A spokeswoman for the Irish government tells me that President Trump's planned trip to Ireland in November has been postponed, adding "the US side has cited scheduling reasons."

Trump Cancels Visit To Ireland After The Irish Make It Clear That He’s Not Welcome


Trump is postponing his trip to Ireland as massive protests were being planned and Irish officials say they weren’t looking forward to his visit.

Sarah Sanders refused to confirm that the trip was off:









However, Irish officials were breathing a sigh of relief:

Trump canceled because of planned Irish protests

The Guardian reported, “A number of groups announced they would stage protests during the Trump visit, in which the president had been expected to visit the capital Dublin and his golf resort in the west coast village of Doonbeg.”




The Trump administration told the Irish government that they were canceling for “scheduling reasons,” but the real reason why Trump isn’t coming is the scheduled protests...............................................




Ireland says Trump visit cancelled but White House claims no decision made

The Irish government has said that Donald Trump’s visit to Ireland in November – a trip that would have been his first as US president – will not go ahead because of scheduling issues.

But Sarah Sanders, the White House press secretary, seemed to contradict that view by saying that no decision had yet been made.

Sanders said at a press briefing on Tuesday afternoon: “The president will travel to Paris in November as previously announced. We are still finalizing whether Ireland will be a stop on that trip. As details are confirmed we will let you know.”

There's no reason he can't do that in Dublin just as easily as in DC or Paris or anywhere else for that matter.

We've been to Ireland and it's one of the most beautiful places on the planet!

The people are amazingly friendly and helpful. The food is fantastic and the history is nearly incomprehensibly ancient.

By the way, didn't we once have a President O'Bama, you know, a Black Irishman?
