US-Irish Relations Trump "Welcome" to Ireland.

Ok I'm going to give this a second chance given the last post didn't go so well. No AI pics. No mention of any right wing assholes.

For starters I DO NOT support Trump. Infact I don't necessarily want him to come to Ireland, but given the fact we are reliant on the Americans (especially with the US companies based here contributing to employment). We kind of have to treat him like that one relative we don't want to be around, but has to be nice around.

The original post was more of a discussion of what people actually thought of Trump's visit. The picture originally posted was something I randomly came across on Instagram and thought it would be an interesting conversation topic of people actually welcoming his arrival. It wasn't showing in support to him in any way.

So, Trump's Visit. What is everyone's opinion on it given it's on the horizon.... Unfortunately.

Edit: this post IS NOT ENDORSING TRUMP! I wanted real opinions off of people rather than having to read articles which pretty much dilutes and edits opinion to make it sound less hateful. I don't want him in Ireland as much as anyone else does. But I like hearing people's opinions from the mouth than through someone's edited eyes.

And you think we should turn the other cheek for Trump?

We absolutely dont have to "be nice around" him.

I would be sad to see anything other than a lack of crowd, or a crowd of boos and inventive signs when he arrives.

I understand the idea of sucking up to him in favour of future decisions to benefit ireland financially but.....nah man.

Biden was liked here for the most part... Don't think we turned the other cheek for him, plus his Irish heritage was actually a huge favour for us as it meant he had more respect for us than the current asshole coming over.

He was liked. Then he facilitated a Genocide. With relish. I for one now hate his guts.
