International laughing stock and bilious buffoon
Donald "Rump" Trump can't go a
week few days without hitting the golf links. Today, he's in Ireland to play golf at his course in Doonbeg. He had asked Irish Taoiseach Leo Varadkar to meet him at the golf course, but the Irish leader declined to give Trump a free advertisement (Varadkar respects our emoluments clause more than Rethugs do). The upshot of Varadkar's decision is that Trump
will have a brief meeting at Shannon Airport's VIP lounge before Trump heads off to play golf. It's a delicious counterpoint to the pomp of Buckingham Palace, and we hope Trump enjoys the loudspeakers blaring flight information while he chats with Varadkar.
