Trump imposes US travel ban on people from Westmeath

President Donald Trump has signed a proclamation banning the citizens of 12 countries and one Irish county from entering the United States, saying the move was needed to protect against “foreign terrorists” in the case of the 12 countries and “gobshites” in the case of Westmeath.

Trump outlined his reasons for including Westmeath on the list during a White House press conference.

“I love Ireland but Westmeath is such a silly place. The stupidest of all the Irish counties. I mean they don’t even have a name. West Meath? What the hell is that? That’s like saying West Carlow. Or East Kildare. Or North Leitrim. At least come up with your own name. That’s always bugged the crap outta me so for that reason, if you’re from there and you come here, airport security will turn your ass around and send you right back. You people boil my piss.”

The President also said that more Irish counties could be added to the list at a moment’s notice.

“I’m watching you Cork. With that ridiculous accent. I can’t understand a goddam word. Start speaking proper English or you’re next.”
