Episode Details

On St. Patrick's Day, Trump turned the annual Friends of Ireland Luncheon into another embarrassing spectacle, commenting on a woman's appearance and reducing the deaths of members of Congress to vote math. Irish Prime Minister Micheal Martin showed the world what real leadership looks like by outmaneuvering Trump in the Oval Office, defending UK PM Keir Starmer and European allies, and redirecting hostility without taking the bait.
