I wonder how this will work out for him

Burke's are traitors out to stir up right wing Americans against Ireland
And even that is minor enough to not preclude him. Might have to apply for a visa proper instead of going through the ESTA though
Whatever about the circus of Trump's office, the American Secret Service are particularly neurotic about protecting foreign leaders on their patch.
All the security team of the Irish delegation has to do, is alert their Secret Service liaison to the identities of any people they do not wish to have within an Ass's roar of their Principal, ie the Taoiseach, or events at which the Principal will be.
The Secret Service and Capitol Police will think nothing of picking up the Burkes, should they start causing trouble somewhere thereabouts, and putting them in a cell until the Taoiseach has left Washington and showing them onto the next plane home too.
Normally I'd agree fully with you but this time round, Trump appears to be going full reality TV in terms of ridiculous scenarios that are happening. So honestly I have no idea what to expect by eod tomorrow.
that’s a ridiculous question in fairness!
sure he has school in the morning!! 😅
Watch this space I'd say...they like pulling stunts...very coincidental that they're going to Washington at exactly this time.
I believe Musk was tweeting about this yesterday. There's hardly something in the works? Surely not.
Even a month ago I would have thought it too much of a warping of reality to see the Burkes turn up where you least expect them in Washington, but, the world has become so loo-lah lately that, frankly, nothing that insane would truly surprise me.
“…the burkes have been invited by or will be tolerated by the administration I will Revolut you 50 quid”
Wonderful I’ll order my lobster for paddy’s day now - many thanks
Trump is constantly going on about WW3- I think we’re about to see the catalyst that causes it 😀
….
I'd say they have influential contacts to help set things up for them
I believe only Daddy has an actual criminal record.
I wonder what they have planned? I'm sure they have influencial US Christian group contacts over there which might get them high level access
This should be great craic especially if they got to meet Trump.. Nutjobs meet nutjob.
Wonder how they got pass US immugration with the list of criminal records ?
Do we know if Enoch himself went?
Couldn't believe it when I heard it on the news. This could be good.
One thing is certain, Trump better not wag the finger at the Mrs, she'll probably bite the finger off, feisty woman that she is.
Hardly be a prayer 🙏 vigil.
Watch this space.
no prob, if it is confirmed one way or another the burkes have been invited by or will be tolerated by the administration I will Revolut you 50 quid.
I don’t for a moment think this is anything more than another stunt thought up by Martina or the lot of them collectively. Like what would it do for trump to invite them or even musk as is suggested?
Strong arm MM into reinstating encoh, as if he even could!
Details scarce as the family have not declared their intention.
Maybe a quiet dignified peaceful protest?
It's in pretty much all the print media.
Indo, Examiner, Irish Times, Limerick Leader etc. etc
The Journal has it too.

Is there a media blanket ban on the Burkes or something? The Burkes are going to America! A year ago every Irish media outlet would have been all over this.
Except when its by people Trump like. For instance the ones who literally started an insurrection.
How "robustly" were they dealt with on the day ?
The people in the White house are hardly what you would consider sane either TBF.
“oh cmon it’s not a setup”
I would put money on it that it is - you have seen their videos? Yes? It will make “wonderful television”. This is right up the street of Trump and now Musk -supporters would say , they’d be fools to pass up the chance. I don’t think Musk as least can resist - whether they get into the White House remains to be seen - but if Trump can humiliate “Ireland” for supporting trans-gender-even though the Burke in question is just a bloody idiot who doesn’t know how to adhere to a court order that has nothing to do with trans—gender - he’ll do it.
I’d love to see them try and shout at a US judge like they do here tbh
Or try and assault the DC PD or secret service as you say 🤣
The problem they have is that causing disruption to a Presidential event in the US will be handled a lot more robustly than here e.g. ihoping the fence of the White House could be fatal.
I agree. That's why I said he might have offered, not paid! ;)
Probably a bit of both.
I hope Mammy was on that plane. I'd love to see her being body slammed to the ground by a burly secret service agent or a DC police officer.
Actually, any of them (yes, I know I shouldn't but I can't help it).
oh cmon it’s not a setup or an invite by the White House- clearly they’re on the way to disrupt (or attempt to) the visit.
These people are lunatics. I am not surprised one bit.
Ah yes, the US, bastions of free speech where the dictatorial president is trying to outlaw protests and banning media from briefings for refusing to go along with him trying to rename oceans…
