Before midnight on Wednesday, 6 November 2024 in Australia, news out of America was that Donald John Trump, court declared rapist, convicted fraudster and national security risk, was set to be elected as the 47th U.S. president having been its 45th president from 2017 to 2021.

Trump aka 'Putin's Bitch' declared victory after he reached and past the 270 Electoral College votes required to be declared elected - depending on which U.S. news outlet one was viewing - by around 6pm AEDST.

At first, second and third glance Australia remains unimpressed by the man and the politician.

There were isolated but genuine expressions of pleasure from some international quarters....
