So What! Nothing to do with Trump Meanwhile: Closer to Home Prime Minister Malc0lm Turdbull personally linked to a second multi-million-dollar fraud of taxpayer’s money

He was sick of winning for trump?

And...who benefitted from this “tip”?

RitaPanahi any comment?

SEE other countries, even the USA jail's former con gressman. another supporter of donald See Australia it's good for their souls to be locked up. for a crime or two.

and Trumps odds of being re-elected keep shortening, don’t ever expect to hear anything but an anti Trump sentiment in Australian media though.

Looks like only the best people are Trump supporters.

Shorewife I am on my second bingo card of Trump associates either convicted or in prison...

It is usually considered news when realDonaldTrump associate's are not put in jail.
