Correct me if I'm wrong but I think all Trump-endorsed candidates lost during the last elections, didn't they? His influence is waning fast, so in desperation he tries to pull through with xenophobia since that's what got him his first victory. But seems like more and more people treat him like a jester rather than "anti-establishment" candidate like they did the first time.

I don't think ALL, i think the liberal media is overstating that part. I feel his influence has waned since he passed the rubicon with the Jan6 thing and the media blacking him out. However, there is still a hardcore movement of 30%+ of the GOP that is still MAGA4LIFE. The way US politicians win is by getting hardcore special intrest. He gets the hardcore 30%, the hardcore anti abortion, the hardcore etc etc

Trump had the advantage ins 2016 since he was "new" and was going against a stained candidate. However, he is the one that is stained now. I think the majority of Americans is enjoying the peace and are happy that he is not causing some chaos weekly or the news is not amplifying that chaos.

Did the reporter study at the "Indian Institute of Journalism" /s?

It doesn't look like MAGA faction within Republicans has what it got to compete against establishment.

The fact that have re-elected an obvious rat do many times basically confirms that the USA is in a state of terminal decline, no matter is said on the control, as if the electing of sleepy Joe is not enough

Australia's trade with China has been collapsing ever since Russia invaded Ukraine and the sanctions started. Europe is not buying Russia's iron ore anymore, nor its metallurgical coal. Japan and South Korea are not buying Russian LNG in the same amounts. So guess who is.

Iron ore, metallurgical coal, and LNG are the main Australian exports to China. Or should I say "were" if this continues.

China banned several products from Aus like agricultural, and stuff like lobsters and wine. Those really took a hit. But they are not essential.

Iron ore however from Australia is seen to be difficult to replace. There were other options even before the war in Ukraine. When sino aus tensions were already very high. It seems aus iorn ore is still best option in terms of quality needed, the transport costs etc.

Unfortunately Murdoch's media empire is still as healthy as ever. They are the ones backing the likes of Fox News and other right wing news outlets throughout English language media.

Unfortunately this is Sydney morning herald. Not Murdoch media. It's owned by richest woman in Australia and at one point the world, Gina Reinhart the mining heiress.

I ignore Murdoch rubbish rags. However it seems smh isn't that much better. Despite usually being known as more centre and left leaning. Their motto actually says independent news lol. In reality it's just following US propaganda

The most complete/original video
Xi walking along when Trudeau stops him, then proceeds to school Trudeau in under a minute.
Apparently in the video, Xi said 天真 (naive) after walking away

This new video will go down in history and replace Trudeau's previous fails at G20.

I saw some tweets which also pointed out Canada's dumb blonde FM directly calling out Xi Jinping's name in an interview without even a basic honorific like Mr. in front.
