I just fear that his next election promise will be ww3

Well, he hasn't drained any swamps, Hillary is very much not locked up and there is no sign of a wall and certainly not a fat cheque from Mexico to pay for same. And the economy is continuing it's upwards trend, just as it has under 8 years of Obama.
America remains about as great as before, a little less maybe as he alienates allies and trading partners whilst cozying up to dictators.
If you can say anything about his presidency, it's that he hasn't managed to fcuk it up completely yet, but wait for the trade wars.

RTE over and over and over wanting to announce the visit and basically telling people to protest, such an out and out basket case of a news organisation.

He's not racist, he knew some black guys in the 80's. It's pretty obvious that Trump hires so many minorities because they are cheaper labour. That#s why he is still hiring immigrants at his resorts despite despite his America First bull****.

Liberals don't get economics. Otherwise they wouldn't be Liberals. You can't flood a Country with Immigrants and expect the cost of living to stay low. Look at how rent prices in Dublin have skyrocketed in the last couple of years and how prices for goods have gone up as well.

Cubans have been doing that to flee Castro and his regime for years.

The reason you think liberals don't get economic is because you see any policy that isn't "Pull yourself up by your bootstraps" as socialism on the level of Venezuela. You also can't countenance any system where the rich give more than the poor because you see it as communism.

Right, the country was just flooded with massive white pride marches under Obama.

Stirring “uproar” just feeds the troll. Ignore him, he’ll go away of his own accord. He’s one day in Dublin one day in Sligo. He’s Pres of USA.
If you don’t like him don’t go see him. Simple as.

Why are people getting ants in their pants over this?

My only problem with his visit is those 2 faced **** that daily say he's a bollix yet they will be right up his hole for the visit.

Personally, I wouldn't be out protesting (Nor will I when he also comes to Colombia in November) but the smug people on this thread gloating about how much his visit will annoy people are pretty pathetic themselves.

"Informed" is a relative term, and many will think that "information" is something you are very selective about.

The problem with Donald Trump for SJW liberals is that he is a man. And he is white. He is the anti-christ of the current liberal/feminist movement because he is a white man.

He was a Democrat at the time. Now that he's a Republican we're supposed to hate him now.

All these protests planned to show that Trump isn't welcome, a load of f*cking Trinners with nothing better to be doing.
It will not change a thing.

The Don

An intellectual Giant

A Respecter of Others

A kind and tolerant person.

An eloquent speaker.

A humble humanitarian

An role model for children

The scourge of dictators and evil persons everywhere

A man of upmost honesty and integrity.

A man of wisdom and insight.

A moral giant.

A man of compassion and empathy.

In short, one of the greatest leaders of our time.

Chris_Heilong

He is probably the best president they have had in a while simply because he actually gets things done and is making the American economy great again which is what he set out to do, it is trendy to hate these days but if you dislike him at least have a valid argument and not just call him a supremacist/bigot/sexist just because that is what the left wing media has been spouting out for a long time, just because something is said so many times does not make it true, show the proof.

I think maybe the problem is a lot of people are believing the exaggerated caricature of Trump created by hyperbolic news agencies trying to promote a political dissonance within society for ratings.

One of my criticisms of him that I base on what I have seen or heard are he says one thing and then the next moment denies he said it even though there is video evidence, this is bizarre and I wonder if it is a strategy or just a mental disorder.

Kidchameleon

Would anyone know where to get one of those red "make America great again" hats? I'd love to pick one up in time for the visit.



Trump is a great president, 100% of the time when I ask a person why they don't like him, they cant actually answer, its madness. People being controlled by the media, mindless drones.

•President Trump’s tax returns
•Trump family businesses — and whether they comply with the Constitution's emoluments clause, including the Chinese trademark grant to the Trump Organization
•Trump's dealings with Russia, including the president's preparation for his meeting with Vladimir Putin
•The payment to Stephanie Clifford — a.k.a. Stormy Daniels
•James Comey's firing
•Trump's firing of U.S. attorneys
•Trump's proposed transgender ban for the military
•Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin's business dealings
•White House staff's personal email use
•Cabinet secretary travel, office expenses, and other misused perks
•Discussion of classified information at Mar-a-Lago
•Jared Kushner's ethics law compliance
•Dismissal of members of the EPA board of scientific counselors
•The travel ban
•Family separation policy
•Hurricane response in Puerto Rico
•Election security and hacking attempts
•White House security clearances

Just off the top of my head. This is not a complete list.

And when people are asked why they like Trump, it's always "something something, MAGA, liberal butthurt", so there's nothing really there either.

Your post - I just love this type of reaction. And many times with some type of sexual connotation or reference, which says a lot about the poster.
Waiting for leftie/liberal heads to explode in 3,2,1 ....... - isn't actually about Trump. It's about hating someone for the sake of hating someone. It's provoking an unnamed poster and trying to get a rise. It's trolling. It's not expressing an opinion for or against Trump. It doesn't even mention Trump.

The problem with Donald Trump for SJW liberals is that he is a man. And he is white. He is the anti-christ of the current liberal/feminist movement because he is a white man.

Now this is expressing an opinion without trolling, so it is possible. Opinion though is obviously flawed: Justin Trudeau is white and male and the love him. Ditto Bill Clinton. And Bernie Saunders. And Jeremy Corbyn.

Not saying any or all of these are effective leaders, but they ARE all white men.

Taytoland

You rolled the red carpet out for the Pope why not Trump? The socialist loons will want it to happen in truth so they can show people how wonderful they are.

NIMAN

Maybe its just me, but the idea of protesting against Trump wouldn't interest me one iota.

I don't like him, I don't agree with 99.9% of what he says, but to be honest I don't think I could be @rsed taking to the streets to protest his visit.

It will achieve zilch. Like it did in the UK.

Trump supporters (outside of the US anyway) have no idea how his policies effect people, whether or not he deals with important issues or sidesteps them and whether a lot of his clout comes from base scaremongering and veiled threats.

Not sure if this was said already, but equally, Trump critics outside of the US have no idea how his policies affect people.

hmmm

I've never joined a march for anything, and I'm not walking behind Paul Murphy, but I'm getting up off my arse for this one.

The President of the US is more than simply the leader of a nation, the US is the standard bearer for Western society - and despite the bleating from lefties, I quite like democracy, free speech and the right to work hard and get the rewards. Having a ignorant, racist, misogynistic oaf who appears determined to destroy the planet and roll back the influence of science as US President is an outrage, and I want to express my outrage.

If even one Trump voter in the US is influenced to change their vote by Ireland of all places rejecting a US President, I'd be happy.

DT certainly has authoritarian, fascist leanings. He condemns the press as an enemy of the people. He might say he values work, but he says one thing while handing out tax cuts to people with large amounts of unearned wealth.

Given he colluded with a foreign country during the election i think it is fair to say he doesnt give a **** about democracy.

It doesn't take a genius to work out what happens when trade wars break out or you make a proposal to arm teachers in an attempt school shootings, but you have a point: people outside the US are not going to be effected as much as people inside the US (unless you rely on US aid).

This seems to be the typical level of discourse that comes from his supporters. All we need to do now is throw in "the liberals" "libtards" "socialists" "feminists". He "says what's on his mind".

Oh wait, it's all been done before.

Trump concerns me because for all of his talk of being "for the people" he hasn't actually done anything for the people. He chants to build a wall, knowing full well that even if he had the money it couldn't possibly be done within 4 years, or even 8.

Did he not originally claim the wall would cost less than $12 billion?

All Trump has managed to do with any real success is making international trading much worse for the US. Oh, and he's been bombing countries just as much as Obama did, possibly more at this point.

OH! He's also taken more holidays than any other President.

Really, what about that company in Dublin who is moving its base to Pennsylvania and will give employment to Americans? They cited the Trump tax changes as the reason.
So it is not true he has done nothing for his people. The tax changes to lower corporate tax is huge for the US.

To all the people freaking out, ask yourself what impact his visit here will have on you? Really think about it.
Will he stop you going to work? Will he stop you grocery shopping? Will he stop you listening to the radio? Will he stop you browsing the internet? Will he stop you doing all your mundane day to day stuff? Will he stop you doing anything cool?
It has zero impact on you.
