How is this thread still going when the Australian PM himself called BS on this fake new story?

Remember, he doesn't have any intelligence briefings.

He didn't while he was President Elect.
Trump has admitted to not going to intelligence briefings because he's like a smart person.
U.S. military officials revealed Wednesday that President Trump’s first covert counterterrorism operation was carried out without sufficient intelligence, ground support or adequate backup preparations, according to reports.

Australia has a HUGE Ace card to play though if Trump wants to get dirty with us.

On election night, 13 December, the Coalition won the largest majority government in Australian history, winning 91 seats to Labor's 36. Labor suffered a 6.5 percent swing against it and its caucus was cut almost in half, suffering a 30-seat swing. Labor was left with five fewer seats than it had when Whitlam took the leadership. The Coalition also won a 37–25 majority in the Senate
