Irish Prime Minister Sits in Awkward Silence as Trump Refers to Female President of Ireland as a Man

"Look, he's lucky I exist. That's all I can say, because if you're gonna allow countries that are sick and demented—and they are demented—to have nuclear weapons everybody in the whole world should be very thankful, and I'm disappointed in NATO. Very disappointed."

"The violations of international law we are witnessing are shocking and numbing, but we cannot afford inaction. What we have witnessed in recent days in the Middle East, and beyond, are not political disputes. They are deliberate assaults on international law, the international laws that have underpinned global peace for eighty years."

During a joint press conference at the White House, President Trump mistakenly referred to Irish President Catherine Connolly as male when responding to a reporter's question about her criticism of U.S. military actions against Iran. Irish Prime Minister Micheal Martin remained silent during the exchange. Trump defended his Iran policy, stating that countries should be grateful for U.S. military strength to prevent nuclear proliferation among hostile nations. He also expressed disappointment with NATO and other countries. Connolly had previously condemned the military actions as violations of international law that undermine the global peace framework established over eighty years.
