Irish farmers warned not to cut grass, spread fertilizer during Trump's visit

Farmers in the tiny Irish village of Doonbeg have been told to not cut the grass or spread manure-based fertilizer while President Trump is in town. The edict came from the Irish police force Garda Síochána ahead of Trump’s two-day stopover in County Clare, according to the Times Ireland.

Trump and wife Melania will stay at the Trump golf resort in Doonbeg Wednesday night before leaving for France on Thursday for D-Day commemorations. He is expected to return to Ireland on Friday to play a round of golf, capping his busy trip to the UK and Europe.

Farmers said the dreary weather this week isn’t ideal for spreading slurry, a mixture of water and manure, or cutting silage, grass that is specially prepared to feed cattle, anyway. Security has been beefed up at Shannon Airport, where Trump will meet Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar, and around Doonbeg.

A Friday night bingo game at a local community center has been canceled as a result of security restrictions.

1. Because Trump will be spreading enough fertilizer for everybody?

They should rename the town Douchebag for the event.

8. Where did they get the idea

9. Funny...if you had a lawnmower or fertilizer you could easily draw a giant penis in your field

like the one that graced this site just the other day from England near the airport that Trump used.

10. It's been 10 years since I landed at the Shannon Airport

But unless they razed it and rebuilt, it’s not exactly a top notch meeting place. It’s a fine airport, but would be considered a small regional airport (Bozeman, Montana’s airport is fancier.)

11. Could we please band together and offer to pay the fine for anyone who will slurry the hell

out of any farm upwind of his ecologicaly criminal abomination of a "golf course?" Please please please?

I mean LOTS of slurry. Tons. Bigly.

12. This is because Trump has the manure spreading concession this week.

13. Opposite talk, perhaps?

Opposite Talk

V. Art of saying one thing and meaning the complete opposite of it.

We wouldn't want to make Trump's trip to Ireland unpleasant now, would we?
