Abstract
Since the 2016 US election, as across much of the world, Australian media has been fixated on the ongoing political dramas of President Donald Trump. Historically, Australia and the United States have a close relationship, forged over many years. The nations share a similar cultural heritage as former British colonies but with significant differences nuanced by Australia’s long-standing links to the UK. National security has effectively been underwritten by the United States since 1942 when the Australia, New Zealand, and United States Security Treaty, or ANZUS, defense alliance was established.1 Our central interest is in how the Australian fixation with the US president is being played out in Australian mainstream media.
