You can decide for yourself...It was not so long ago, British troops were occupying Ireland and blood was in the streets. Much worse than anything we have with Mexico going back at least 150 years.
From the Guardian (leftist rag)
Trump, sitting next to a visibly uncomfortable taoiseach,
Leo Varadkar, waded into the Brexit debate minutes after Air Force One touched down at Shannon airport on Wednesday afternoon.
“I think it will all work out very well, and also for you with your wall, your border,” he said at a joint press conference. “I mean, we have a border situation in the United States, and you have one over here. But I hear it’s going to work out very well here.”
Varadkar interjected that
Ireland wished to avoid a border or a wall, a keystone of Irish government policy.
“I think you do, I think you do,” Trump said. “The way it works now is good, you want to try and to keep it that way. I know that’s a big point of contention with respect to Brexit. I’m sure it’s going to work out very well. I know they’re focused very heavily on it.”
