a taxpayer funded pub crawl... check




Donald Trump jr & brother Eric receive a warm reception as they arrive at Morrissey’s pub, the first of four bars on a pub crawl of Doonbeg, buying drinks and thanking locals for their support of the family’s golf resort - via @IrishTimes IrishTimes #TrumpVisit #TrumpInIreland

5 pubs in an hour.




So I got to ask @EricTrump a question as the Trumps did a pub crawl thru Doonbeg - is his trip a good use of US taxpayer money? ‘We’re just trying to have a good time’ the answer, poses for selfies, refuses to answer further & ducks into Madigans pub surrounded by fans &security

should be reimbursed for the travel, hotels and transport of these free loaders. Grifters to the core, as useless as their lazy orange daddy.

Is this pub crawl a good use of taxpayer money?

"We're just trying to have a good time"

Interpretation..."No, no it isn't. Fuck you all anyway"

Such as "Pog mo thoin!" and "Is amadain iad, gan amhras"



(for those without the Irish, that's "Kiss my....shamrock" and "They are (intrinsically) fools, without a doubt" )

That would be news. Somehow, though, I suspect payment for those rounds will ultimately be made by the American taxpayers.
