A Dublin woman is set to launch a new website dedicated to Donald Trump in the hope of gaining more support for the US President in Ireland.

Sarah Mulligan from Glasnevin says she was inspired to set up the website, www.irishwholovepresidenttrump.com, in response to the high level of negative attention that Trump is receiving.

Speaking to Dublin Live, Sarah said she wants to see more people give the US President a chance, and that he is trying to do his best for the his country.

She said: "The media are constantly putting Donald Trump down, telling lies about him, and generally painting him in a really bad light.

"I’ve had enough of seeing that, and I think it’s about time that somebody stands up and lets people know that he’s trying to do his best for America.

"It’s still early days, so give the man a chance."

Sarah is hoping to launch the website on St Patrick's Day, saying that doing so would be symbolic because it would coincide with events in the political world.

She said: "It's a momentous occasion, particularly because Enda Kenny will be going over there to deliver the bowl of shamrock.

"It would be connecting Irish and Americans, which is what I really want to do."

She disagreed with the suggestion that Irish politicians should be negative towards Trump, believing that doing so could have consequences for Irish immigrants in the US.

"At the end of the day, Donald Trump is only human, and if Irish politicians annoy him in anyway, he's going to say that Irish emigrants have to get out of the country.

"Why not keep him sweet? He's not a bad guy."

When asked whether she had received much support for her idea, Sarah said that the majority of Americans are on her side, and warned against anyone who writes her off as stupid.

She said: "Negative opinions don't bother me; I've got a very thick neck. Anyone who tries to write me off as a bimbo should realise that I'm a highly-educated young woman, so it's not a card people can use.

Sarah also pointed out that not caring was something that makes Donald Trump a good leader, saying: "I think any good leader shouldn’t really care what people think of them.

"If he was to take every personal comment that’s thrown at him to heart, he wouldn’t be able to lead the country in a good way."
