Trump begins by syain: “Hello how are you?...Congratulations on your great victory. We have so many people from Ireland in this country. I know so many of them too. I feel I know all of them. But I just want to congratulate you. That was a great victory that you had.”
He adds: "We have a lot of your Irish press watching us, they're just now leaving the room." At this point, Trump summons Perry over to his desk before asking about her credentials and saying: "she has a nice smile on her face, so I bet she treats you well."
Since that moment occurred, the RTÉ journalist has tweeted the conversation, and while some people have dismissed Trump's remarks as playful, others have taken the opposite view - Didi Hamann being one of them. https://twitter.com/CaitrionaPerry/status/879804904696496128 https://twitter.com/DietmarHamann/status/880010725355343874 https://twitter.com/Canni2Canning/status/879815767520423937 https://twitter.com/kevinchamberlin/status/879825926036398080 https://twitter.com/JulieAnnSilver/status/879829661945036801 https://twitter.com/CristinHarber/status/879876405370159104 https://twitter.com/shannoncoulter/status/879825403191279616 Clip via - Catriona Perry and RTEExplore more on these topics:
