News of Taoiseach Enda Kenny taking the trip stateside to visit newly-inaugurated President Trump have set the Irish public into a heated frenzy.
The catalyst to this blaze? The chaotic Muslim ban the US President has implemented in airports around the country.
The people have taken to Twitter in their thousands, and ave signed their names to this petition, in the hopes the Taoiseach will abstain from visiting one of the most controversial men in the country right now.

It will be revolting to see Enda Kenny on Paddy’s Day, sliding up to Trump in a Kiss Me I’m Irish hat, clutching a bit of Waterford Crystal.

Enda Kenny is a spineless publicity junkie & will bow down to Master Trump at the earliest opportunity. Anyone thinking otherwise is deluded
