Right, thanks. I listened to two of his video appearances yesterday in which he discussed those ideas. I was thinking it over last night. I may disagree to an extent.

Will Ireland become a US state too? A commonwealth perhaps?

Somehow mending fences here, between those woke-ity Irish and the Chosen People, that would make a nice bit of newsreel. Not so?

Irish have always had a natural empathy for the Palestinians. Not sure how that interacts with the anti-Moslem sentiment provoked by the EU refugee influx.

Not so sure that Ireland can count on the diasporics here to have its back as it once could. General sentiment, as far as I can glean, is that, in Ireland's rush from "proud paper tiger" success story of the early 2000s to aggressive post-Brexit EU replacement chaser, its full-on embrace of EU/WEF policies and social dynamics has rendered Ireland largely unrecognizable to many of us who once supported her with our cash and our hearts. Of course, NY, Chicago, Boston, etc. 'machines' will continue to do their thing, but less effectively, I suppose.

I note that his adversaries who are beating cheeks to Mar-a-lago may be hoping if they make nice with him perhaps he wont' do them what they did to him i.e. defame him, take him to court, attempt to bankrupt him and finally attempt to kill him. I suspect Trump will get some revenge but it will be done in a way that resonates with those who have had 16 years of abuse foisted upon them by the Zionists and Democrats who have used the Alinsky tactics to cruelly abuse most American citizens out of hatred..

Also I noticed, Trump is lavishing hospitality on his former adversaries at Mar-a-Lago, which has not gone unnoticed as they all seem to want to go there now. He is at ease there, and I think maybe some are seeing him for the first time as an ally. Much can be accomplished when they aren't at each other's throats, so to speak.

Like Trudeau?

True. But I give them no credit because of how they have treated Trump thus far and also because there is really nowhere else for them to look to curry favor at this point.

“Of course, the big question for the Irish is, what does Ireland have to offer Trump?” I dunno. A pint of Guinness shared with Van Jones?

Cheap labor and favorable regulatory climate, historically.

But the Don thinks bigger than that. Maybe we could build a military base there? Be within easy striking distance of the City of London. We can dream!
