      Why should we take advice from a guy who ran one of the worst election campaigns ever seen, has no clue about economics and has done everything to ensure this country relies on big multinationals and that the ordinary Irish people are left behind.

      Can we launch Simon Harris? Don’t really care where he lands so long as it’s far away.

      When will our gov stop picking fights and actually sort itself out?

      Well, we’re going to have to deal with the reality of the situation and the only tools we really have are diplomatic ones. So it’s a bit of a case of stating the blatantly obvious.

      I mean realistically, what else are we going to do? Telling him to go f**k himself isn’t really going to achieve much. I mean it would be cathartic, but it’s not very likely to get us much of a useful response.

      The question is whether the 2016+ admin will make dealing with him easier or harder. The man seems more lunatic and devolved than last time, but he’s also a deeply incurious, ignorant man vulnerable to flattery. You’d wanna imagine this time World Leaders won’t be caught napping trying to treat him like a normal President.

      Simons a fool. “Diplomatic offensive” is a paradox, the whole point of diplomacy is to *not* be offensive.

      Why do we suddenly need to launch an “offensive”, now that Trump is in power? To bicker with a foreign leader, just because you don’t like them, is the opposite of diplomacy.

      I’d rather not lose my job in STEM because Simon Harris wants to swing his micropeepee around. Our economy is held together by US FDI, we do not need to get into disputes with the people paying many of our bills.

      Many Irish politicians hate Trump, more than they care about their constituents/economy, and it shows.

      I would rather not piss of America. All our clients are American companies, without them we are done.

      Whoever high up in the civil service who should be restraining simple Simon needs to be doing a better job.

      Why should working class Irish care, not like life was any different with Biden as president of the US.

      The anti Trump and pro Trump brigades in Ireland are usually clueless and regurgitating shite they read on social media.

      What about the illegal immigrants and abortion????
      Yeah how about we worry about and solve our own abortion laws and migrant problems.

      Just keep them puke bags coming, I got your platitudes on lock.

      Only way you’d win Trump over would be to stroke his ego

      Simon will have to deal with the ‘oul ghoul will he? At least DT will hate David Lammy even more…there is that at least

      Uh. Maybe. I think Trump is too chaotic to make plans with, but sure, give it a go.

      I’d rather we strengthened a diplomatic push with the rest of the EU to figure out how to make the EU a bloc that can stand on it’s own – at least during the periods where the American electorate skips their meds.

      So, we are at war with Israel and the USA? Not a bother, we’ve been in worse situations not that long ago.

    19. amarrly on

      Do you think the Irish vote still matters for a US president like it use to?.

    20. SharLiJu on

      America needs to severely penalize all companies that avoid taxes through the Irish loophole.
      I don’t think Trump will do this but it’s time.

      He wants to buy Greenland…. What if, go with me now… we offer Ireland as the 51st state.

      At the rate we do things, he’ll be 20 years out of office before it’s costed and we get to kick the can down the road…
