Trump's Face in a Urinal Defines His Popularity in Ireland

His golden opportunity to impress the Irish people was flushed away long ago.

Ireland just finished venerating its patron Saint Patrick this weekend, but while the Irish Prime Minister was meeting with President Donald Trump in the lead up to the festivities, Trump's effigy popped up in Ireland.


Trump, sporting a green shamrock, hosted Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar at the White House last week and proclaimed that he "loves the Irish." Trump also told Varadkar:

"It's my great honor to receive this magnificent bowl of Ireland's great shamrocks. [Irish people are] full of love, warmth, grit and resolve. The US has truly been blessed with the luck of the Irish to have you with us today."

The love isn't mutual. In a pub in downtown Dublin, Trump's face is plastered inside a urinal. It's been there since July 2016, and Twitter user Damien Owens wanted Trump to know how the Irish really feel about our 45th president.

"Trump seems to be under the impression that he's popular here in Ireland. This is in a Dublin pub toilet."

Giphy

The poster was featured in headlines after it stolen by someone who worked at a "social media company" who wanted it all to himself. The pub was offering a $120 bar tab for the safe return of the poster.

"Somebody stole Donald from our urinal and we badly want him back," the poster read. "Our bathroom is just not the same without him and the enjoyment of using the urinal without Donald's face on it has left us feeling sad."

"It was returned to us. It was taken by an employee from of a well known social media company," the employee told Indy 100. "He took it because he wanted it for his own house."

The manager of the bar, called Adelphi, expanded on the theft to Newsweek.

"It was taken by an American company who had a corporate party event in our bar," said Adelphi bar manager Tony McCabe. "They said it was taken because the [managing director] of the company wanted it for his personal bathroom in his office."

Twitter users shared their thoughts about Trump, and pretty much confirmed what Owens was saying.

Tell us how you really feel, Carolyn...And then the one obligatory American chimed in, not phased in the least.

And for the clap back, because what is Saint Patrick's Day in America besides wishing you were Irish?

Newsmax Host Epically Blasted For His Hypocrisy After Defending Trump's Profane Easter Tweet

Newsmax host Greg Kelly defended President Donald Trump's use of profanity in his Easter morning threat to Iran, prompting critics to resurface one of his own past tweets calling for a ban on use of the f-word.

Trump lashed out at Iran amid growing concerns about tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow passage at the entrance to the Persian Gulf that carries roughly 20% of the world’s oil supply. Recently, Iran has struck several vessels in the area and warned ships against entering the passage, effectively halting traffic through one of the world’s most crucial energy routes.

At least two Republican politicians are facing criticism after they fell for a clearly A.I.-generated photo of the rescue of two U.S. airmen whose fighter jet went down in Iran over the weekend.

U.S. special forces rescued the second crew member of an F-15 fighter jet shot down over Iran, according to three U.S. officials cited by Axios. The crew member, a weapons systems officer, was wounded after ejecting from the aircraft Friday but was able to walk and evaded capture in the mountains for more than a day.
