After their meeting at the White House, Mr Kenny said Mr Trump was surprised at the number of undocumented Irish in the US, saying "I think he might have felt that that might have been a higher figure." Mr Kenny said: "At the end of the day, this is going to require co-operation on the Hill between Republicans and Democrats, and the President is very conscious of the majority that the Republican Party has in the Senate and in the Congress." He said that his conclusion on the discussion, was that "there is clear agreement to work constructively in this regard to deal with this matter."

"That's an issue that can lift the concern and the fear and the anxiety that many Irish undocumented might have." Meanwhile, President Trump has said he will come to Ireland during his term in office. Responding to a question from RTÉ News, Mr Trump said he was planning to visit Ireland during his term in office and said that he loved Ireland - "absolutely, I'll be there for sure." Mr Trump also tweeted a two-minute video montage saying it was an honour to welcome Mr Kenny to the White House.

Mr Trump also tweeted a two-minute video montage saying it was an honour to welcome Mr Kenny to the White House. After their meeting, Mr Kenny said the two leaders had discussed the election in Northern Ireland and the potential issues around the border due to Brexit. He told reporters that the President had asked a number of questions about what the hard border had meant in the past. The Taoiseach said he had informed Mr Trump about customs posts, the sectarian violence that had come with this and that during those times it had been impossible to travel from some counties in the Republic into Northern Ireland because of roads being impassable and blown up. He said he had given President Trump a detailed account of the outcome of the recent election in Northern Ireland and told him of the priority to put together an executive that would provide a voice for Northern Ireland.[/QUOTE] Uh sorry if I have posted too much, it's a long article and a lot of it is important. Honestly Trump didn't fuck it up entirely it seems. At-least this meeting. He hasn't said anything stupid, let's hope it stays that way... BUT ONE MUST POINT OUT THIS SHITTYNESS: [IMG]https://img.rasset.ie/000db694-500.jpg[/IMG] Look at this ungodly sight. Not only is it completely against our sensibilities, he put a fucking 4 LEAF CLOVER on it instead of a shamrock. Disgraceful.

[QUOTE=Shalaska;51970778]Aw god, please don't.[/QUOTE] Unfortunately it is gonna happen. It's gonna be the most depressing day, especially if Trump tries to pull Irish connections out of his arsehole.
