Trump Struggles to Name Favorite Irishman
During a recent press conference, a reporter asked President Trump to name his favorite Irishman, leading to a moment of hesitation and confusion from the Commander-in-Chief.
Stephen Colbert, host of “The Late Show,” shared the footage of Trump’s struggle to come up with a name. “Trump did have some kind words for one particular Irishman who he could almost name,” Colbert said before playing the clip.
Trump was seen pondering the question before finally responding, “Oh there’s so many are you kidding me? I do happen to like your fighter. He’s got the best tattoos I’ve ever seen.”
It was clear that Trump was referring to Irish MMA fighter Conor McGregor, but he couldn’t quite remember his name until a reporter reminded him. “He clearly could not think of a single Irish person,” Colbert remarked.
Colbert then humorously impersonated Trump’s struggle to name Irish individuals, jokingly mentioning Shaquille O’Neil, Kathy Ireland, and even the green M&M.
Despite the lighthearted moment, Trump’s difficulty in naming a favorite Irishman raised eyebrows and sparked conversation online. The incident was a reminder of the importance of being well-informed and knowledgeable about different cultures and individuals.
