Eric Trump says his father will greet all but confront any opposition in Ireland visit

Eric Trump told reporters that his father is definitely traveling to Dublin and will sit down with President Catherine Connolly, despite expectations of street protests. He described Donald Trump as ready to embrace anyone but also prepared to confront opponents, citing past confrontations in the Oval Office and abroad. Eric claimed many demonstrators are financially compensated and criticized Rosie O'Donnell's comments about the visit.

He praised the Trump family's contributions to the Doonbeg resort, noting it is a major employer in western Ireland, and expressed affection for the Irish people and landscape. Additionally, he criticized the pace of Irish bureaucracy, citing a proposed ballroom project that could cost tens of millions of dollars and generate jobs, and hinted at future plans such as a possible Trump tower in Dublin.
