservatism and the behaviour of Trump.. To be fair, as he kept reminding us, what he is saying is the bleeding obvious. How more Americans can't see that is mind-boggling.
The US has diminished in the eyes of the world since 2016. In short; we think your country has gone crazy. And the most powerful country with the most nuclear weapons going crazy is frightening. I know most of you didn't vote for trump. He never won a popular vote. But your country has abjectly failed, failed and failed again to hold him to account.
Except sky news they love trump

Am a Labor support in Australia but I have always admired Malcolm turnmbull
I'm in the same boat. I remember feeling relief when Turnbull took over from Abbott. Of course, the Coalition had become quite right-wing by that point, further right than Turnbull and they of course made it very hard for him to govern freely.
I am an Australian voter and I've voted for Malcolm Turnbill, not always but I have. In making these statements publicly he has lived up to his high standard for calling a political situation for what it is. It's time for other world leaders, with direct experience in dealing with DJT, to come out, publicly, and support what Malcolm is saying. When in the military, I had experience working with the great folks of the US military. They are active, dedicated patriots who, as we do, genuinely love their country.
The problem for all militaries in democracies is that we operate at the behest of our 'political masters' who come and go.
In the Australian system, the official representative of the British monarch is our Governor General. That office is, technically, the head of our armed services, through a tradition that is over 200 years old, however, it is, in truth, the elected Prime Minister who, in the event of hostilities, issues orders to the ADF, through the parliament.
This system has worked well through 2 world wars and all conflicts the ADF has served in, however, if we were stuck with a DJT-type of Prime Minister; the Chiefs of our ADF would find themselves in a highly conflicted situation.
As Mr Turnbull says, no matter the party, 'small c' conservatism is what is needed when dealing with international allies, otherwise we might be ordered into a conflict that we all know would be detrimental to our oaths of loyalty and our natural aversion to unjust conflicts.
This is the nightmare scenario where international peace and cooperation treaties are put at real risk.
I can assure all US voters that the world's democracies watch US politics with serious interest and a great deal of apprehension when someone like DJT could get into the White House or, worse still, return to the Oval Office.
Of course, we can't vote to have a say who heads up America; yet we could be forced to face unjust acts of aggression if we adhere to our commitments as a staunch ally of the US.
So, in November, please America; choose wisely.
Kind regards, especially to all my good mates in the U.S. Bill H.
From Australia.
Australia has been a long term and genuine ally and friend of the United States of America.
Politics aside, Malcolm Turnbull is nobody's fool and doesn't suffer fools gladly. His premiership in this country was characterised by a respect for the primacy of our constitution, the rule of law and upholding our long term friendship with the United States of America. He speaks with the benefits of credible experience and a demonstrated commitment to upholding democracy everywhere.
You should be more concerned with crap hole Australia.
Doesn't Trump look at his own daughter Ivanka the same way he looks at Vladimir Putin? Creepy 🤢🤮
@vancitye- Trump is too old for women now so he cast his daughter aside and only engages in bromances. He likes the short balding ones with a Napolean complex and the mark of Satan branded way deep down into his dark red blackened murderous soul. Some say Trump is licking more than Putin's boots and it is not a drippy ice cream cone. When Trump was President, Russia called Washington DC Kremlin West.

@@wesleygordon1645 what part is creepy: the PM comments or mine
A true leader speaking plainly about the threat Donald Trump poses to the US and the world.
Im an Australian and when Turnbull was Prime Minster he was part of the Liberal Party. Here the Liberal Party is considered a center right party in our 2 party system, Labour being centre left. The most extreme radical right wing parties we have don't even get more than 5% of the vote in general elections and even they don't have the same lunatic politicians that Republican Party does in the United States. Yet the GOP is supported by nearly half of your country?
Its just mind blowing and the rest of the world is literally laughing at what a joke America has become. That the "leaders of the free world" has a major party who's leader and followers now believe in everything western democracies have spent the last 100 years fighting against.
Also you wonder why the middle east and Latin American countries can't stand you people? Because since the end of WW2 you've overthrown or attempted to overthrow the governments so many poorer countries in the name of "spreading democracy" (when in essence it was just to steal oil and be modern imperialists). You know how hollow the whole "democracy" argument sounds when you have a mad man like Donald Trump who wants to destroy it in your own country?
What the world is telling America right now; stop trying to interfere with other countries, stop supporting the genocide in Gaza and focus on fixing your own country so Donald Trump doesn't get back into power and potentially destroy the world as we know it.
He wasn't exactly popular during his term, but he's a million times better than Trump!
AND the horrible orange JOKE EVERYONE saw that he was. What a buffoon he is -- impossible to imagine how he could have been allowed through the doors of our White House.
Leader of what?
djt is not a conservative nor a unifying force for good nor a benevolent force in the world nor a poetic statesman. His philosophy for order and peace ? I will let you answer that one...Has he ever shown himself to have a vision for the world in a positive direction ? It's always a conflict, he is always pointing the finger at someone else.

Turnbull added "oh I intended 250 thousand".

Unfortunately, Australian voters do not value articulate, intelligent leaders. To be successful in Australian politics, you must play the blokely buffoon and disguise your untelligence.

Malcolm Turnbull is a man of immense character and honesty and took on one of the most powerful people in Australia and did NOT kowtow to him
Greetings from Europe. Mr. Turnbull described it perfectly.
I would say in Europe the sense is even more alarmist, since that terrible Russian aggression against Ukraine is at our doorsteps and Putin is already openly threatening Poland and the Baltics. And yes, we make contingencies on how to proceed and defend ourselves without Amerika, strengthen our own weapons industry to become less dependent from Amerika. There are talks about strengthening our own nuclear capabilities in which Germany would become a nuclear power next to France and the UK. Those are all discussions now, but they will form the roadmap once Trump is back in power. We feel utterly threatened by Russia and the US is letting us down. We feel we have no choice.
The issue is that Trump isn't the only one within the Republican party with those views. The USA is no longer a reliable partner and the rest of the west needs to make accommodations for that.
