      OK, grand… Were they even going in the first place? They’re not in government, so it wouldn’t have been a ministerial visit or part of the St Patrick’s Day Programme.

      This might actually get Martin uninvited too 😂

      Pretty smart from SF

      I’m surprised, they were quick to get on their knees for Genocide Joe but they draw the line at Mango Mussolini, hmmm, their moral grandstanding rings a bit hollow now.

      Did they get invited?

      I too am not travelling to the White House this March.

      The right decision. Things are bad in America and they’re only going to get worse between now and Paddy’s day. No-one in any way attached to Trump is coming out of this well. I 100% guarantee he hates Ireland anyway.

      BTW, if the Taoiseach does go, I’d like him to look Trump in the eye and say “Tá tú ag insint bréaga”. Seeing as it’s so mild, by his own reckoning, it should be fine.

      They aren’t serious operators. 

      Student union level stuff this is. Diplomacy is a grown-ups game.

      I think this thread is a great example of the sheer ignorance of the Irish voter base.

      Yes, SF do get an invite to visit the White House and yes, they have attended in the past. For example, in 2017 they did [meet Trump in the White House](https://www.irishtimes.com/news/politics/sinn-fein-td-denies-party-hypocrisy-over-donald-trump-1.2969375) because they felt it was important to maintain relations with him.

      Given Trumps current administration, his move towards the ethnic cleansing of Gaza (Dems aren’t innocent of this either), his calls that the administration can do whatever it wants without the checks and balances in place, and imposing a number of stupid tariffs on other countries, we shouldn’t bend the knee to that man.

      I mean we are talking about an administration that is actively saying it doesn’t believe in soft power. Very eager to see what will actually be accomplished by those who do attend.

      Missed opportunity.

      I know this is against popular opinion, but it’s easier to tell someone that they’re wrong in person.

      A boycott should only be used as a last resort, and will likely feed into Trumps ‘us against them’ mindset

      This isn’t how diplomacy works.

      Clowns. They’ll never get to run this country, hopefully.

      Most of our tax revenue comes from 10 US companies. Is that really a good idea?

      The US is fast becoming a pariah state under Trump don’t believe Rubios bullshit either. The EU needs to reinforce the point to Trump and his admin that they are wrong in their approach to Ukraine and Gaza, end of story.
