Key: "Donald Trump is driving very much an America First and a more isolationist kind of view. Actually, it's quite different, it's a very different foreign policy than we've ever seen. So that probably doesn't help New Zealanders much. But on balance, I think he's probably better for the economy.“

Jesus fucking christ. What a stupid take.

Remember, Key has been shown to have close ties to the CCP. The CCP wants to destabilise the US's position on the global stage, and this feeds into that.

I bet there's influence from Peter Theil in this, too.
