Speaking of Steve Bannon.
Donald Trumps former chief strategist is planning to open an Irish branch of Bannons War Room, his influential Maga daily podcast.
Irelands high rates of immigration more than a fifth of the population are foreign-born is one trigger; another is what Bannon sees as the countrys woke orthodoxy. If you look across Europe, Ireland is the ripest country for a Maga revolution, he says. All the parties belong to the globalist uniparty, which is pro-Davos and I include Sinn Féin in that.
Bannon triggered a minor storm in Dublin last month when he told Politico that he was seeking an Irish Trump....
But he was in at the ground floor of Trump 1.0 and has a knack for finding what he calls low-propensity, low-information voters. He talks weekly to Britains Nigel Farage and is an adviser to Germanys ultranationalist AfD.

He's about to interfere in your internal affairs.

income inequality so he likely wants to take from the workers to give more to the wealthy and stop the abomination of income parity. Ireland has history with England and know what to watch for so he is mistaken if they will be taken with his hate messages.
