      He looked at Trump and his shenanigans and said, "If he can do it, I KNOW I can". Fortunately the Irish seem to be much smarter at making choices.

        McGregor assumes raping a woman is the only qualifier for president. So this makes sense.

          Summary

          Conor McGregor’s bid for Ireland’s presidency has been overwhelmingly rejected by politicians, with all 134 Oireachtas members surveyed by Sky News refusing to support his nomination.

          Citing his divisive rhetoric, lack of qualifications, and ongoing legal battles—including a rape verdict under appeal—politicians used strong language to dismiss his fitness for office.

          McGregor’s anti-immigration platform, announced after meeting Trump, is believed to be more about boosting his U.S. profile than a serious campaign, as experts say he faces significant hurdles to appear on the ballot.

                    I would genuinely rather we didn't have a president at all

                                  I may be traumatized, but I can already see the reasonable objection of a rape conviction retconned in bought media as elitists initially rejecting the people's choice, nothing is unhappenable any more, the more absurd and chaotic the less avoidable
