In a call with Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull last Saturday, Donald Trump reportedly blasted the foreign leader over a refugee agreement, and bragged about the size of his electoral win, the Washington Post reports.

According to the report, Trump, who spoke with five world leaders throughout the day, told Turnbull his “was the worst call by far,” including the one he shared with Russian president Vladimir Putin.

As reports of the call surfaced, Internet users took to Twitter to mock the president’s diplomatic skills:

If Reince Priebus loved America, he'd connect Trump's calls to actors playing world leaders. "Line 1 is Dingo Dundee from Australia sir."

2. "Takes a certain sort of idiot-savant genius to start a foreign policy crisis with Australia"
