US Politics

I really doubt there was much meaning to it with Trump going on about a United Ireland. You know what he's like. He likes to whip up the crowd like he does and it's headlines for the "Irish American" voters. It also made lefties in Ireland malfunction hearing it.
I don't think there is much appetite for a United Ireland in the north or the south.

And yes you are right it's the same as the UK it's being invaded I've seen it with my own eyes.

Overall he was in the country less than 48 hours and I think it was very successful. The main thing it showed me was the discourse between the MSM and the vast majority of the public in the country who love trump.

Why does every American from the President on down assume all Irish people are Republicans? Even in America a lot of what they like to call Scotch Irish wouldn't agree.

Well the Irish may have loved it both proper and the plastics in the US, but the rest of us watched the Trump administration sell Black Hawks to the Argentinians.

Trump can go feck himself.

If this feck wants to spit in our eyes we should close down their US bases and send them home. He could always open one up in Dublin.

That would be fun if he did! 😀 I must have missed the black hawks sale to the dirty argentinians. Looking into it now it's 140 million deal. Seems like good business to me? 😅 I've seen some old news articles of the UK turning down the offer of buying black hawks from the US?

With regards to Argentina and their renewed peaked interest in the Falklands. They must smell weakness in the UK government. You might have heard Andy burnham in PMQs last week say that social security comes above national security? Or somthing along those lines.

Edit: the actual quote was
"Our national security cannot come at the expense of our social security."

I honestly have no idea.

There are more Americans with English heritage in America than Irish.

'2020 Census detailed White responses (people who marked White and wrote in origins): English was the largest group at about 46.6 million (alone or in combination), followed by German (~45 million) and Irish (~38.6 million). English alone was also the top single response. '

They should start putting their weight about after what seems to be continual insult.
