Irish government says President Trump has canceled trip to Dublin this fall

http://www.latimes.com/politics/la-na-pol-trump-ireland-visit-20180911-story.html

President Trump has canceled a planned trip to Ireland, the Irish government said Tuesday, amid promises of demonstrations to protest his climate policies, international relations and treatment of immigrants, women and minorities.

The visit had been projected for November, when Trump is scheduled to be in Europe for a French commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I.

show for him. I guarantee there's not a country in the EU that isn't hoping for a 2020 gale to blow away the stench of Trump.

I said it here in a previous thread that he would have been in for a rough time from protesters, if he had come. Dems are much preferred here...
