This evening.
The Office of the Press Secretary of The White House announced that, along with taking part in a commemoration for the 100th anniversary of the armistice which ended the fighting in World War I in Paris, France, US President Donald Trump will visit Ireland in November.
Yes.
Indeed.
Quite.
Our thoughts exactly.
FIGHT!
Statement from the Press Secretary (The White House)
Via Richard Chambers
UPDATE:
The visit of President Trump does not represent the wishes of the many people in Ireland who strongly object to the regressive & damaging policies he pursues. Instead of red carpets, harps and dancing girls he must be met with strong voices of opposition to his policy platform.

As if he’ll still be in a job by then…
6 more years. Suck it.
The US is still a democracy.
Do you have a time machine ‘Baz’ or just some insight we don’t? I think the former is more likely.
How many times have you said that over the last two years?
6 more years. Suck it.
As Alan Pardew used to say….
Himself and Moyesy
I found out, via Twitter, how to blag my way through tomorrow, Bertie!
– “Dublin’s bench will be the difference”
– “Mickey Harte always comes up with something new in these games”
– “You HAVE TO push up on Cluxton’s kickouts”
– “Tyrone don’t fear Dublin”
I’m still none the wiser but there you go.
I don’t know what’s going on I thought Limerick won all the Ireland.
Excellent research Andy :)
except – last point: in fact, tyrone are shaaaating themselves
I think the pressure is all on Dublin unfortunately.
Wish it was over, pre match nerves well and truly kicked in already.
by 10 at least
Thanks.
I needed that :)
He can get in the fupping sea.
The Legend is coming. Can’t wait.
Who invited that willy?
The Government. Full of Trump sneaking regarders.
The Pope and Trump in the same year. We’re mafe up.
Let’s see if he visits his Irish homestead : Facebook HQ in Grand Canal Dock.
I love your handle bro
Wonderful for Ireland.
No one.
He’s coming to play golf in his gaff
Curious timing on this visit. He must be shitting it over the mid-terms on the 6th of November. I imagine he thinks it’s a good idea to do a Snowden on it and get to another jurisdiction.
Yes, all time low popularity rating and impeachment on the cards if the Democrats win the mid terms. Might be a celebration yet,
” if the democrats win the mid terms..”
Haha there’s a laugh right there..
Who has killed more brown people, Bush Snr, Clinton, Bush Jnr, Obama or Trump?
Brown?
Bush did 9/11.
Which brown people? Who has been the most divisive, corrupt, and has potential to cause the most destruction.
A deliberate attempt to stir the brown stuff. Just look at that FG Blueshirt username. Ignore.
The US Irish vote lads…as old as Ellis Island.
Now should this be a state visit, then protocols apply, regardless of what you think of the man.
But the fawning and doffing from this land’s chosen will be stomach-churning.
Broadsheet question: if you are a crafter, artist, performer – would you take the gig?
I genuinely wonder if the irish vote is a thing any more? That whole anti muslim, pro israel thing is enough to get him over the line in an election i think. Anyway hopefully our garda security budget is in a deep enough hole that he gets whacked here. I hope some jihadi has the balls and smarts to do him in and sure what better place than here?
Scotser just won an all expenses paid trip of a lifetime!!!
To some god-forsaken hole.
Ah scotts, assassination is so 20th century.
The converse and critique that Trump has created – we are all talking about him – is historic. Who cares what idiot rules America, except the Americans? I would be a stone cold Dev on this visit and strike the jugular over war atrocities, international policy and civil rights at home. I also would remind him that Brexit was a UK decision – uneducated US need reminding that we are a sovereign state.
The Guard bill will probably be the same as Obama and the Queen of England’s visit. Given the millions spent on the pope’s stay, I would like to see a tot up. FOI?
I for one welcome our bottomy overlord.
Odds are he will be in a job by then like as not.
Perhaps there is closure in the ww1 aspect, with the cold war “over” and all.
And seeing as we all seem to be rolling up the sleeves for round 3 the way thimgs are shaping up.
Maybe vote for Gemma after all. Spare Miggeldy and give her a chance to speak truth to power and watch sparks fly. Or not.
haha
Heh!!
Marvellous news.
The wokes on here can spend the next two months self-pleasuring themselves stupid virtue –signalling like a red-bottomed monkey self-pleasuring himself.
And the rest of us can point out how Shannon airport was used for rendition flights by Barry Obama.
Welcome President Trump.What jolly japes your’re going to inspire for the next few weeks.
Una Mullally will be dipping her quill in bile as we speak.
I have the largest bag of popcorn ever ready right now.
Yes It’s great news for the performatively evil.
Rendition flights thru shannon have being going on since gw bush.
Enjoy the popcorn while you watch ‘deal or no deal’.
Dull
You’re a bore.
Ollie we need you on the Telly
Haven’t we got a full complement of whining, oleaginous, one-dimensional bores in there already?
Ouch.
Never mind the visit to Ireland – anyone with family who served in the trenches is going to have him commemorating their memory. How nice that will be.
If briefed, the shore near the Lusitania might be apt. If briefed.
Or three miles off it.
Where will the protest march be held? Sign me up.

College Green according to FB.
The only real question is when Trump tells Liability Leo to jump exactly how high will the clown go ?
This is Varadkar’s big chance to stop being known as Leo Who ?
The Donald will have him for breakfast.
Looking forward to some epic grovelling from you Ollie. Crawling to posh public school boys steering your nation to disaster is one thing, you’ll have to get right down on your belly to lick up to the multiple bankrupt racist reality show host. No half measures now, this guy demands dignity shredding levels of personal abasement, but it’ll be worth it to pwn the libs! You’re probably right to see Leo as a rival in that so the back-biting is all part of the competition for his approval Go!
that’s not nice. But I suppose you guys would do the same with a Clinton, Aung Sui Kyi other silly approved warmonger
And I’m sure you’d show your belly to your approved warmonger.
That’s an awful way to go, in fairness. Being eaten by that crass orange racist. Poor Leo. And I don’t even like Leo.
Not sure I’d even wish it on my ex-bff from primary school, who would wholly deserve such a punishment, but I’m clearly a bigger person than that.
@millie I can 100% guarantee you Varadkar isn’t in the least deserving of your sympathy…he’s a classic hits sociopath who has reached his apex…all he is feeling inside is jealousy of Trump if anything at all.
I read that gossip article the other day about his younger self’s behavioural traits…he treats his own FG interns with the same love & decency
he’s a silly billy
forgot to add..
it’s inevitable that people in position of power gained are imbalanced (e.g. sociopathic) in some way. Power. I’ve long given up on the notion of someone at the controls who is vocationally driven & cares. I could cut a little slack if something/anything atall positive was achieved by the person but I can’t find a single thing. yer man Callan is bang on about varadwkar- “It was like that when I got here” in a nutshell. all shapes no substance miserable fupp.
So you read the uncited, unsourced gossip piece and are treating it as gospel. Iron Clad proof of Leo’s failings?
You are a silly poo poo
no @Rotide (& poo to you for the silly poo poo quip)
I have actual direct experience (the interns) not something I read about somewhere
you can believe me or not I don’t care
+1 Martco..
If Trump is racist explain his support from the likes of Candice Owens, Kanye Wets, Blacks for Trump…
Or would you just rather make lazy, ignorant generalizations ?
First of all explain why all the other people of colour think he’s racist rather than leaning so heavily on the outliers.
Dodging the Question there Nigel.
As usual.
Trump is no racist. If you want to claim otherwise provide the evidence.
Without evidence you’re just another silly billy cry baby liberal idiot clinging to the narrative of the fake news media.
Question answered actually, don’t blame me if you didn’t like it. If the opinions of a tiny fraction of the black population of the US outweighs the opinion of the rest, what does that say about you?
Nigel’s nonsense non-answer.
Where’s your evidence that Trump is racist?
Oh that’s right:
YOU DON’T HAVE ANY!
(Repeating claims without evidence make you a liar – Lying Nigel).
Oh no the guy who thinks McCain was ‘supposedly’ tortured in Vietnam by Jewish/Communists is demanding evidence! What a great use of time and energy that would be!
Nigel you’re such a dull old stick.
If you were a sambo you’d be a tuna mayo on white but hold the mayo.
Weird sambo analogy from aficionado of British “roast beef” sold for pennies in ASDA but hold the roast beef, used Irish machined old horse intestines with Union Jack on packet will fool the largely illiterate market for this product
Bit of a tedious ol’ bore that’s going through the yourself, Ollie.
Those two posts are so badly written they could have been authored by Dumb and Dumber.
No, Ollie, these comments were not written by the UK Brexit policy document writers.
You’re straining the analogy so hard the buttons are popping off it matey.
Humour ain’t really your gig is it ?
An analogy whose buttons are popping off? A bit like Brexit, eh? Eh?
Pardon me Oil Lie
You’re more of a crap sandwich or bacon BUTTy sort yourself in fairness
shure it’s all good! black, brown, yellow, green, whatever…Trump likes rich people of all colours
Ah, not the brightest are you?
Kanye Wets, the well-known Tory backbencher, I presume.
Can-he wets the bed?
Oh pardon me, I didn’t realise that racism was a term belonging exclusively to black people. We’ll just politely ignore his hatred of the hispanic people, and his unbelievable xenophobia, and support of far right extremist groups linked to the kkk. If you’d rather we can talk about the Omarosa tapes, or the way he historically treats women, or the fact that his entire tenure has been dogged by scandals and failure after failure. I mean we needn’t focus on just the racism, is you want a more rounded critique of a man who is woefully unqualified to hold the office of president.
KKK founded by Democrats.
https://goo.gl/images/i3hWfV
Wow straight outta the US right Stupid Argument box. We’re going to need bingo cards for this one. This is Ireland you twit we don’t give a flying feck about their parties we’re not invested in their partisan successes or failings or hypocrisies beyond our current interests. This is pathetic. The KKK of today and all the neo-Nazis are full score behind The Donald, and a history lesson would teach you how it came about that the party that freed the slaves became the party of white supremacy and it’s sad but hardly an unprecedented political or cultural shift.
And Trump’s Dad was in the KKK, so careful throwing that historical stuff around.
Can you provide a link to show Fred was a paid up member Nigel?
Are you saying he wasn’t in the KKK? What if they ordered pizza? Would you believe it then?
no link Nigel..
Now Nigel you’re just telling straight up lies.
“In effect, the Klan was a military force serving the interests of the Democratic party, the planter class, and all those who desired the restoration of white supremacy. It aimed to destroy the Republican party’s infrastructure, undermine the Reconstruction state, reestablish control of the black labor force, and restore racial subordination in every aspect of Southern life.”
From

Typical lefty, projecting their sins onto their enemies.
Which party ended slavery in the US?
(Hint: It wasn’t the democrats.)
Nigel still fails to produce proof that Trump is a racist.

Haha Culchie didn’t read what I wrote! Or didn’t understand it. That would be sad.
Jusayinlike wants a link will no-one give him a link how is he supposed to know if Trump’s racist without a link?
He has links. He doesn’t like those links. He wants different links.
trump comes from a long line of recists, his father was so racist that Woody Guthrie wrote a song about him:
Old Man Trump
Words by Woody Guthrie, Music by Ryan Harvey
I suppose that Old Man Trump knows just how much racial hate
He stirred up in that bloodpot of human hearts
When he drawed that color line
Here at his Beach Haven family project
Beach Haven ain’t my home!
No, I just can’t pay this rent!
My money’s down the drain,
And my soul is badly bent!
Beach Haven is Trump’s Tower
Where no black folks come to roam,
No, no, Old Man Trump!
Old Beach Haven ain’t my home!
I’m calling out my welcome to you and your man both
Welcoming you here to Beach Haven
To love in any way you please and to have some kind of a decent place
To have your kids raised up in.
Beach Haven ain’t my home!
No, I just can’t pay this rent!
My money’s down the drain,
And my soul is badly bent!
Beach Haven is Trump’s Tower
Where no black folks come to roam,
No, no, Old Man Trump!
Old Beach Haven ain’t my home!
And here’s one article from the countless ones out there describing trumps racism:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/posteverything/wp/2018/08/15/is-trump-a-racist-you-dont-need-an-n-word-tape-to-know/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.d1c67470977d
wow, thanks for your liberal opinions, we’re actually looking for a citation not an op ed piece..
Is that the “royal” we you’re using their jusy?
Whatever brave face Leo has to put on to deal with the orange racist we can be sure there’s not going to be video of him dancing awkwardly in the hopes of a measly trade deal, beamed around the world.
Same question to you Butina:
If Trump is racist explain his support from the likes of Candice Owens, Kanye Wets, Blacks for Trump…
Or would you just rather make lazy, ignorant generalizations ?Same question
If Trump isn’t a racist why did he campaign on Hispanics being criminals and rapists, call a Hispanic judge illegitimate and orchestrate a campaign of caging Hispanic children, hundreds of which are still seperated from their parents?
Basically, if he’s not a racist why does he keep doing racist things?
Trump constantly points out the criminal gang MS-13 are the rapists and murders. (You fake-news masters disingenuously claim all Hispanics are labelled this way)
Show us the evidence for your claim that he’s caging Hispanic children.
And then explain how this is different to what every other administration since Clinton was doing.
Show evidence for him caging Hispanic children and then show how it’s different to what others have done.
So you accept that Trump the racist is caging Hispanic children. Well that’s a start at least.
And remember:
The Obama Admin was apparently in league with human traffickers:
http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2016/01/hhs-handed-child-migrants-to-human-traffickers.html
Was this racist?
Or just plain evil?
if you’re using abuse of kids to carry your twisted message, I think we can figure out the kind of person you really are. You can come off your knees now. He’s gone.
You’re making leaps of assumption there Butina.
I’m waiting for the evidence that Trump is caging children.
Previous admins have done so, Show me it continues under Trump.
Remember the fake news Time cover falsely claiming the child was seperated from her mother who was illegally entering the USA.
He’s a racist.
http://uk.businessinsider.com/naacp-president-trump-racist-2018-8?r=US&IR=T
No evidence, just someone’s opinion…
blah blah blah
“Just somoeone’s opinion”.
The usual game plan from the racist-defending, climate change denying flat earthers.
10 demand a link
20 ridicule the link and demand another
30 goto 20
digress
typical.. when your link is rubbish and you’re too stubborn to admit your pockets are empty.
He cages children.
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-44518942
Barry Sotero introduced and first enacted the cages Bertie, is he racist too?
The Barry Sotero storyline is just another racist lie about Obama but it’s good to see that, rather than deny Trump’s racism, defenders of the orange racist have resorted to poorly informed whataboutery which has already been debunked.
So you can’t verify that trumps racist.. fair enough
None so blind as those who will not see. He says racist things. He acts in a racist manner. He endorses racist policies. He’s a racist.
Jusayinlike, you have a link showing that Obama signed off on a policy of separating Hispanic children from their parents and keeping them in cages like Trump did?
http://www.businessinsider.com/migrant-children-in-cages-2014-photos-explained-2018-5
“Unaccompanied minors”
“the pictures had been taken while the government was trying to “move those children out of those shelters as fast as humanly possible and connect them with their parents, most of whom were already in the United States.”
So not a campaign of separating Hispanic children from the parents and keeping them in cages.
Try again.
Were the children in cages Bert?
Was it a policy signed off by Obama to separate Hispanic children from their parents and put them in cages?
yes, now were the hispanic kids detained in cages in 2014?
You have a link showing Obama signed off on the policy of separating Hispanic kids from their parents and putting them in cages? Don’t see the mention of him signing it off in your link.
Wow using a tiny criminal minority to stoke fears about a larger group, nothing racist about that!
provide a link or go home Nigel..

Praise the Lord.
When a black pastor takes out the trash it’s okay.
But Trump is a racist for saying far less ?
Beret boy making a tool of himself again.
https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/jasper-williams-jr-aretha-franklin-eulogy-homegoing-funeral-old-school-black-lives-matter-antiquated/
So when Obama Admin caged kids was that racist?
[I posted links as evidence but the mods have yet to allow the post]
When Obama admin transferred kids to human traffickers was that racist?
As for the NAACP president: that seems to be just another butt-hurt liberal parroting the (false) narrative.
Like Trump having a few black fans, the failings of previous administrations don’t make him less racist but it is just awesome to see US alt right culture war style bad faith rhetoric being repeated on Trump’s behalf by someone calling themselves a culchie. Culchie war. Especially after the Jewish/Communist Vietnam torture thing.
whataboutery/semantic as per usual..
provide a link supporting your view that Trump is racist
So Obama is NOT RACIST for actually doing the things (and worse) you’re accusing Trump of doing.
You are the perfect embodiment of Trump Derangement Syndrome.
SAD!
Calm down, there, Culchie. Obama isn’t racist. Trump is.
No link Nigel and his baseless lies..

But remember, according to Nigel, Obama isn’t a racist.
He’s not. Which makes you guys racist apologists. At best. Anyone here concerned about white genocide at all by any chance?
There’s the white flag there..
I accept your surrender.
You are really bad at checking things David.
away with ya
I feel a bit sorry for Leo and co here.
Trump has decided to go and play golf in Dunbeg and the poor saps in govt have to toe the diplomatic ‘strong ties…historic connection’ etc
At the moment all thats confirmed is he’s going to Clare, he’ll visit dublin ‘if time permits’
Yeah
But you’ll still be wearing your pussy hat tho Rottie
It’ll be great. The pope’s visit mostly inspired the sad and depressing sort of anger because it genuinely meant a lot to lots of mammies and daddies and grannies people love so there was loads of ambivalence, but this could revive the Repeal spirit a bit, and the comedy of all the centre right politicians forced to be polite to a hugely unpopular and unpleasant figure, and the only people who like him will be edgelords and conspiracy nuts and quasi-fascists who are going to get so performatively hysterically happy about the visit they’ll be like the people in the video for Black Hole Sun. It’ll be a spectacle. All in all this could really raise the spirits of nation.
LOL
That’s pretty much spot on. Thanks Nigel, that raised a massive smile and made working today that little bit brighter!
How can one whiny little silly be so unfortunate

You can stop pretending now, Varadkar, Coveney et al. It’s an official visit you haven’t got the balls to admit to.
If we get down to Doonbeg early enough we can fill in all the holes on his golf course.
It’s gonna be a long few months on here.
Not if you spend it with me. Join me in the love and positivity corner…

Hey, remember when Trump was so triggered by America’s first black president that he spread a lie about him being born outside of America and right wing morons started calling to see a birth cert?
But, sorry, you were saying how he’s not a racist.
Is that racist? He could be just acting the Mick to wind you thick as planks silly up
Thanks for your opinion Bert, shame you can’t support it with a valid link…
Hey, remember when Clinton’s pal Sidney Blumenthal started the Obama birther story?
Remember when Obama released a “birth cert”?
Remember when Trump offered Obama $5 million to release his college records and details of his passport applications?

Remember when Obama ignored the offer?

The correct question is why did that racist Trump make such a concession to diversity?
Nigel keeps twisting history to his own ends.
Like all deranged lefties.
Still fails to offer evidence that Trump is a racist.
Prefers the comfort of lies.
Culchie always retreats to dramatic monologue when he doesn’t have an answer.
Nigel still fails to offer evidence that Trump is a racist.
Provide a link or we’ll all know you’re full of poo.
Heh,heh,heh.
Nigel has been furiously Googling all day and come up with nothing.
The Emperor has no clothes.
The current argument the he’s not racist is ‘but Obama’ and ‘but a black pastor.’ If you need Google or links to refute those there’s no hope for you.
I remember when Obama took the pee out of Trump at the White House Correspondents Dinner as the moment when Trump decided to run for POTUS.
That ended up well for the Democrats.
Yes he is driven by bitter resentment of a black man but hey not racist.
Say no to dope..
