US President Donald Trump will visit Ireland in November, and naturally, people have a lot to say about it.
Here are some reactions to tonight's announcement:
Trump can come to Ireland on two conditions: all official engagements take place in Barack Obama Plaza and all photos are taken right beside the life size cardboard cutout of Barack Obama. Take it or leave it.

Notes: A Presidential motorcade and security cordon in Doonbeg, Co Clare would be quite something.
Our own President will have just been inaugurated.

News: ‘Trump to visit Ireland in November.’
Ireland: ‘Aw no, we won’t be home that day.’
News: ‘I didn’t say what day...’
Ireland: ‘Eh...We have to move out, We’re getting an extension done. We’re building a utility room in the Irish Sea.’— TwistedDoodles (@twisteddoodles) August 31, 2018
Trump coming to Ireland in November. Between his visit, #8thRef, the nationwide blizzard, the Pope, Hurricane #Ophelia, #Aras18 Limerick winning the hurling and the Grand Slam - spare a thought for the poor soul who has to cut all that to 24 mins for Reeling in the Years 2018

Can we not pretend we're out for the day? Hide behind the sofa when he calls?

Not all the reactions were negative, however:
Dear Twitter users (just liberals mainly).. if you're tweeting about Donald Trump coming to Ireland, please don't use the words "WE don't want him here"..
Less of the arrogance. You don't speak for the whole country.
Thank you and goodnight 🇺🇸#DonaldTrumpIreland
