The Indo Daily · Trump meets Catherine Connolly: What could possibly go wrong? · 10 Sep 2026 podcast

government might hope to achieve out of this to use our soft power, to use the golf, let's be blunt about it, to strengthen and to maintain our relationship with the United States.

We're gonna watch Rory

It could be straight by helicopter into the Phoenix Park.

So all the protests that happen in Dublin that are being planned, he's unlikely to really see or know about any of them.

All in all, it's costing twenty million to secure this visit.

Donald Trump is coming for the golf, pure and simple.

Uh I don't think there is a political strategy at play here.

I don't think there's any

policy objectives, so to speak.

I think he is coming to be in Dunbeg at his prized uh golf resort when it's ho hosting the Irish Open.

There's probably also an element that he needs a bit of a jolly.

He needs to get out a bit.

He needs a breather from the political pressure he's under back home, particularly over the misjudged uh conflict with Iran, the cost of living crisis, and midterm elections, which are kind of not really going his way.

So Donald Trump, who always kind of brushes off any controversy that comes in his

Uh he will travel to Phoenix Park and this is where the logistics come into play because there was all sorts of talk about whether he would turn the sod on a new US embassy that's gonna be built in Ballsbridge in Dublin.

That couldn't happen.

But even if it could happen, I think the logistics of containing this whole visit in the Phoenix Park was required from a security point of view.
