    Donald Duck Trump does not give a F about anything apart from his ego.

    Doonbeg can welcome him all they wish, well why not?

    Oh and just to be frivolous can someone tell me why DT's ties go down to his knees! Mad Ted!

    I think you don’t understand what paddywhackery is.

    These are local Irish people welcoming a head of state and a large local employer to their village.

    Is that something to be proud of given all the sh ite that he has spouted so far.

    Say nothing and live your life the way you want to. And of course he goes to Church too.

    Well you have to go to Church in MURICA, or you are an apostate. Presence at church works so much. Ugh.

    The Messiah has certainly put that place on the map this week.. I've never heard of it before his visit, now the next time I'm down that way if I see a sign for it I'll likely spin by, looks great on telly.

    Oh the irony of these biggots undermining the people of Doonbeag.

    It's not exactly the kind of place where you'd find employment easily,apart from seasonal work in hotels and restaurants, shop's etc.

    If the locals appreciate him so be it, we live in a democratic Republic.

    His business has put food on people's tables.

    If we all look after our own patch instead of thinking a micky mouse protest will make any difference.

    I seen a clip of the protesters, typical type's of educated idiot's craving attention.

    Blow ins, what's worse is they indoctrinate their kids by bringing them along and get them into the whole polava.
    It's very sad to see.

    I suppose there's people who wrestle with their version of pigs because the pig's love it.

    Does Donald give a toss, of course not he couldn't care less.
    It goes with the job....

    Ah yes, us Irish the great ironics, delighted to use US products like iphones & watch their TV shows & go to their country for jobs/J1's or visit one of our family over there or as some lads do, wanna join the Marines, but don't you dare bring your head of state over here for a visit that he wanted, how dare they.:rolleyes:

    Welcome Mr President.

    It's one the best surf and fishing beaches in Clare.
    It's a storm beach, majestic looking when there's an offshore breeze and a heavy.ground swell.

    Have you seen our corporation tax revenues courtesy of US companies?

    What would FG do with the ten million... that would pay for 10 reports! From PWC.

    Yup. searched it myself on google maps. I'd guess that hotel and golf course is making a massive difference for a lot of local families and small businesses. Caddying jobs for local youngsters in summer,hotel wages going into the local town shop/pubs.

    It looks a pretty small place that would otherwise be bypassed on the way to Clare's more touristy spots.The locals ain't gonna rock the boat. Who could blame them!

    1 protester on the news said she felt the need to come out to shannon this evening to voice her opinion, like it fcukin mattered one iota what was rolling around in the vacuous space between her ears, opinions are like arseholes, everyone has one, and her child was prompted to talk and let off a spiel of utter sh1te that's she heard repeated ad nauseam by her parents while they sat around there communal fcukin vegetable garden telling everyone they shower once a week to save water, the ****

    Felt sorry for the young lad being interviewed at the protest.

    He was asked what did he think of Trump.


    He paused, before reciting his poem. He's a bigot, he's a sexist, yadd yadda.


    Poor chap looked like a scared cult member trying to stay on script.

    I dont think the Taoiseach regularly meets the owners of golf clubs in Shannon... at least I hope not. Only gets out of bed just for popstars and presidents.

    The golf club was there before the Donald Trump became an international threat, it will be there long after.

    Until it's washed away by vicious storms and rising sea levels!
