Even when Trump had the chance to make a public statement that really might have made a difference to the scope of the pandemic, he failed to do so. He and his wife, Melania Trump, were vaccinated at the White House during the closing days of his presidency. Any leader with the slightest regard for his own people would have allowed the media to cover this event, especially given the prevalence of vaccine hesitancy in the country. Trump chose instead to be vaccinated in secret.

The Garda statement added: “until yesterday, An Garda Síochána had made 50 arrests this year largely related to illegal activity at anti-migration protests. Operational staff from the council’s waste management section were on the ground since 3am this morning. Between 6am and 9am the number of staff deployed to clean the city-centre was trebled to more than 130 people and staff were redeployed from the suburbs to help. There is a strong possibility that Trump will win his party’s nomination should he run again, which seems as likely as warm weather at Mar-a-Lago this summer. Taoiseach Leo Varadkar, Minister for Justice Helen McEntee and Garda Commissioner Drew Harris at a garda briefing in Store Street on Friday nightAnother premises on Parnell Street in the city centre, which was used to accommodate asylum seekers earlier this year, was also targeted in Thursday’s violence. One principal said there was fear large groups would return to the city centre in the afternoon to begin more protests in the area. He said a number of gardaí were injured last night, most of whose injuries were minor, but he said one garda sustained a serious injury to his foot. As a result, by the time Trump left office in January 2021, the Iranians were planning to enrich uranium up to 20% purity, far above the 4% purity agreed to in their deal with the Obama administration, according to the International Atomic Energy Agency. While this was well short of the 90% purity needed for a nuclear bomb, the Iranian nuclear program took a large step forward as a result of Trump’s ham-handed approach to the Iranians. I saw it burning and realised something had gone wrong here but I didn’t know anything more. I was trying to figure out.

Amid the widespread violence and destruction last night in Dublin, at least two accommodation centres for asylum seekers and refugees were targeted.
