With free beer, brothers Eric and Donald Trump, Jr. thank the residents of the Irish village of Doonbeg
DOONBEG, Ireland - When Eric and Donald Trump, Jr. arrived in the one corner of Ireland celebrating their father’s first visit as U.S. president, they had one question for the locals: “Does Doonbeg love Trump?”
Instead Doonbeg’s residents decked the streets in American flags and stars and stripes bunting, crediting Trump with securing their livelihoods when in 2014 he bought the nearby golf resort where he will spend the next two nights. “Everywhere we look all we see is American flags with Irish flags. That’s a beautiful thing ... It’s so nice to see so thank you,” Eric Trump told cheering crowds as he served pints from behind the bar at Tubridy’s, one of five pubs the brothers visited in the space of an hour.
While the main protest for Trump’s Irish visit is planned for Dublin on Thursday, on Wednesday it was the adoring locals in Doonbeg who outnumbered the demonstrators that greeted the U.S. president upon his arrival at Shannon Airport.
