Why a Donald Trump White House spells disaster for Albanese

Albanese is no Joe Biden and Dutton is no Donald Trump. But the presidential result will have big consequences for our politics. If Trump wins, the PM confronts a series of diabolical dilemmas.

After months of being blocked by political rivals, Anthony Scaramuccci had finally landed his coveted White House job.Just 10 days later, the fast-talking Wall Street financier was unceremoniously fired, his wife had filed for divorce and he'd missed the birth of their child. And if that wasn't enough, Scaramucci no longer owned the company that made him a millionaire -- he'd been forced to sell it to take on the role of White House communications director.Scaramucci's abrupt dismissal on July 31, 2017 completed a saga that was strange even by the standards of a US presidency that is proving to be unorthodox in any number of ways. / AFP PHOTO / JIM WATSON
