Donald Trump has stored Malcolm Turnbull as a weak leader after the former Prime Minister Minister told Daily Mail that Australia cannot rely on the US to defend us against China.
The American supreme commander has used his social social platform to attack Mr Turnbull, who was in power in the White House during his first term.
“Malcolm Turnbull, the former Prime Minister of Australia who always led that beautiful country of” behind, “never understood what was going on in China, nor did he have the capacity to do this,” said President Trump.
“I always thought he was a weak and ineffective leader and, clearly Australians, I agreed.”
President Trump's character attack was posted on Truth Social after Mr Turnbull Daily Mail Australia warned, the US is not allowed to defend Australia militarily in the event that China attacks our coasts.
“You can't accept anything about Donald Trump – it's belonging to his brand is unpredictable,” he told Daily Mail Australia.
“Yes, he is very transactional. I hope that the United States would always come to the help of us under the Anzus Treaty if we were attacked in the Pacific.
“But Mr. Trump has made it very clear, it is part of his brand, part of his style, to be less predictable and he is certainly willing to hire allies.”

The NATO treaty requires all its signatories, including the US, the UK, Germany, Canada and France, to respond militarily if one of the 32-person countries has invaded.
But under the Anzus Treaty of 1951, Americans are only obliged to consult Australia if another country attacks us, but does not necessarily send troops.
“Mr. Trump is deliberately unpredictable – that is his style. We cannot assume that the US would help us, “said Mr Turnbull.
“The obligation in the event that a party is attacked can be consulted – there is no obligation to act.”
In 2018, Mr Turnbull forbade Chinese telecommunications giant Huawei to install the National Broadband Network.
This was a policy that the first Trump administration had adopted later.
It is unlikely that the Trump Australia government will give a postponement of 25 percent rates on steel and aluminum when they enter into force on 12 March.
