Letter: Announcing that he'd love to see Ireland unified is yet another ill-thought-out move from Donald Trump

A letter from Michael Deasy:

Asked by reporters about the prospect of a united Ireland, Donald Trump said he doesn't want to 'cause any problems' but thinks it would be a 'great thing', adding: 'I'd love to see it unified'placeholder image

It was only a matter of time before Donald Trump united Ireland.

Whether he's annexing Greenland, alienating Canada, raising the Titanic or lowering the Atlantic, this American president loves simple infotaining narratives.

He has invested the same amount of thought and effort in the policy as Sinn Fèin has.

Which is very little indeed.

Michael Deasy, Bandon, County Cork
