DONALD Trump devotee Cory Bernardi has asked the Senate to roll out the red carpet for the US President if he visits Australia later this year.

Mr Trump is scheduled to attend an APEC leaders’ summit in Papua New Guinea in November, prompting speculation in Washington that he might stop over in Australia on the way.

Senator Bernardi today successfully moved that the Senate ask the Government to invite the President to address a joint sitting of the Australian Parliament.

Former US presidents George W Bush, George H Bush and Bill Clinton were all granted the rare privilege of addressing the federal Parliament.

President George W Bush’s 2003 speech caused international headlines after then Greens leader Bob Brown and Senator Kerry Nettle heckled the US leader about the Gulf War.

In the lead up to the 2016 US election, Labor leader Bill Shorten described Mr Trump as “barking mad’’.
