In interview with Nigel Farage, Trump says ‘I hear he’s not the brightest bulb’ when asked about Rudd

    It has now been reported that the question and details about Rudd were fed to Farage by none other than the current CEO of Sky News Australia, on request of the former CEO of Sky News Australia who now runs GB News, the network that employs Farage.

    I’d be highly surprised if Farage would have even thought to bring this up otherwise.

      Well fair play, it made headlines in Australia and generated them publicity.

      For a CEO of a media company they at least know how to do their job. Would be better if they used their power for good…

        I’m not sure the objective here was as benign as ‘generate some headlines’.

        That’s also not the job of a news organisation, which Sky News proclaims to be.

    I heard he was a little bit nasty.

    I think he’s right that Rudd is nasty 😆 I have my doubts that he “heard” it from anyone, though, or that he knew anything about Rudd until Farage read him that tweet.

      It’s obvious he has no idea who Rudd is, he was just going off Farage’s suggestion. I guess the real news is that Rudd apparently pissed off all the right people.

    I mean. Neither of them are really wrong about what they’re saying. Both are numpties.
