From praising Conor McGregor as his favourite Irish man to claiming Ireland's housing crisis is a 'good problem'
Taoiseach Micheál Martin and US President Donald Trump met in the White House’s Oval Office on Wednesday to discuss everything from tax rates to JD Vance’s socks.
The US President and Taoiseach were taking questions from the press in the Oval Office in the White House when a journalist asked Trump who his favourite Irish person was. "You know why they have a housing crisis? Because they are doing so well. They can't produce houses fast enough. That's a good problem, not a bad problem."Trump then said: "Everybody should have that problem, that's okay. I know this gentleman, he'll get it solved."
Calling it a “serious situation” that former President Biden “should never have let happen”, Trump began to list all of the things that “should never have happened” including the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7, 2023; how the US pulled out of Afghanistan and inflation before talking about how the administration has “great inflation numbers”.
