ALBAWABA - Australia's US Ambassador Kevin Rudd recently made headlines after deleting comments criticizing Donald Trump on social media in the past, right after his win in the 2024 US Elections against Kamala Harris.
After deleting his comments, Rudd said on Thursday, Nov. 7 that what he said, didn't reflect what the Australian government thinks, as reported by The Guardian.
Donald Trump officially secured his second-term win as the 47th President of the United States garnering 295 votes compared to Harris' 226 votes, according to AP News. Trump's victory was first shared by Fox News and the New York Post despite being three votes away from winning.

Rudd's comment was made on Musk's X (formerly known as Twitter) on Jun. 1, 2020, as he referred to Donald Trump as "the most destructive president in history" referring to his first term as the president of the United States.
In his comments, he further claimed that he uses "Christianity, the church, and the bible to justify violence". Rudd added that Fox News feeds on this as well.
Kevin Rudd became trending on social media platforms as pro-Trump supporters demanded the 47th president of the United States to sack him.
One user wrote, "Kevin Rudd is trending because millions of Australians are calling for President Trump to SACK him. And I agree!"
According to The Guardian, when Trump was asked about Rudd in an interview on British TV, he said that Australia's US Ambassador is "not the brightest bulb" and "nasty".
