Well it wouldn't be the first time we shoved a pint of Guinness in a VIP's hand so if that makes us busboys angling for a tip, we already wear that tshirt.

But I think it's not outside the bounds of imagination to do it a bit more classy than that.

In fairness, that's pretty much what I'm saying.

The obsequious, deferential approach makes an impression. But not the right impression.

Like, it makes an impression when you realise that many people in Doonbeg seem to feel they couldn't find a productive use for their time if Trump didn't buy a local hotel out of insolvency.

"We're a bunch of useless gobbers. Praise Allah that this great man has lavished some of his largesse upon us. Blessed be his name! Trump, the all-powerful, the merciful."

And I'm not having a go at Trump, especially. Its the obsequious attitude.

It was more kids were brought to the golf course then he was out walking around meeting the locals. It was nice they did it though

They could have doled out some free baseball caps or tshirts or something!

Fair play to teachers a bit of Irish ingenuity of the moment that we are known for.

So much for high security.

He’s the president of the USA. It’s all good. Ireland is one of their closest allies

Ah man, that looks so genuine... the kids are about a third bored, a third excited, a third "what the hell are we doing here"... not stage managed or choreographed at all. It's like being back in the 80s.

Jesus, he's US president, like he's got a heap of baseball caps and t shirts stashed somewhere on his person in the middle of a golf course, people really are soft in the head.

No Trump is US President, but he works through that godly man.

Yes a completely amateur mistake on his part I'm sure you'll agree... I guess he only had room for the US flags.

Easy for people in Dublin to laugh at the folk in Doonbeg. People in Doonbeg don't have job opportunities on their doorsteps like in Dublin. So I'm glad they gave the two fingers to Roisin Ingle and the rest of them.

Hadn't heard of her so looked her up on twitter.

Jesus she is toxic, horrible sneery attitude she has towards rural people.

Well he is gone for now we can all put away or MAGA hats, Trump hats, crying baby dolls and placards and relax well until you go into the super thread

After all my posts in this thread, I'm still waiting on the US embassy to send me at least a baseball cap.

The school is inside the high security area.The teachers and the children were on land owned by one of the teacher's parents and is also in the high security area and close to the 9th hole.A Garda and a member of the Secret Service went to them and told them the President wanted to meet them when he saw them waiting there.

This type of stuff is usually censored out of the media when it suits them

I love doonbeg, lovely place and lovely people. Fair play to them, Donald Trump the business man has provided them jobs and a way to live locally and earn a living. They are right to welcome him, as their employer, just like any of us would do our employer.

Does everyone in Doonbeg work at the hotel?

300 odd directly, and at least 200 more indirectly according to RTE, that's a lot in a neglected disadvantaged area.

TheDiceMan2020 · 07-06-2019 10:47PM

Pity he didn't give all the kids Maga hats.

The snobs in Dublin would have to double the Prozac dose for about a month.

i imagine the population is around 4500 to 5000 people from loop head ,to kilkee kilrush doonbeg and miltown malbay , so 300 jobs along with a knock on effect of at least 300 more is huge

plus everyone back here is pissed with leo , there was plans for a wind and wave power station to be built a few years ago in doonbeg and varadkar ****caned it
most people have to go to dublin now for work that once existed in limerick ,and shannon and ennis , as is the case in most places outside dublin leading to bigger problems up in the capital

there is a lot more then just thant , a number of local FG counselors have been very outspoken against him for his lack of help or investment to rural ireland especially clare

the diabolical situation with the the ul hospital in limerick is just another

all this taken into account , it shows just how idiotic it would have been for the people of doonbeg to protest the visit of one of west clares biggest investors

Did he reveal his score for today's round of golf? Weather was ok, he can't use that as an excuse

rumor around here is he built a wall on the 18th green to make the course harder , only problem is he sent his scorecard to guadalajara by mistake, apparently the club captain was handed a bill of $80000 on trumps return to the 19th

:D
