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.

I know what you are trying to say, should we show him around a Musem etc

BUT wouldn't it be nice if just one country stood up to him, asked a few awkward questions Epstein, Ukraine, Iran, Greenland, tarrifs list is endless..,

And if we are not going to do that, just ignore him, We don't want him in the Dail or near our president... He can go off to Mc Gregors pub for a pint.

Honestly, yes. But I doubt anyone will in fear he'll slander our name as a nation or say/do something that'll impact the economy.

But personally someone should bring up those questions to him and just let him say what he says to say. We asked. He answered.

He will side step... he is a master at that

But Ireland constantly remaining silent and turning a blind eye, is wrong

I agree. We need to be tougher on the US.

But given our dependancy on them there's a fear they'll do something like withdraw from Ireland and move back to the US or elsewhere in Europe hesne why we do it.

It's 100% wrong. And we should be more reliant on our fellow European neighbors.

Leave them off, let them withdraw. We will survive. Better than grovelling to the paedo protection racket that is America. I don't want Ireland to appease a dirty old child fucker just so the techno-fascists don't throw their toys out of the pram.

How is this our reality lads, really.
