No point saying otherwise, this is a terrible thing

Alison O’Connor wonders if Donald Trump is really going to stop telling lies, stop swearing revenge on those who cross him, stop looking at women as objects who exist for his sexual gratification, or stop pandering to the base instincts of those who would wish to make America great and white again?

How it will stick in the craw if we have to watch our Taoiseach go to Washington in March and hand over the traditional bowl of shamrock to the new president of the US.

Personally, I’d rather eat the green clover, and the cut glass bowl it is contained in, than have us debase ourselves by having to “make nice” with Donald Trump.
