Clive Palmer – Australia’s Donald Trump

I wonder if Palmer’s rise and fall will predict what will happen to Donald Trump.

Wikipedia: Clive Frederick Palmer (born 26 March 1954) is an Australian businessman, politician and owner of Mineralogy.[8] He has iron ore, nickel and coal holdings.[9] Palmer’s net worth was estimated by Forbes magazine to be US$550 million as of January 2014;[10] yet by 2015, Palmer was not ranked in the wealthiest forty Australians.[7] In the same year the BRW magazine estimated his wealth at A$1.40 billion.

In 2013, he established the Palmer United Party and contested the federal election. Palmer won the Queensland seat of Fairfax in the Australian House of Representatives whilst his party won a shared balance of power with three Senators elected, one each in Queensland, Western Australia and Tasmania.
