Donald Trump has said he would “love” to see a united Ireland and that it “may as well happen now”.

The US president appeared to endorse the push for constitutional change on the island at the start of a two-day visit to Ireland on Saturday. The unexpected intervention prompted a swift rebuttal from the UK government and Northern Ireland’s unionist leaders.

“I don’t want ⁠to cause any problems, ​but ‌I will ‌tell you, I’d love ‌to see it unified,” Trump told reporters at joint press conference with the taoiseach, Micheál Martin, in Dublin. “I think it would be a great feather in everybody’s cap if that happened. You know what? The way I look at it, it’s going to happen eventually. It may as well happen now.”

The unification of Northern Ireland with the republic of Ireland would be “fantastic”, Trump said. “The UK will have something to say about it, obviously. But I think it would be a great thing. I mean, how can it be bad?”

Speaking later on Saturday, Trump acknowledged that his comments on unification, made in response to a reporter’s question, would be controversial. “No matter what you say or how you say it, there’s no good answer,” he said. “I gave a nice answer, I think. We’ll worry about it tomorrow.” Unification, he added, would be a “very cool thing”.

Trump’s unofficial visit is centred on golf – he flew on Saturday afternoon to his resort in Doonbeg, County Clare, which is hosting the Irish Open – but started with a courtesy call in Dublin to Áras an Uachtaráin, the official residence and workplace of the Irish president, Catherine Connolly.

I mean if there's one thing that can ever bring peace between Irish protestants and catholics it will be uniting to confront the muslum invasion and other evils of far leftism.
