The actor son of mining magnate Andrew ‘Twiggy’ Forrest has attacked Donald Trump’s re-election as president of the United States.

Sophia Forrest, who identifies as non-binary and uses they/them pronouns, shared the new Vanity Fair cover featuring Trump, 78, on her Instagram Stories on Thursday with the caption “America, you make us sick.” .

Alongside a glitzy Trump, the cover lists the president-elect’s legal troubles, including the fact that he was convicted of felonies related to a money payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels and still has charges pending for his efforts. for reversing his 2020 electoral defeat. .

Sophia’s four-word spray stands in stark contrast to a gushing Instagram post Sophia shared in April 2023, where they smiled from ear to ear as they posed for a photo with former US President Barack Obama.

“When you meet Obama but a little piece of pepper steals the show,” the caption read.

The comment was a light-hearted reference to a fashion faux pas in the photo where a small peppercorn was visible on Sophia’s teeth.

Sophia’s billionaire father and Fortescue founder was more diplomatic when asked about his opinion on Trump’s return as the 47th president of the United States.

He called Trump an “economic pragmatist” when questioned by reporters after Fortescue’s annual general meeting in Perth on Wednesday, hours before television networks projected Trump would return to the White House.

Forrest said he believed Australia’s major iron ore exports were on a secure footing under Trump as he was “very positive about fossil fuels” but also that the transition to renewable energy would continue.

Fortescue, under Forrest when he was chief executive and now executive chairman, has set its sights on becoming a renewable energy powerhouse in Australia and the United States, having built a green hydrogen plant in the US state of Arizona and has established a renewable energy plant based in New York. investment fund.

“The biggest increase in investment that the United States has had has been, of course, renewable energy, so he (Donald Trump) will keep that economic engine going,” he said.

Forrest also said the relationship between China, the United States and its allies would also be stable under Trump.

‘The largest trading partner that the United States has had and will have is China, let’s not forget that they spread each other’s bread.

“The amount of horsepower in the tank of China’s economy and its ability to self-stimulate is phenomenal.”

Trump’s election victory not only catapults him back to the White House, but also gives him respite from looming court battles and mounting legal bills.

Special counsel Jack Smith is already in talks with Justice Department officials to close the two federal cases brought against the newly elected president, NBC News and CNN reported Wednesday, just hours after Trump’s victory.

They said the action was being taken in light of the Justice Department’s long-standing policy that a sitting U.S. president cannot be criminally indicted or prosecuted.

Trump pledged during the election campaign against Vice President Kamala Harris to fire Smith “within two seconds” of taking office.

A US president does not have the authority to fire a special counsel, but Trump could appoint an attorney general who could do so.

He could also have simply ordered the Justice Department to drop the charges.

Smith, who was appointed by Merrick Garland, President Joe Biden’s attorney general, filed two cases against Trump – for conspiracy to overturn the results of the 2020 election and for mishandling top secret documents after leaving the White House.

The election interference case is ongoing in Washington, but no trial date has been set and has been complicated by the Supreme Court’s ruling in July that a former president has broad immunity from criminal prosecution.

Trump is accused of conspiracy to defraud the United States and conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding: the session of Congress convened to certify the victory of Biden, who was violently attacked on January 6, 2021 by a mob of his supporters.

The Republican is also accused of attempting to disenfranchise American voters with his false claims that he won the 2020 election.

His documents case was dismissed by a Trump-appointed federal judge in Florida on the grounds that Smith was illegally appointed.
