Meet the Australian university student who got the attention of Donald Trump and gets $10k/month for posting online

This week The Issue looks at the power of social media in the political world. Brisbane based activist Drew Pavlou got  President Donald Trump interested in the plight of Iranian footballers. It resulted in the President calling Anthony Albanese about the issue at 2 in the morning. But for Pavlou social media is giving him more than influence and power, it is putting food table and $10 thousand in the bank each month. He admits that unlike journalists he takes hard political stances, and discusses his shift from the left to the right of politics. The 26 year old also tells the story of how he was blocked from entering the United States due to a post about pop star Billie Eilish. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
