SYDNEY, Australia —
“The Donald and I, we are winning and winning in the polls,” said Mr. Turnbull (whose actual poll numbers, like Mr. Trump’s, are nothing to boast about). “We are winning so much. We are winning like we have never won before.”
“We’re winning in the real polls,” he continued, to gales of laughter from the audience. “You know, the online polls.” He added, “They are so easy to win. I have this Russian guy.”
Turnbull joked about the leaders’ first face-to-face meeting last month in New York, which had been preceded by much analysis about its potential awkwardness in light of the January call. “It was beautiful,” Mr. Turnbull said. “It was the most beautiful putting-me-at-ease ever.”
