Today is St Patrick’s Day - and like most Americans without any Irish ancestry at all, Donald Trump is celebrating.
However, people were quick to point out something rather ironic: St Patrick himself was an immigrant.
@realDonaldTrump you know St Patrick was an immigrant right?— Cole Ledford (@Cole Ledford) 1489752772
As were Irish communities that moved to America.
@realDonaldTrump Your great Irish friends who are likely descended from millions of refugees who came to America fleeing famine & oppression— Man vs. Pink (@Man vs. Pink) 1489753752
Plus there was this brilliantly Irish reply.
@realDonaldTrump Póg mo thóin 👍— Nooruddean (@Nooruddean) 1489752811
(That means 'Kiss my ass' in Gaelic by the way)
Still, since he has been marking St. Patrick's Day by reading 'Irish' proverbs that were written by Nigerians, having an English song played by Scottish pipes, and getting the shamrock wrong, perhaps this isn't a surprise.
