Jesus wept as Eric Trump pulled the worst pint of Guinness known to man
Eric Trump's attempt at pulling a Guinness is enough to trigger an international incident.

In Dublin yesterday evening, thousands of people took part in a demonstration against the President's visit. The Trump baby blimp was seen floating over the city centre:

And in true Irish style, got a trad sing song going:
Irish people: Irish stereotypes are ridiculous and outdated
Also Irish people: Start a trad band at a protest against President Trump #TrumpInIreland pic.twitter.com/5MxoM16wqm— aoife-grace moore. (@aoifegracemoore) June 5, 2019
