Joint press conference, President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Scott Morrison

Who's that?

Australia.

When you are President of the United States eventually you meet all the world's finest people.

It's a good presser. Apparently the journalists were all given a sedative before attending because they're all uncharacteristically well behaved. Maybe they're all foreign and were taught manners as children.





What would you think if Trump pronounced our country as Americer? 

The Prime Minister pronounces his own country as Australier. And this intrusive R is self-correcting. Chiner in the first instance and four words later adjusted correctly to China. Showing the speaker knows how to say it correctly and he knows when he's saying it incorrectly. It's annoying because you know you're being f'd with as listener and my impulse is to hit him on the side of the head to get the Rs to drop into the right places.

Best not to invite me. I wouldn't do well.
