The shamrock bowl now lies wilting, and Ireland remains as vulnerable as ever to the caprices of the Trump administration
Donald Trump hosted Conor McGregor and his family at the White House on St. Patrick's Day, alongside Elon Musk and Mark Burnett. The reasons are unclear, possibly due to Trump's affinity for fighters and his tendency to believe McGregor's claims of innocence regarding a rape case, despite a court finding against him. The visit's purpose for Trump seems unrelated to McGregor himself, as the US media largely ignored the event.
