According to a report published in The Washington Post, Donald Trump prematurely ended his telephone call with Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull over the weekend, and people want to know why.
Using the #ReasonsTrumpHangsUp hashtag, Twitter users speculated about the possible reasons the call may have turned sour.
