Forget Greenland and Canada, why doesn't Tr*mp point his colonial ambitions towards a United Ireland?
I'm sure they'd love to become the 51st US State. They've always had a very good relationship with the USA. They were often helped by the US to raise funds for the IRA, and various Presidents have openly welcomed Sinn Féin's (IRA) political representatives.
It is well known that the origin of Americans is 90% Irish, 5% Scottish, 3% African, and 2% Latino, so it would seem logical for Ireland to become a little satellite US colony on the edge of mainland Europe. The Irish have always been desperate to leave their homeland in exchange for the USA; just look at the popularity of St Patrick's Day; it's bigger over there than it is in Ireland itself!
It was always said that Westminster handed-out money in order of how much the different member countries of the United Kingdom hated us. Ireland received the most as they hated us the most, then Scotland a bit less, then Wales, with the least amount being saved for the downtrodden English who pay for it all. I'm sure if a referendum was held in Ireland, a majority would vote to join the USA.
So come along Tr*mp, forget about Greenland and Canada; aim your sights at a country who might actually welcome you! You could make them all spell incorrectly, install McDonalds canteens in all schools, and insist that no newborns are named Paddy or Paddette, but either 'Man' or 'Bro' instead. You could also build a few Country Clubs and Golf Courses, as well as a US Air Force camp and a Nuclear Submarine base. And in future you could change Ireland's patron saint from St Patrick to St Donald.
Once all the Irish have re-located to NY, and joined the police, maybe you could even build a huge super-secure Emerald Isle Prison, where you could send your facially-tattooed unwanted cat-eating illegal immigrants, who would be forced to cultivate all the Potatoes required by the US! There would be plenty of space.
Brilliant! Nothing else, just brilliant!
ReplyDeleteIt could happen; who knows!!!
DeleteWhat a good idea!
ReplyDeleteI think so. 'Trump Island'.
DeleteSeveral members of my family live on the west coast of Ireland. Your proposal would not go down very well with them. Most Irish people in that region find amusement in the number of Yanks who turn up thereabouts searching for their "roots"! "Oh feck! Not more of the feckers! There was a fecking coachload of the feckers yesterday!""
ReplyDeleteThere is a constant flow between the two countries. Those with rose-tinted glasses who want to see their Ireland of old, and those who are looking for streets paved with gold.
DeleteBegorra - now that's a very clever idea Cro, so it is!
ReplyDeleteI hope Tr*mp sees it that way.
DeleteWhat is the next target? That's the big question.
ReplyDeleteTrade wars and tariffs seem to be of interest.
A Gaza resort seems to lack luster.
Ending wars is not happening quickly.
Prices are on the rise.
Economically... it is shake, rattle and roll.
You've summed it up pretty well. It's all a bit of a mess at the moment.
DeleteHave pity on those Irish. Their lives I'm sure are a lot happier without another McDonald's or golf course.
ReplyDeleteThey've got pubs and Guinness and damn good music
So why are they all desperate to go to America? I agree, it's a great country!
