And Catherine Connolly to me it appears as coming out a bit of a win-win.
Um she managed to not really upset Donald Trump, um, maybe even igniting uh or sparking in him um, you know, something about Northern Ireland and all her talk about the famine and Ireland's history of uh colonization, etc.
But she raised the issues which people said she couldn't or wouldn't raise and which the parties of the left wanted her to raise.
mean in did anyone in the room know why he did that or why he deferred his head of protocol because I mean, did what Catherine Connolly say just go over his head?
Did they have two different versions of the conversation or
Yeah, I think uh yeah, her biggest p d di diplomatic test so far.
Um finally just one other point th that you both might want to comment on.
Do you think there was a political element of Donald Trump's United Ireland comments to the extent that there are thirty something million uh Irish Americans uh whose votes are up for grabs in the midterm elections?
Do you think there might have been something like that at play?
And everyone's shouting.
So some questions break through and some don't.
So the course of this meeting could have been very different.
Um
you know, if if if if that question didn't uh break through.
And uh now of course he's off to Dunbeg for the golf.
Um and you know, we'll hope that the the the hard part and the tricky
Finishing part is is over.
What do you think?
So not out of the woods or maybe not out of the bunker just yet.
Uh if you want more on this, you can subscribe to the Irish Independent, where we'll have plenty of updates on Trump's visit.
