Surrounded by press in the Oval Office, Trump dubbed the Prime Minister a "man of titanium", purposefully choosing a harder metal than George W Bush's "man of steel" label for John Howard, the last Australian leader to be honoured with a full state visit to the United States.
"I would say a man of titanium — titanium is much tougher than steel, he is a man of titanium," he told reporters while flanked by their wives First Lady Melania Trump and Jenny Morrison. "He's a man of titanium, believe me, I have to deal with this guy.
"You might think he's a nice guy, OK, he's a man of real, real strength and a great guy."

The Cia setup shell companies to buy titanium from the soviet union during the cold War to build the sr71.
Fun fact.

Melania is the White Queen (PM's spouse wore black).
imo, the Red Carpet thing was for a QMarker-Timing-Optics.
Did you note--in Melania's slide show vid of the evening (POTUS Tw'd)--the large clusters of white grapes on the tables? Harvest, indeed. :)

Scott Morrison is a dick. Mentored by Brian Houston a pastor who started Hillsong Church and whose father was a pedo. Morrison is a dick. Plasticine would have been more realistic. I did vote for Morrison but only because the opposition was on the Hillary side of the political divide.

Now you know how we feel with Mitch McConnel and other old neocons cozying up to Trump. It’s probably for the best though, since turning the least corrupt politicians to our side uses less resources and provides more social/political stability than trying to dump all of our carts all at once.

im pretty sure its a throwback , because George Bush called previous Australian PM 'man of steel' for (dishonorably) backing him in the coalition to destroy Iraq / Saddam Hussein
but what value Trump sees in this otherwise petty one-upmanship, im unclear
