    Trump says America first. When will one of our leaders say the same about Ireland?

    I think you'll find when Trump says America first, he means Trump first.

    Bit quieter on the world stage wouldn't you agree?

    A record number of US bombs dropped on Afghanistan this year, so no. Trump has done exactly what his predecessor did, while also constantly undermining the EU and NATO, praising Russia, starting trade wars, and tried to strangle press freedom. And that's only the start.

    I'm off. Before i get into trouble:D

    My thoughts on Trump.. All US presidents tend to have blood on their hands from various conflicts the US is involved in. Trump probably less than any recent presidents.

    At the end of the day he'll get the red carpet etc. Money talks and the other walks. If the US president was Genghis Khan he'd get a warm welcome because of the state he leads.

    Why does trump do what he does? He is already a billionaire ..Thats what I dont get why not retire enjoy life

    Ultimate power? I know what you mean. Considering he's the same age as Clinton (maybe a year older) he's very fresh..if a little orange..

    So having a go at someone online because of anonymity is ok but if you met them in real life you'd be sound. Look up hypocrisy. You said you were going. Goodnight.

    I think those people just jumped on his band wagon and act like he represents them only, but that is not the case in reality.

    To a degree. For one thing, they see him as a vehicle to weaken or dismantle government and give them a freer hand to practice their bigotry out in the open. For another, because he doesn't give a **** about anyone else, and just says and does whatever springs to mind, certain kinds of asocial sociopaths admire his brazenness. They would love to be able to say what they really feel about white genocide or how uppity women have gotten lately, or how certain races should keep to themselves, and are dumber than their race (it's science)

    I don't think Trump is much of a thinker, and it's a bit of a fools errand to try and place his core beliefs, beyond attaining as much power and wealth as possible to buttress his ego. In a casual kind of way, he's obviously a sexist and a racist, given the objectifying, discriminatory and dehumanising way he speaks to and about women, black people and immigrants, but I don't think it's a particularly militant set of beliefs that really define his character.

    It really is tragic seeing the sort of cult of personality that has arisen around him when he absolutely doesn't give the tiniest ****e about any of them, beyond how he can use them for his own benefit. Truly, they are the biggest cucks of all.

    As for coming here. I wouldn't imagine we'll be rolling out the carpet. I don't think that would gel with the new hip, cool image FG are trying to portray, and I don't think being friendly with Trump is much of a vote winner here.

    His core is ultimately the Republican core, who'd vote for a literal potato if it secured the Republican nomination, and we don't really have the same sort of theocratic fundamentalists or old southern salt of the earth types to anywhere near the same degree. Even the back woods of Kerry or Donegal are nowhere near as isolated as many parts of the US, and the rural/urban divide isn't as pronounced.

    I'd imagine he'll remain largely isolated, stop off, and be on his way. You'll probably get a handful of protesters and counter-protesters standing in the damp, glumly wiggling placards at him, or stammering out cheers through their chattering teeth as he whizzes to and from Shannon in a motercade.

    He wouldn't brave Dublin anymore than he did London.

    Hope there is a bit of a protest mind. Might be good for a piss up.

    Once someone has all the wealth they could need, power is the next step. Plus Trump has a huge ego that needs massaging.

    I agree wholeheartedly with this statement. Power and ego.

    So, what's the response?

    Will it be:
    1. Stay away and watch on TV?
    2. Stay away and don't watch on TV?
    3. Proest aggressively?
    4. Protest by turning your back as he rides along in the "breast" - oops, sorry, the "beast"
    5. Do a Miley and don't protest at all at all?
    6. Cheer and fanfare all the way
    7. Lay a wreath outside the neon sign:

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,310 ✭✭✭07Lapierre


    Let me guess...Air Force One lands at Shannon Airport. Trump heads off for a game of golf. He then gives a press conference wher he threatens/insults everyone, then back to the Airport and back to the US..the whole visit lasts as long as it takes to refuel AF1!

    It's a nice golf course in fairness.

    There's a great point break there too for surfing.

    Trump will be his usual ignorant and awkward self, while our representatives kiss his ass and present him with a hurley in the hope that he might throw us an economic bone.
    All the while the protesters are kept out of sight.
    RTE coverage will be typically cringe worthy.
    I can't wait.
