Look out Australia – Donald Trump Jr is coming to town.
The son of the 45th president of the United States, who has been described as “the voice of undiluted Trumpism”, said he will be making a three city speaking tour of Australia this July to talk about the “disease of woke identity politics and cancel culture … that has clearly taken hold (in Australia).”
Organisers said they expected that the tour, which will run from July 9-11 and hit Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane, would draw “significant” attention due to Mr Trump’s “polarising” reputation and “divisive, anti-politically correct stances”.
Mr Trump said that he looked forward to returning to Australia, which he visited in his youth.
“I actually spent a month backpacking around Australia in my (third) year of university and absolutely loved it,” Mr Trump said.
“It’s a great country full of great people which is why it is so sad to see what is happening there.”
“I have a huge fanbase in Australia and after speaking with some of them it’s clear the same disease of wok identity politics and cancel culture that’s crippled the US has clearly taken hold there.”
“It’s not good. It is the biggest existential threat we face in the West and is literally the decay of Western society,” he said.
Along with being an author, businessman, and TV personality, Mr Trump also has a strong social media presence with 6.4 million followers on Instagram where he is known as the “Meme Wars General”.
He has been one of his father’s staunchest defenders on social media, amplifying official Trump campaign messaging and condemning the recent indictment of the former president by New York prosecutor Alvin Bragg.
“This is political weaponisation of our government against its citizens and against political opposition and resistance like we’ve never seen before,” he said on Instagram around the time of the indictment.
“This is the kind of stuff that would make Mao, Stalin, Pol Pot, and other sociopaths blush.”
Mr Trump’s tour is sponsored by Turning Point, the same company that brought out UK Brexit leader Nigel Farage last year.
A spokesman for the organiser said, “We are thrilled to welcome Donald Trump Jr to Australia for his first speaking tour.”
“As a controversial, outspoken figure, we believe he will offer an exciting and unique perspective on a range of issues that are important to everyday Australians.”
