Trump is an arsehole, but not as big an arsehole as the alternatives and their spinners

I think that is fair reflection.

The bloke went to his own hotel for a round of golf. His sons went to the pub.

Some bloke leo doesn't get the message that Donald doesn't agree with anything he says.

Look at this another way - Hillary Clinton, Biden etc. have had to accrue their reputations over decades, whereas Donald Trump has had to cram all his assholery into a little over 4 years of being an active politician. Where would he be on the arsehole scale if he'd been a lifer like the rest of them?

I live in Clare and have cousins working in Doonbeg Golf Resort.
I can see that has brought a lot of employment to the area and still see that it was for no other reason than to make money.

He has no affinity for the place other than as an investment.

And none of that takes from the man he has shown himself to be.

He was in the public eye for decades... surprised certain sections of his base overlooked the Marla Maples affair.

Not necessarily.

The Trumps are using the Doonbeg venue to make money. The employment located there is to facilitate that purpose. There is no altruism here.

If the opportunity which presented itself to them was located anywhere else, they wouldn't even know about West Clare.

I don't see anyone claiming it was altruism , and again, a lot more employment, money and spin off that brings for the Doonbeg area than the successive anti "rural" ireland governments and media ever have or will

But of course. Isn't that the normal way of business. Who expects it to be otherwise. He's getting what he wants, the employees and community are getting what they want. All good.

That's just more simple rhetoric.

Moneypoint has 200 staff in Kilrush about 15Km from Doonbeg.

Don't you understand? He's "literally Hitler" and a "racist, sexist, misogynist, homophobic, transphobic, xenophobic, climate-change denier".

You're not allowed to say anything remotely positive about him or likewise you will be slated for endorsing everything he says and does.

No just simple facts. Trump employs over 300 in Doonbeg, and at least 200 more indirectly

Moneypoint . . . is the country's single largest emitter of greenhouse gases . . so Leo & co will be looking forward to cutting jobs in Clare instead of creating any.

I'm pretty sure other American business people and speculators have bought property in Ireland at knockdown prices in recent years,but nothing is heard of them or how much the stand to benefit.As you say it's the normal way of business.

Wait a minute! A Trump supporter AND someone who is aware of climate problems. That's a first!

Also, where are you getting your 300 direct employees and 200 more indirectly from?

Less than 50 of those employees are employed all year round.

Trump increased Drone usage Gerry.

“Obama launched 186 drone strikes on Yemen, Somalia, and especially Pakistan during his first two years in office. In 2017 and 2018 to date, Trump has launched 238 drone strikes there

Doonbeg was going out of business when the Donald took over, he increased the size of the hotel and hired lots more staff, all the food etc is bought locally, he has made some really good changes to the course, and was also going to fund building a wall to protect the course and the
Locals farms from the sea.He has made a big difference there for the good, like him or not.

Anti-rural?! Money is absolutely lashed into rural Ireland. Motorways to very small cities, places that most other countries would consider too small to connect by motorway, Western Rail Corridor that hardly anyone uses, billions about to be spent connecting every rural house to fibre-to-home, a farming lobby that's probably the most powerful political influencer in the country... the list goes on and on.

If you look at somewhere like say NZ, you'd have Dublin and Cork with Limerick and Galway and Waterford being bigger and the rest of the population would be tiny and concentrated into those. The idea of sustaining vast amounts of rural scatter just wouldn't be crossing people's minds.

Doonbeg Begorragh!
