Brendan O'Connor · President Trump - "A united Ireland would be a very cool thing" · 12 Sep 2026 podcast

Well listen, um it's it's been going well so far, um the visit.

And I just wanted just to maybe just to ask you, um, how do MAGA voters view Ireland and Europe more broadly a a at this moment in time?

think any of us expected that that intervention, Lindy.

Can I ask you just obviously the the president referenced um the midterm the forthcoming midterm elections in the context of a question he was asked about Iran, but you are closely watching the midterms too and uh you know his base are watching it.

What's your assessment of the Trump's approach so far?

Because um that five thousand euro dividend would suggest that he is very concerned about the outcome and yet some people even Republicans

Republicans feel that he might be a potential liability on the campaign trail.

to listeners, Lindy, he promised five thousand dollars to every American if the Republicans win the m midterms.

Um not really sure how it was all going to be paid for, but it it did uh secure quite a very strong and immediate bipartisan backlash to that measure.

So it it it it hasn't appealed to his base.

be there anymore.

You don't want to be there.

And he rode into power on the pr on the promise that there will be no more forever wars.

Do you think um um looking at you know f from the US, when you you're you're there, do you think that he's maybe perhaps too focused

overseas.

Look I mean, c could he afford I mean in financial terms, but he could he afford uh what what is essentially a personal uh trip to Ireland to visit his golf club this weekend or people would like to see him

back at base uh and getting ready for the midterms.

That's really funny.

prices here at home.

And now Yemen as well, Larry Donnelly, um things are are changing and changing quite quickly.
