guessing martin is in for a bit of a shit show what with the resignation of a senior official in trumps inteligence agency over iran and israel influence
I don’t think he has a choice but to be there. The ramifications for the country of taking a stance could be potentially crushing.
Remember Micheál the three answers
1. Yes
2.That would be an ecumenical matter
and reluctantly 3. Drink!
Meeting was for 3pm Irish time: some hold-up seemingly? Video live now.
With everything happening this morning I’d say they’ll be very little focus on Ireland here. Can’t imagine Martin having to do much here
EDIT: Cunt is in a grand mood today
Well…nobody gets‘ to pick family, colleagues or leaders of other nations….I’m sure he will wash his hands with disinfectant and holy water afterwards….
I know he doesn’t have a great deal of choice, but he should not be there this year.
The Cuban people have not had any oil imports for 3 months due to Trumps embargo.
He’s facilitating a genocide in Gaza and now is wrecking the global economy because Israel told him he could wipe out Iran.
It’s shameful for our leader to suck up to this pedophile rapist.
I’d say Michael and the PR can’t believe their luck with the resignation news this morning. Just needs to smile and wave
Hope McGregor is a ‘no show’
After being snubbed last year for a coke head… why would he go?
Trump is going to talk shit about our country to Martin’s face again and he’ll just sit there and take it
The fucking head on Martin.
The Quiet Man is on in the background and the scene in which the two lads, who bait the shite out of each other later in the movie, meet for the first time and get into a handshake battle, that’s where Trump learned to shake hands.
Martin talking about presidential visits to Ireland but no mention of Biden or Obama. Doesn’t want to annoy Don obviously.
Donald J. Trump is a racist, pedo, serial sexual assault committing, fucking fat orange desperate clown and its shameful that this visit happened
Our own journalists asking the real questions: what about the snails in Doonbeg??
[Martin in his chair right now…](https://media0.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExNTQyc3Rjcjg1Y2I5Ymtnd3Y4OGs0cm92NHF3YmQyMGlsajE4OHkxbCZlcD12MV9pbnRlcm5hbF9naWZfYnlfaWQmY3Q9Zw/jUwpNzg9IcyrK/giphy.gif)
He did ok in the chat
I’d say he’s shrinking back into the seat during this Q and A and praying he doesn’t have to contribute
E: what’s he doing!! DON’T VOLUNTEER TO COMMENT ON THIS
Any chance of a question for the taoiseach anyone
Appreciating the silence from Michael during this madness. Get in and get out.
When you reluctantly meet up with a friend you don’t really talk to anymore and then they spend the whole night in the smoking room talking shite to randomers.
Martin must be sitting there just praying he isn’t asked a question an to get the fuck out of this circus
Lol the „late great Winston Churchill“ in a meeting with the Taoiseach.
Oh Martin is actually piping up to defend Starmer
Did Martin just say the trump was doing his bit for peace in Gaza? Wild.
I liked Martin better when he wasn’t talking.
Micheál keep the head down don’t throw yourself on the grenade!
pure cringe to watch
Honestly if this was an auld lad talking in the pub eventually someone would tell him to stop talking pure shite.
Michael is doing a great job
Was that a question about Connolly’s comments trump batted off? Hard to hear.
To quote the Thick of It „This is like watching a clown run through a mine field“
I don’t know who the fuck that Irish Journo who tried to throw the idiotic grenade about Connolly’s comments but I’ve never been gladder to see Trump slap a reporter down
Are the Irish journalists there just focused on doing damage to Ireland?
>**“HE** is lucky I exist“
Fucking hell.
Did he just say „He’s lucky I exist“ to a question about Catherine Connolly? Fuckin eejit 😂
Martin is rambling and did Trump just say ‚he‘ re. President Connolly.
An Irish person bringing up Connolly’s comments directly to trump while Martin is sitting there doesn’t seem wise for Ireland
America is a very sick country if they voted for this clown.
Trump just created 1000 transgender Irish presidents
That journalist was very desperate to ask that question about Catherine Connolly.
Trump called our president a he. Shouldn’t he get a very basic briefing that covers things like that? At the very least. Plus his tirade about Europe. Bizarre
Mission successful, got out without any major drama aimed at Ireland and pushed back a little on behalf of Europe (albeit fairly rambling). That’ll do
Say what you want about him as a domestic leader, but Martin knows how to be a diplomat. Subtly gets Ireland’s points in a way that doesn’t trigger Dementia Don’s mental rambling. Can’t imagine another party leader doing a better job
Great job by Michael.
Good chemistry and put Ireland interests ahead during global events. This will put our economy on great footing thank fuck.
Could have gone worse. Not great, not terrible.
He did well in fairness.
