  1. Congratulating the end of democracy in the west. Pathetic.

  2. “So this is how liberty dies. With thunderous applause.”

  3. I honestly want us to go back to baby trump balloon and the fake beheading photos and such. 2016 was real democracy.

    All these assassination and imprisonment attempts are just boring.

  4. Oh I’m sure those warmest congratulations will stop Trump from taking aim at Ireland with tariffs and economic attacks.

  5. I don’t want to know what trumps arse tastes like.

    I guess these two do now.

  6. Is he not barred from entering ireland due to his felony convictions?

  7. Here we have r/ireland geopolitical masterminds wanting little Ireland to become openly hostile to the president of the United States of America.

  8. I’m not sure what people expect. Our gov have rightly called a lot of the nasty crap he stands for over the years, but he’s now the President of the US and it’s their job to maintain diplomatic relations with the US, there is no other way to respond to this. Every European government is doing the same.

  9. This is just standard stuff lads. They’re doing as all the world leaders are doing; appeasing the mentally deficient chimp. I’m sure they have their fingers crossed behind their backs.

  10. I do not like him but what do we expect him to do. Of course he’s going to congratulate him. I want them to follow through with the occupied Territories Bill and I’m mad they clearly won’t. I know there will be backlash but we need to have a backbone.

    I don’t want him to be openly hostile to the American president. We should be welcoming him with open arms. He has done nothing to us yet. And that man loves to have his ego rubbed

    You can disagree with that man while also blowing smoke up his arse

    People said the same when Leo Vradkar congratulated him last time. Be for real.

  11. Anyone who works for an American corporation can understand this

  12. I always enjoy these posts because it just descends into people in the comment section looking to argue with someone else. And then they just disagree over nothing. Heh heh

  13. We better know which side our bread is buttered on boys & girls… Looking at you smug liberal types, pipe down and let the adults get to work!

  14. I suppose every horror film has to have some comedy in it….

  15. It’s actually laughable he wants to visit but trump wants to screw the Irish economy up .

  16. I think we’re about to see what would’ve happened if Nazi Germany was an established economic super power and I hate everything involved.

  17. if Adolf Hitler, rolled in today, they’d send the limousine anyway!

  18. Remember, Trump thought there was a wall between the North and South, comparing it to the US-Mexico border.

  19. I think he may have crossed his fingers behind his back when he said this

  20. It would be funny if it wasn’t so sad. The only saving grace is that it’s not just our politicians and officials that have been berating and making fun of Trump’s worldview for the past 4+ years.

    Like when all the tech companies and CEOs had to kiss the ring and donate vast amounts of money to Trump’s inauguration party, our politicians and officials as well as others in neighbouring states have to bend the knee and to put it more crudely apply the lube.

    The pendulum has swung, the problem is that it was artificially held high on the left/progressive side of the movement for so long that when it swings right it is going to swing to the extreme.

    It’s going to be entertaining to see what happens.

  21. Just to point out to everyone, top US government officials are now doing [literal Nazi salutes](https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2025/jan/20/trump-elon-musk-salute), right out in the open.

    Something Fine Gael historically has in common.

    We are _much much closer_ to a modern return to fascism and an end to Democracy, than anyone appreciates.

    People aren’t going to be able to defend themselves from that with pacifism…

    If folks being chewed up by our governments deliberate crises, aren’t willing to get serious about defending themselves (hint: waiting for the ballot box every 4-5 years does _fuck all_), then expect to be literally snuffed out one way or the other – driven onto the streets and invited to top yourself, as fast or as slow as you like – or by fascists when they get around to toppling Democracy, and wiping out those who oppose them.
