If you fly to Ireland to play at the less expensive courses, compared to American courses, you're still ultra rich. This is a stupid statement by this sports commentator.

Trump is anything but the US "President"!
🪷 Thank you 🌻
There was plenty of colorful language used at a huge protest today in Dublin against Trump.
Meanwhile the United States has an EMOLUMENTS CLAUSE stating that the president must take a salary of $400,000 a year and cannot earn money in any other way!!SMH every other president had to to divest himself from all other business interests. Jimmy Carter had to give up his peanut farm. But like every other law Donald Trump just ignores it and thinks it doesn't apply to him. 2:58
Gavin Looney is an ultra left-wing, smarmbag dose who writes for an ultra left-wing rag called the Irish Times. Trump has brought hundreds of jobs to a place in Doonbeg in County Clare which is a very rural place via his hotel and golf course.
Most charlatans have some talent or charm – unfortunately not this one.
Hosting the 2026 Irish Open at a Trump golf course is one more reason to not care about this silly event. Golf is right there with bowling, darts, and chess in terms of being a "sport."
He ran away from the problems in the USA
Love the Irish people for their protest against The Liar and Thief… Thank you 👏👏👏👏
Gavin, tell the audience about the ridiculously low corporate tax rates and dubious financial loopholes that international American and European conglomerates avail of, saving hundreds of billions, by basing their European operations in the Emerald Isle. Enough irish pontificating! Irish government is depriving US treasury and European exchequers of hundreds of billions in tax receipts.
