"There’s a number in the 2026 Lowy Institute Poll that every staffer in the
West Wing should have stapled to their forehead.
That’s the percentage of Australians who do NOT have confidence in Donald Trump
to do the right thing in world affairs. Seventy-nine per cent. In the 22-year
history of the Lowy Poll, no American president has ever been distrusted like
this. Not Dubya at peak Iraq. Not Trump Mark I, which we all assumed was rock
bottom. Turns out rock bottom had a trapdoor, and the trapdoor opens straight
into the grease trap behind the Mar-a-Lardo kitchen.
And it gets better. 60% of Australians didn’t just tick “not much confidence.”
They ticked “no confidence AT ALL.” The strongest option on the form. The
polling equivalent of writing “get fucked” in the comments box, in texta,
underlined twice.
Let me translate 79% for the American readers, because your media won’t. 79% of
Australians wouldn’t trust this man to watch their beer while they went to the
dunny. 79% of Australians wouldn’t invite the Mango Mussolini to a shithouse
backyard BBQ if he brought his own screw-worm-riddled American steaks and a
slab. And given your cattle industry is currently fighting off actual
flesh-eating screw worms while ours is clean, that joke writes itself, sends
itself, and does its own bloody encore.
To put 79% in perspective: you cannot get 79% of Australians to agree on
anything. Not the date of Australia Day. Not rugby league versus AFL. Not
whether Sydney or Melbourne is more insufferable. But this convicted felon
united 4 out of 5 of us in the shared, settled conviction that he cannot be
trusted to do the right thing. That’s not a polling result. That’s a bloody
referendum."
