US Embassy in Yarralumla, Canberra.
What the geniuses in the Whitehouse did not seem to factor in is that making enemies of your closest allies exposes you.

As long as you can keep them in line, good and dandy. But if you can't ... (looking at you, Canada) all your closely guarded bullshit suddenly goes into the wild.

Tactically and strategically, one of the stupidest moves made by any declining empire ever. But from this Whitehouse, would expect nothing less.

Left-hand side:
Donald Trump, wearing crown and sable robe, about to hang up 'phone.
On the desk in front of him, a large book titled "Tariffs".
He says:
"It's nothing personal, Aussie guy ...
But there are no "allies"...
... only "adversaries"
and "suckers"!"

Right-hand side:
Anthony Albanese in shirtsleeves, holding phone.
He's surrounded by advisors with charts and documents, one of which is titled " US Aus free trade agreement"
On the wall behind is a chart titled "U.S trade surplus"
He says:
"He wants to reassure us, he doesn't view Australia as an adversary"
