RadioOnFire.com - President Donald Trump hosted the Prime Minister of Ireland as the nation's guest at the White House on St. Patrick's Day, and while reflecting on the significance of the holiday, the Irish PM made a couple of remarks that seemingly endeavored to politicized the occasion.
“It’s fitting that we gather here each year to celebrate St. Patrick and his legacy,” Prime Minister Enda Kenny said. “He, too, was an immigrant. And even though he is, of course, the patron saint of Ireland, for many people around the globe, he is also the symbol of — indeed, the patron of — immigrants.”
As Kenny moved along he further expounded on the role immigrants, particularly Irish immigrants, have played in the development of the U.S. economy, political structure, social and cultural life. Trump stood abreast the Irish PM, giving nothing off by his expression, but the moment quickly spread about the media, with many purporting that Kenny was delivering a statement to the President. Trump's reputation for strictly addressing immigration has, of course, preceded him in the states, but it is becoming clear that there are even those overseas for whom his policies have become a point of contention.
