US President Donald Trump says he “loved” the backlash to remarks about Irish unity while on a trip to Ireland, according to multiple UK outlets. The comments come as he is in the country for his second day.
Reporting also notes that Trump frames his reaction positively, saying it was “great” to be in Doonbeg and adding that he “love[s] Irish people.” Outlets repeat that the remarks have drawn public and political reaction, but they do not provide further detail on the specific content of what he said or the extent of the backlash. The overall coverage aligns on Trump’s characterization of the response and the timing of his comments during his Ireland visit.
While the sources share the same core statements, they mainly focus on different aspects of the appearance: some emphasize the “backlash” element, while others stress his remarks of goodwill toward the Irish people and his stop in Doonbeg.
