You're wrong. As a New Zealander (where our conservative government bent the rules to make him a citizen), I can only emphasize how strongly I will care if that giant piece of shit moves to reside in my nation. I'm not negating your point (I upvoted you) and I don't blame you for wanting to lose him, but just because you shovel your shit elsewhere doesn't mean it don't stink.
This is how the world can finally come together. We can create a New Old Australia, using the island-building techniques the Chinese government have been trying to develop but instead using it for the benefit of all. Literally no one wants these assholes. Let's make them their own giant sand island and send them there. No Aborigines or any other nativelanders need be displaced like in the past. We just... Eject them to Billionaire Island and tell them they've entered the final level of capitalism, they are allowed no outside resources and must establish for themselves (brilliant and enterprising and egotistical as we reassure them they are) how to become the Ultimate Capitalist. Tell them it's even televised. Then if they ever get too noisy we obviously need a way to forcibly erode the island etc. Engineers can figure out the details.
It’ll never get to island erosion status… just make it a gradual slope so they get to reap the rewards of their environmental abuse as the sea level rises.
And then make it real life Fortnite.
You're hired
Now that’s what I can battle royale!
Why would a totalitarian psychopath choose to go to a more progressive country?
I can think of a reason, New Zealand is smaller, and he may think he can gain bigger political influence there.
He paid to position JD Vance where he wanted him, imagine the damage he could do in New Zealand with the kind of money he has.
