I read through the Turnbull/Trump conversation & about half of the Mexican.
I'll only comment about the aussie one as that one I am familiar with..
I think Trump is just a plain speaker & everything he said is actually pretty true.
It is not a deal that he would want highlighted in the media as it would make him look a bit stupid & inconsistent unless people read on to realise it was Obama's deal, not his.
The truth is that these are not 'good people' that are being hoisted on the US. These are people who have run amok, destroyed millions of dollars worth of buildings, where attacks and rape have been common(so we are told) & perpetrators not identified.
You can bet your bottom dollar that when it comes to handing over details to US authorities, all that will be given is the names, countries, past occupations etc
Turnbull says that the whole point of them being there & not in Australia is that this country can't be seen to be rewarding them in any way, even if they are good people. I agree. But I think sending some to US is a reward.
Your pres is right, it was a rotten deal for Obama to get into, what did the US get out of it? They got something, I forget what, but honestly, this is like when you offloaded that rotten horse that used to kick you. A YES!!! moment for Australia.

Just read what our side of the deal was-to take on some US prisoners. That's a pretty stupid thing for us to do too. We should just say no to the illegals and stick to it.

Are some of the people in this re-settlement deal coming from Manus Island?
That would be quite a twist of history for you.............no?

After having read the transcript between our PM and your Pres......one part made me giggle.....when Trump says "I will get killed for this".....and Turnbull just says "No you won't" It was an interesting stranscript because it gives an idea into how they think or feel, and both in a way, have made valid comments worth thinking, and putting ourselves into their positions, how would we have felt or dealt with it?
