Conor McGregor makes unique Donald Trump offer: “You are going to love it!”
The UFC champion has extended an unusual invitation to the president ahead of his planned November trip to Ireland.
UFC star Conor McGregor has extended a personal invitation to President Donald Trump to visit his native Ireland this November — and he’s already picked the spot where they’ll meet.
McGregor, known worldwide as “The Notorious,” posted on X that he’s eager to welcome Trump during his upcoming trip and even offered to host him at what he calls the country’s top pub.
McGregor and Trump to drink Coke at Ireland’s greatest pub
“See you in November Donald, at Irelands greatest public house, the multi time award winning Black Forge Inn. We look very forward!” McGregor wrote, adding a medieval-themed meme of the two dressed as knights, holding Coca-Colas at the Dublin pub.
The fighter also teased, “We have the best Coke in all Ireland for you to try! You are going to LOVE IT!”
McGregor and Trump’s friendship isn’t new. The Irish fighter attended Trump’s second presidential inauguration, telling reporters at the time, “I’m very excited to be here. I’m optimistic about the future. It’s a great moment for the United States. I believe people support him, and I wish him the best.”
Trump later welcomed McGregor to the White House on St. Patrick’s Day — just months after McGregor had been found liable in a civil court for sexually assaulting a woman.
Ireland doesn’t want Donald Trump
While McGregor is enthusiastic about Trump coming to Ireland, public opinion in the country tells a different story. A poll by the Irish Independent found that 74% of Irish respondents don’t want the U.S. president to visit.
The contrast is stark compared to the reception for President Joe Biden in April 2023, when thousands turned out in Dublin to hear him speak. “It was wonderful. I was welcomed like I was home,” Biden said at the time.
