The man in the eye of the hurricane is veteran ABC political journalist Chris Uhlmann.
His report on the ABC’s Insiders show about US President Donald Trump at the G20 has gone viral. More than 1 million people have viewed the report on social media.
“People are sharing this Australian journalist’s brutal takedown of Trump’s foreign policy,” blared BuzzFeed.
“Wow. A searing assessment of the President of the United States by political editor @CUhlmann of Australia’s ABC,” tweeted @BraddJaffy from NBC News.
The Hill termed it a “blistering critique”, the Huffington Post UK called it a “savage takedown of Donald Trump”, noting Uhlmann’s observation that Mr Trump had been an “uneasy, lonely, awkward” figure.
“Absolutely damning view from Australia,” tweeted author and historian Anne Applebaum.
And author JK Rowling of Harry Potter fame gave a RT to Insiders host Barrie Cassidy: “What did we learn about @realDonaldTrump at this #G20? @CUhlmann explains.”
By the time I sat down with Michael Rowland and Del Irani on the set of ABC News Breakfast on Monday morning, Uhlmann was splashed across the New York Times.
