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

Yeah. matched

Well of course. matched

I mean whenever the President of the United States goes anywhere, it's going to be very high profile and having in you know all the huge trappings uh that are there. matched

Uh but I think that the his responses to lots of questions, including the question on Gaza, uh indicates that Trump is sorta resolutely doesn't want to make this all about politics. matched

I mean he w there were non answers uh to most uh of those questions. matched

And and to Carol's point about um uh about Gaza, I mean the the reality on matched

on the ground and this is something I never expected to happen in my lifetime, is the shift in sentiment within the United States uh about the Middle East from that reflexively pro Israel position to a new one which is much more nuanced. matched

I never expected that to happen. matched

Yeah, look, I mean it's a relationship that for all sorts of reasons I'm deeply vested in. matched

Uh but i you know, I have to say that, you know, since obviously twenty fifth anniversary of September eleventh, um in the past twenty five years, I think that the ties uh are fraying. matched

And and I th I say that uh on the one on the one hand because of the slow to a trickle uh of emigration to the United States. matched

Uh and I say it on the other matched

I think there matched

And I say it on the other hand because of the very different and divergent uh worldview, uh collective worldview uh of people here in Ireland versus people in the United States. matched

I mean, it is a fact um that mainly on the Irish left, there's always been people who looked askance at the United States, and that's always been there, and that continues to be there, and we'll see the protests today. matched

But what concerns me more is the view that I'm hearing from so many people. matched

Basically about this visit even, just let's get it over with, let's get it out, let's get out unscathed, let's get this thing over. matched

And I think it's partly because a lot of Irish people look at the US, including people who lived in the United States, including people uh you know who ha who got the visa that bears my name and I'm so proud of, um, who look and say, That's not the country that I once knew. matched

They've gone in a totally different direction and they see an America that they don't understand. matched
