Trump signed a $1.5 trillion tax cut into law in December, significantly shaving taxes for corporations and the wealthy while providing more modest breaks for middle-class individuals. When it was his turn to speak, Turnbull returned the favor by complimenting Trump’s tax decision to cut taxes, calling it ‘‘one of the most powerful arguments’’ he is using to persuade lawmakers to cut business taxes back home. In that sense, we’re going to, hopefully, follow in your footprints.’’ ‘‘Here, we’re working very hard to do the same. And you’ve been very successful with it,’’ Trump continued. That was US President Donald Trumps response when sitting alongside Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull on the USS Intrepid aircraft carrier docked. ‘‘We want to do merit-based immigration also,’’ Trump said, adding that such a system ‘‘really protects the interest of Australia and its people. But Trump’s immigration demands have upset lawmakers, mostly Democrats. Turnbull defended his speech, calling it a “good-humored roast,” which was “light-hearted, affectionately light-hearted.” Good thing that Trump has historically proven himself to be the kind of guy who can take a joke.Trump has been arguing for changes to turn the US immigration system into one that is more focused on merit and the skills immigrants can contribute to the United States, and less focused on family ties. But in early May, they had what appeared to be a congenial dinner on the Intrepid in New York City, and Trump sang Turnbull’s praises. Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has been in the international headlines recently after US President Donald Trump reportedly hung up on him, ending an uncomfortable official phone call. On Thursday, a video leaked showing Australia’s Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull. Turnbull began by describing his face-to-face meeting with Trump in New York last month. At a recent event down under, Turnbull’s off the record speech to journalists included mimicking Trump’s attacks on fake news, winning, and ties to Russia all done in the Donald’s now famous hyperbole. Trump and Turnbull’s relationship was initially testy: During a tense phone conversation in February, Trump called it “the worst call by far” that he had had with another world leader. It becomes something completely different and, frankly, alarming when world leaders mock the president. This probably won’t do much to warm up the chilly relationship between President Trump and Australia’s Prime Minister, Malcolm Turnbull. The audience can be heard laughing and clapping throughout. A leaked tape reveals Australian PM Malcolm Turnbull mocking Trump over 'fake polls' and Russia. In todays politics, many ideas are split between and even within all the political parties.Often we find ourselves agreeing on one platform but some topics break our mold. This debate forum is not aligned to any political party. Not the fake polls! They’re the ones we’re not winning in. This is a political forum that is non-biased/non-partisan and treats every persons position on topics equally. We are winning, we are winning like we have never won before. Updated J1:05 am ET 186 CANBERRA, Australia A leaked recording emerged of Australia’s prime minister mocking President Donald Trump, the latest awkward episode between two allied. Though it’s typically off-the-record, Nine News Australia’s political editor, Laurie Oakes (who was not in attendance), leaked the audio of Turnbull’s address, in which he can be heard explicitly mocking Trump’s vernacular and grandiose claims: The Donald and I, we are winning and winning in the polls. Unfortunately for Australian prime minister Malcolm Turnbull - and fortunately for everyone else - he didn’t do that on Wednesday night, when he let loose at Parliament House’s annual Midwinter Ball.

While “if you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all” is a boring and outdated aphorism, “don’t make fun of a fellow world leader to a room full of journalists unless you want it to get out,” is always sound advice to live by.
