By some estimates, over fifty thousand protesters there holding up signs that Donald Trump is a war criminal, holding up signs that Donald Trump is complicit in genocide and slaughtering little children and women, holding up signs that Donald Trump has covered up the Epstein files.
Ben MeiselasHOST
Now, why is Donald Trump in Ireland at all? Why is he taking this trip? Well, he did a meeting with the Taoiseach, one of the leaders of Ireland, this morning.
Ben MeiselasHOST
But the real reason he's there is because of the Irish Open at his golf course.
Ben MeiselasHOST
Of course, this is all one massive grift, folks.

Ben MeiselasHOST
Here's another angle of those protests.
Ben MeiselasHOST
I'll just show you a short clip, and then I'm gonna show you where Donald Trump's with the Taoiseach, one of the leaders in Ireland, and Donald Trump's like, "I never saw any protests at all." But first, just another angle of that protest right here.

Conor MurphyGUEST
And so it's, it's not a surprise, I think, that he reflects those politics.
Conor MurphyGUEST
What we really want to see happen is the Taoiseach, who was sitting beside Donald Trump, take the hint and, and start to become more proactive in terms of preparation for reunification.
Owen Bennett JonesHOST
When you say the Taoiseach, you're referring to the Irish Prime Minister, calling on him to do those things.

Now, I mean, you say it's not a surprise.
Owen Bennett JonesHOST
I mean, the reporters in the room gasped with surprise when he said this.

Alex HoganCORRESPONDENT
It's a massive footprint, uh, and one that we heard the prime minister, or the Taoiseach, say, again, just how important that relationship is.

Mary ReganHOST
You know, like, Donald Trump probably thought he was doing Micheál Martin a favor here.
Richard HaassHOST
I was in Ireland.
Richard HaassHOST
I was literally meeting with the Prime Minister of Ireland, the Taoiseach at the time, when the planes hit the towers because one of my hats, besides being the head of the policy planning staff, was I was the U.S. envoy for the Northern Ireland peace process.
Richard HaassHOST

Richard HaassHOST
There I was in Dublin about to go to Belfast.
