Update:
NEW: Pres Trump to Irish PM Varadkar on #Brexit –
“You’ll have to tell me what’s happening…I’m not sure anyone knows” (per TV pooler @kwelkernbc)

In the Oval Office, President Trump says Ireland’s PM Leo Varadkar is in a tough spot with Brexit, before adding “I’m not sure anyone knows” what’s happening with it and noting that U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May did not take his suggestions on how to negotiate it (via pool)

Trump hopes to visit Ireland this year 🚨 @VirginMediaNews

Trump: I have gotten to know Varadkar very well – Brexit is “turning out to be a little more complex than they thought it will be, but it’s all going to work out. It always does.” Says he respects Ireland’s position pic.twitter.com/hoejW1PtxV

I wonder did he mix up Ireland with Britain? Trump has form in this regard.

I’m totally confused as to why the Chief Justice and the Attorney General of Ireland were with Leo at the charity dinner last night,in the middle of a fraud and embezzlement investigation,with a court case pending and possibly criminal charges…..
Trips to Ireland are part of the investigation, why would the state send its Chief Justice and AG to a scandal ridden charity dinner, that’s embroiled in very messy court cases/criminal investigations,possibly involving Ireland trips-who’d she meet there as a senior executive of this charity ?

Is Perry in DC again despite RTE having a US correspondent-or covering this from Ireland ?

Irish Times 2017: ‘She has a nice smile’: Trump singles out RTÉ’s Caitriona Perry..
Back for more cringe news stories
Very confusing as loss making RTE also has Brian O’Donovan duplicating Perry’s coverage, why would a loss making state broadcaster send an evening news reader all the way from Ireland to basically cover, what its own US based hack is already doing…..
Doesn’t loss-making RTE send a plane-load of their stars and staff to Washington for the St Patrick’s Day festivities? Isn’t attendance at the St Patrick’s Day ball the ticket they all aspire to getting? At our expense.
God Almighty, enough with the axe grinding.
she’s there as an anchor, not a reporter. Most news networks broadcast remote anchors. this is not unusual no matter how hard you try and make it so
Heeemmmm
Is that right ….
‘before adding “I’m not sure anyone knows” what’s happening with it’
For once his stock phrase for hiding his own ignorance chimes with the truth.
John Bolton and Andrew Jackson lurking in the background there like intergenerational manifestations of one of the horsemen of the apocalypse.
Can’t believe NONE of them bothered to wear a green MAGA hat.
Bolton was involved in the whole Libertas/Ganly/Ulick McEvaddy and Rivada lobbying/campaign against the Lisbon Treaty.

He’s also one the biggest supporters of Brexit.
“Trump isn’t the only senior White House official rooting for Brexit. National security adviser John Bolton talks regularly by phone with his Brexiteer friends inside Theresa May’s imploding government — Cabinet ministers Liam Fox and Chris Grayling — according to a May government source.”

The shamrock thing is on live tonight at 6 pm at -will post link/coverage later
Here is their pre-lunch meeting in full.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TxFyZIj8K20
At least our unelected Taoiseach didn’t embarrass us with corney sicks…yet.
Its early yet, only 1pm over here…wait til he’s had a few G&T’s.
Enough of the “unelected Taoiseach” scutter! Leo’s as “unelected” as Brian, Bertie, Enda, Bruton, Albert etc
Can you tell us how many Taoisigh you have elected? In my 30 year experience as a voter I’ve never elected a Taoiseach and unless you live in Varadkar’s constituency, you couldn’t have voted for him anyway.
bet you’ve been saving that headline for a while bodger!
Fupping ages!
When did we get a PM?
Tuesday
Do these self pleasurers not get enough press covfefe?
