The Irish government must treat the U.S. president’s office with the respect it deserves when Donald Trump visits in November despite disagreeing with many of his policies, Prime Minister Leo Varadkar said ahead of planned protests.
SNIP
“I know a lot of people dislike him, a lot of people object to him, a lot of people disagree with a lot of his policies, just as I do in fact,” Varadkar said in an interview with national broadcaster RTE late on Sunday.
“But he is the president of America and the relationship between Ireland and the United States is much more important than any Irish government or any U.S. administration and I think we have to treat his office with the respect that it deserves.”

This used to be considered common sense.
Since he ain’t their president, they probably don’t give a tater what the p.m. says.
I fell on the floor laughing!
Screw the Irish of Ireland. DT should skip the trip entirely.
I love my Irish brethren and here is a favorite video of a good Irish man:

Heforgot to mention that quite a lot of people LIKE Trump. We voted for him.
Western Europeans are so useless in the fight against globalism. Our truest allies on the continent are those former Soviet bloc nations like Poland, the Czech Republic and Hungary! Even when they were under Russian control they were fighting for their freedom against tyranny!
Ha!
Those last two lines in the first part could have been me when I first opened up Free Republic:
“You’re a mad man!”
“I come to the right place, then.”
Ireland pandering to the socialists of the EU....sad.
Ireland is the socialist of EU.
What kind of an Irish name is Varadkar?
Yes. He studied gaylick.
They are free to behave however they like, but they should remember there will be consequences, favorable to Ireland or otherwise.
My thought also.....
You and me both!
When was the last time that any European respected an American president who isn’t Obama? Obama and his ilk despised the US which made him very popular in Europe, Ireland, Britain etc.
“Prime Minister Leo Varadkar said”
Wait a minute. Did the reporter get Leo’s name correct?
Shouldn’t it be O’Varadkar?
Where the he!! Is this, Ireland?
Let me guess he is Hindu or Muslim.
St. Patrick pray for us.
