taoiseach enda kenny has congratulated us president-elect donald trump, after he beat democratic opponent hillary clinton in a dramatic election count result this morning. 




mr. kenny said the people of the united states have made a very clear choice and that he always knew trump would win the presidency, stating he looks forward to meeting him soon. 




<u+201c>i<u+2019>ve always been an admirer of donald trump,<u+201d> mr. kenny opened up, scratching his nose, <u+201c>such a lovely man and a deserving president. i was rooting for him from the very beginning of this campaign, and i hope to meet him and his beautiful first lady very soon<u+201d>. 




however, sources in leinster house confirmed that an emergency government meeting was called early this morning in a bid to decide who goes to the us for st. patrick<u+2019>s day 2017. 




<u+201c>the taoiseach requested a box of straws and a scissors,<u+201d> one insider said, <u+201c>i think leo varadkar picked the short straw and may have to meet mr. trump with a bowl of shamrock in the white house next year<u+201d>. 




asked about his comments about mr. trump being <u+2018>racist and sexist<u+2019> earlier this year, the taoiseach claimed he was only messing at the time and that he was only poking fun at the future president of the united states. 




<u+201c>donald will know i was only blaggarding with him,<u+201d> kenny stated, <u+201c>we<u+2019>re always messing and joking like that in politics. i look forward to playing a round of golf with him in clare,<u+201d> adding, <u+201c>i<u+2019>m more concerned about making the irish recovery great again<u+201d>.
