Morning everyone. Donald Trump’s post of a picture of himself as a Jesus Christ-like figure has caused such widespread revulsion that it was soon deleted. He also launched an extraordinary attack on the pope, while Tehran signalled hope for more talks even as the US blockade of the strait of Hormuz began and the price of oil spiked to over US$100 a barrel again.
At home, Angus Taylor promised a Trump-style crackdown on immigration, there were more calls for a gas tax, and Harry and Meghan will bring their “love language” to Australia.
