Key: "Donald Trump is driving very much an America First and a more isolationist kind of view. Actually, it’s quite different, it’s a very different foreign policy than we’ve ever seen. So that probably doesn’t help New Zealanders much. But on balance, I think he’s probably better for the economy.“

    Key was the worst PM of this century, though Luxon is trying to delve deeper.

      Key was actually very left leaning in a lot of aspects, like benefits for example. It’s part of the reason he held Labour off for three terms.

    Donald Trump is driving a “me and my rich friends first you and the poor never” kind of policy. Just shut the ever loving fuck up already. Trump said this and that and we’re all fucked im so over it

      Remember, Key has been shown to have close ties to the CCP. The CCP wants to destabilise the US’s position on the global stage, and this feeds into that.

        I bet there’s influence from Peter Theil in this, too.

      It’s because he’s the last competent leader National has had.

    Indeed. Then he blathers on about how Kamala would introduce more “red tape” and Trump would have a freer energy policy (coal I guess?). Overall, just a very weird, disconnected thought process from Key.
