The Pat Kenny Show

There are a few believe it or not. Trump Not instigating wars, giving the BBC a comeuppance. A very smug sanctimonious and subtly jingoistic organisation.

Trump is more focused on trade deals and American self interest. Less American interference in the world. Allows the EU etc a chance to fill the vacuum. If the EU is smart it should start positioning itself to do so.

Personally I don’t tune into Kenny for Trump stuff. That has been done to death. It bores me.

I dip in cases like the Irish Presidential elections where Kenny was by far the most astute and well prepared interviewer. He didn’t let any candidate away with bluffers answers or obfuscation.

Not instigating wars? He bombed Iran! Hes threatened military action against Nigeria and Venezula as well as hinting at invading Greenland.

He hasn't made a single real trade deal. His tariffs on other countries has resulted in increased prices for US consumers. He claims the tariffs are bringing in trillions but the real figure is 88 billion all paid for by the US.

There are a few believe it or not. Trump Not instigating wars,

He's literally in the middle of instigating one right now with Venezuela.

Irish media have a public service to cover Irish affairs, not American.

If you still find yourself annoyed about Trump 10 years on, then there's something wrong with you.

Plus Trump will be gone from the limelight in a few years. Pat Kenny will likely be still there.

Do you know what a war is? No offence. The definition of a war. And I do realise you live in America and are more American than Irish. Fair enough. I have read “What’s the matter with Kansas?” Years ago. America is NOT Ireland. Different values, different mindsets.

A bit of realism about.Trump needs to be said. He is a great self marketer knows how to get his vote out. How many people get two terms in America as President? Even more impressive still two terms with a defeat in the middle.

If America gets involved in regime change under your President’s administration then I will say you are correct. And hold my hands up. But Trump doesn’t want the usual pointless wars America have fought historically Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan etc etc

The truth is Trump is an isolationist. “America first” Which is what the majority American people want. Similar to when De Valera was first in government with FF.

As I said I don’t pay heed to Kenny on Trump. He doesn’t like the guy and can’t fathom how he has succeeded.
To me Pat Kenny would be better to focus on Irish or EU issues. In my opinion. EU issues and minutiae are not discussed on the Irish media enough. And Irish MEP’s should be held to more account by Irish media.

That American poster just wants to derail thread with usual boring Trump lines.

Americans only seem to agree with bombing other countries if it's the person they voted for doing it. And they are too arrogant to think otherwise.
