The only good thing about Donald Trump’s visit to Ireland is that it will be here less than two full days.
Just hours before the mob boss that is the current US President arrives here President Michael D Higgins described Trump’s policies on climate change as “regressive and pernicious”.
I have a feeling Michael D might apply that description to Trump himself if he were not this country’s Head of State.
Let’s face it, if a guy who looked and acted like Donald Trump came to your door and asked to come into your house you’d probably ring the Guards or try to beat him away yourself.
Unfortunately, voters in the US thought it was a good idea to make this misogynistic multiple-bankrupt reality TV host their president so we have to reluctantly accept he is coming here.
While there are protests planned they are unlikely to worry a man who is a living lie whose moral compass was thrown away with his umbilical cord.
Unlike the visit of Barack Obama there will be no downing of pints of Guinness as Trump doesn’t drink alcohol so he can’t even use that as an excuse for his despicable behaviour around women.
I actually feel sorry for Leo Varadkar who is tasked with meeting this 110 kilogramme blob of walking malevolence at Shannon Airport.
Before he came to office, former Taoiseach Enda Kenny branded Donald Trump “racist and dangerous” and he was dead right.
It is somewhat ironic that Trump is in Europe to commemorate the D-Day landings and the brave soldiers who gave their lives in the fight against the Nazis given that his racism has given encouragement to those who would replace freedom with fascism.
