'The most ill-informed, under-prepared, and psychologically ill-equipped president in US history'
Fergus Hunter


Former foreign affairs minister Gareth Evans is urging Australia to reduce its dependence on the United States alliance and accept China as a legitimate "global rule maker".

Mr Evans labelled Mr Trump as "manifestly the most ill-informed, under-prepared, ethically challenged and psychologically ill-equipped president in US history".

The former senior member of the Hawke and Keating Labor governments also called on the government to put "more bucks" into defence spending, potentially including nuclear-powered submarines, to be more self-reliant.

"Less United States does not mean walking away from the alliance, from which we, of course, profoundly benefit in terms of access to intelligence and high-end armaments," Mr Evans, now Australian National University chancellor, said in the speech to the National Press Club on Thursday.

"But less reflexive support for everything the US chooses to do is long overdue."

Hillary would never warn Assad that she is going to eat chocolate cake and launch tomahawk missiles at his empty airbase.

"Putin is President of Russia. Russia is strong, we are very very strong."

Yes, those are the words of a 70 year old man, playing at being President of the United States. I'm reminded of the Dick and Jane books I learned to read on.
