Q: Do you trust this President, Mr Dutton?

Dutton is obviously very nervous about this question:

David, I said in relation to President Trump I thought the scenes we saw coming out of the White House, the treatment of President Zelenskyy, was a disgrace and appalling. I stand by those comments

Q: Do you trust him was the question?

Dutton:

We trust the US, and I don’t know the President. I’ve not met him. The Prime Minister obviously has been able to.

Q: You’re not willing to say you trust him?

Dutton:

I don’t know Donald Trump is my point. My point is who I trust is the Australian people. My job is to stand up for our country’s interests which is what I did when we negotiated the AUKUS deal with President Biden.

This is a very, very different Dutton to the one earlier this year who was saying he would get on better with Trump, because he was the sort of personality Trump liked.

Now he is all Mariah doesn’t Carey ‘I don’t know her’ about him? Sure, Jan. Sure.
