Trump may cancel a planned trip to Ireland because he wants to meet at his own private golf course.

I tried to post yesterday evening, but I had a slow connection that kept dropping out.

This would be pushing the limits for LBN.

You'll never guess who would be handed the bill for this.

Rucker needs to proofread his tweets.

Trump wants everyone to pay for access, food, and drinks at his stupid club.

Or the Irish will pay the grifter. You don't want that, they don't want that!

the Irish will demonstrate against his fat ass disgracing their soil. As if his "brand" won't suffer anyway. The man's an unmitigated prick. He's losing money hand over fist and can only work bribes to get money. Once he's no longer running our nation into the ground, his successor ought to issue an official apology to the entire planet for allowing him to take office and keep it for more than a month.

I am spending the summer in Ireland and one of the biggest things looking forward to is no Trump!

I doubt I would be anywhere near him but no local news of him would be a plus!

If I were them, I would keep my dealings with Trump to a minimum. I'm not saying they should be rude; he carries grudges; but I would only communicate with him if it's unavoidable.

Paid for by taxpayers but free to him. Advertising his "brand" is all he knows. I'm not sure the Irish and other Europeans are suckers for advertising the way so many Americans obviously are so it may not help his golf shithole much.
