Dire warning issued to Anthony Albanese after Kamala’s election loss: ‘Start packing your bags, buddy’

Anthony Albanese’s social media post congratulating Donald Trump on winning the US presidential election has been flooded with comments that he is the next left-wing leader to face electoral extinction.

“You’ll be out of here at the next election,” someone replied.

“The world is rising up against you, weak leftists.”

“Start packing your bags buddy, you’re out of the lodge,” said another.

In his social media post, Mr Albanese said: “Australians and Americans are great friends and true allies.”

“By working together, we can ensure that the partnership between our nations and peoples remains strong into the future,” he said.

However, some Australians were not convinced of the Prime Minister’s sincerity.

“What a dishonest message,” one person wrote.

“You’ve done nothing but talk smugly about him for the past ten years. We can only hope that in Australia they throw you out at the next election.’

On Thursday, Albanese announced that he had called Trump “to personally congratulate him on his election victory.”

“We talked about the importance of the Alliance and the strength of the Australia-US relationship across security, AUKUS, trade and investment,” Mr Albanese said.

“I look forward to working together in the interests of both our countries.”

Mr Albanese has a very different attitude towards it Mr Trump, then six months into his first term as president, during a 2017 question and answer session for the Splendor in the Grass music festival, which many pointed out after it recently resurfaced online.

Mr Albanese, who was in the opposition at the time, responded when asked how he would deal with Mr Trump if elected. He responded “with trepidation” and went on to say that the brash real estate mogul turned politician was “terrified of that.” me’.

Sunrise host Nat Barr suggested Albanese may have to apologize after Trump was elected president of the United States on Wednesday night, while Albanese was probed further about the matter by reporters on Thursday morning.

“No, I look forward to working with President Trump,” he emphasized.

‘I think I have shown that I am able to work with world leaders and develop relationships with them that are positive.

“And I think in the two and a half years I have shown that I have had the honor of being Prime Minister.”

While ministers have taken a calm and polite approach to the new government, Trump’s stunning victory has reportedly sent electoral anxiety rippling through Labor’s ranks.

The ABC reported that an unnamed Labor source said there were clear lessons for the left-wing parties from Trump’s banishment of Democrat Kamala Harris, who along with her electoral college is set to lose the popular vote.

Before Trump turned the tide, it had been twenty years since a Republican presidential candidate won the popular vote, namely George W. Bush in 2004.

One reason for this is Trump’s enormous appeal to male voters, traditionally a bastion of electoral strength for the Australian Labor Party.

The unnamed Labor source told the ABC that Americans who voted on “hip pocket issues” were “personally let down” by the price rise under Democrat Joe Biden, despite falling official inflation rates in the US.

Trump is on the verge of winning the popular vote, the first time a Republican candidate has done so since 2004

It is an electoral nightmare facing the Albanian government in Australia, where wage increases have lagged behind skyrocketing prices over the past three years, according to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).

The international organization said Australia has seen “one of the largest falls in real wages among OECD countries”.

“Real wages rose in 2024 for the first time in almost three years, but households remain under pressure from the cost of living,” an OECD report said in July.

This left Australian workers even worse off than their rich world counterparts in Spain, Germany and the US, where wages have also fallen in real terms.

Another unnamed Labor source told the ABC that Trump’s opposition to the Paris climate deal is “making life difficult for us” on energy and emissions policy.
