PVO: Trump's victory is a crushing blow to Albo's progressive agenda

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

69% : Albo kissed the ring yesterday, issuing an obsequious media statement congratulating Trump on his victory and explaining his respect for the U.S. democratic system.
63% : Since that time he's tried to suck up to Republican VP candidate JD Vance, just in case Trump was successful in his comeback.
58% : Trump hosted him at a state dinner, no less.
55% : While Dutton has more in common with Trump than Anthony Albanese does, the American electoral system and political culture are very different to ours.
49% : In contrast to the attitude Trump must have towards Albanese, it is easy to imagine the returning president hosting Dutton in the Oval Office and lavishing the conservative hardman with praise were he to become PM.
43% : Perhaps the only policy area Trump and Albo might find agreement on is the importance of the AUKUS nuclear submarines plan
40% : After Trump was elected the first time around in 2016, our now-PM said Trump 'scares the s**t out of me'.
39% : If Labor goes backwards at the next election but retains government with the support of the Greens, the deterioration in Albo's relationship with Trump will likely only accelerate.
36% : Anthony Albanese will be bracing for impact as he prepares to come face-to-face with U.S. President-elect Donald Trump for the first timeTrump will almost certainly withdraw the U.S. from the Paris climate change agreement, like he did last time he was president, before Joe Biden reinstated the U.S. to the international agreement.
35% : Compulsory voting is a big difference between our electoral systems, and it is unlikely a figure like Trump would win under such a system.
31% : Perhaps the only policy area Trump and Albo might find agreement on is the importance of the AUKUS nuclear submarines plan - a policy script the Greens have quickly demanded Albo tear up in the wake of Trump's victory.
30% : And what might Trump say about Dutton's nuclear energy policy if asked, as well as Labor's attempts to demonise it?
29% : Yet Albo was so confident that Trump wouldn't win before the U.S. election that he went on the record and confirmed Rudd was going nowhere.

26% : It was not all that long ago that Rudd described Trump as 'nuts' and 'a traitor to the West'.
26% : Indeed, there are reports that Trump may go even further than that in grinding climate action to a halt, by pulling out altogether from the United Nations process that underpins international talks - an even more staggering blow to the world's plans to cut greenhouse gas emissions.
23% : That's if Trump bothers to even deal with him at all.
