The AAP via the Herald Sun (News Corp) reports on a deal between the Australian government and the former U.S. administration. Under the arrangement, people seeking asylum in Australia—who have, controversially, been detained in centres on Nauru and on Manus Island in Papua New Guinea—would have been resettled in the United States. However, according to the story, the plan is now in question due to the change in leadership there.
According to The Guardian , "the U.S. could resettle zero refugees from Manus Island and Nauru and still be 'honouring' the deal."

I'm mentally OVERDRAWN! What's that SIGNPOST up ahead? Where's ROD

That says little however. It's quite obvious that the media has never been on his side for anything he does. They've never been so united against a candidate (and later president) before. The public gets their information from the media. Does that leave much chance for him to have good ratings? If he DID have good ratings do you think the media would admit it? It would go against the grain of everything they've done and said the last two years. CNN gave questions to Hillary ahead of time and worked with the DNC to make sure questions were going to be okay for them. Will THEY admit if Trump does something good?
