Earlier this week, Fine Gael issued a press release about a plan for something called an American President’s Trail. 🇮🇪🇺🇸 Ireland and the United States share a unique bond. That’s why @EdwardTimmins_1 wants to create an American Presidents Trail, where all 23 presidents with roots in Ireland will be celebrated in the relevant counties. In 1970, the year after he was elected president, Nixon made an official visit to Ireland. Are American tourists really going to want to visit a Richard Nixon interpretive centre just outside Naas, let alone a William McKinley homeplace in Conagher, Co Antrim?
