President Donald Trump took action last Thursday that is sure to leave the DEI proponents on the radical left extremely ticked off as it lifts up white folk rather than bashing them and providing minorities with extra rights and protections.
Trump signed an executive order to designate March as “Irish-American Heritage Month,” in order to recognize the many amazing and important contributions that Irish immigrants have made to America all throughout its history.
News of the proclamation comes a week ahead of a White House visit by Irish Prime Minister Micheal Martin on Wednesday.
“This Irish-American Heritage Month, we commemorate the special bond of friendship between the United States and Ireland — and we honor the extraordinary contributions of Irish-American citizens past and present,” Trump commented in a statement.
President Trump then heaped praise on Irish-Americans, going on to say that they have a long history of having “fought for our freedom on the battlefield, served in our halls of government, and pioneered legendary businesses — leaving a lasting mark on their communities and our national identity.”
We’ve had a number of significant Irish individuals who have made a huge impact on our government and culture. Former Presidents Ronald Reagan and John F. Kennedy were Irish, as was Walt Disney and Henry Ford.
“As of 2022, there were 30.7 million Irish-Americans comprising 9.2 percent of the U.S. population. This makes Irish-Americans the third most common ancestry in the nation, behind English and German,” The Western Journal said.
As he signed his name on the proclamation, Trump said of the Irish, “They’re great people!”
“And they voted for me in heavy numbers, so I like them even more,” he joked with those in attendance during the signing. “You have to like it. I know you are not supposed to, but you have to like that.”
With his remark “I know you’re not supposed to like” that he’s honoring Irish-Americans, Trump made a veiled reference to the open hostility the legacy media, academia, Hollywood, and our entrenched political bureaucracy have exhibited toward white people. As a reminder, former President Joe Biden and his DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas — who enabled mass illegal immigration — declared that “white supremacy” was the biggest terrorist threat to the nation.
Leftists will come out and slam this as being about white supremacy. Just wait and see. If there isn’t something that’s dragging white people down and stripping them of rights while giving more rights and protections to minorities, you get labeled a racist. It’s garbage.
Interestingly, Irish-American Heritage Month has been around well before Trump landed in the White House.
The tradition started in 1991, when Congress passed a joint resolution (Public Law 101-418) designating March 1991 to recognize Irish contributions to the U.S., coinciding with St. Patrick’s Day. Irish-American Heritage Month, which is celebrated in March, isn’t a recurring mandate because it’s established through a presidential proclamation. Every president has done so since 1991.
Black History Month is also not a permanent holiday or fixture. It’s signed into observance each year by whoever sits in the Oval Office.
“To this day, Irish Americans are known as some of the toughest, most driven, and most devoted people on the face of the Earth,” Trump’s proclamation went on to say. “Their faith in God, love of family, and indelible commitment to our national promise continue to inspire citizens all across our country.”
