John Halligan urges US to vote against Donald Trump

Junior minister John Halligan has called US presidential candidate Donald Trump an “asshole” and says US military planes should be banned from stopping in Shannon Airport.

Mr Halligan also said companies Google, Facebook, and Apple do not pay enough tax and need to pay more.

Speaking to Hot Press magazine in the second part of an interview this week, the Waterford TD was critical of Donald Trump: “He’s nuts. I think he’s homophobic. I think he’s racist. I think he’s extreme right wing. I think he’s a clown. I think he’s no knowledge of foreign affairs. And, I think, he’s dangerous.
