Enda Kenny should visit Donald Trump, but must not hold his hand

The world of politics has been thrown into total and utter disarray over the past couple of weeks. Donald Trump has hit the ground running as US president and has introduced a number of executive orders that have created global apoplexy.

Commentators here and elsewhere are going berserk, but they and the rest of us are currently powerless in the face of a president who is intent on flexing his muscles. After all, at the end of the day, as leader of the country, he should be entitled to stop most anybody he wants to from entering the US.

In fact many of those who voted for him, voted for this exactly. We may not like it, but that is the reality we have to live with for the moment.
