  Abbott was nothing like Trump. If anything, our closest Prime Minister in recent times was Scotty from Marketing, who I would still say is a pretty far cry.

    Scotty was absolutely Trump like. I’ll go with at least Abbot held a hose, but neoliberal scum hangs on both.

  Abbott, love him or loathe him (likely the latter), has a deep respect for the institutions of this country and is fiercely loyal to his friends.

  Abbott is an absolute bonehead but he serves with a higher calling than his own self enrichment.
