Turnbull: Again, sir, no need for that kind of talk. Anyway, I want to congratulate you and Mike Pence on being sworn in now. I know we are both looking to make our relationship which is very strong and intimate, stronger than ever.
Trump: Okay, let’s not go too far with that ‘intimate’ stuff, Malcolm, I’m not gay, you know.
Turnbull: Not what I meant at all, Mr. President. I just believe you and I have similar backgrounds, unusual for politicians, more businessmen, and I look forward to working…
