Trump doubles down. “I love my comments.” A united Ireland is “one of the naturals.”

President Trump, walking from his hotel to the first tee at Doonbeg on Sunday, was asked about the united Ireland line he dropped Saturday in Dublin. “I love my comments,” he said. Then the double-down: putting North and South together was “one of the naturals of all time.” Taoiseach Micheál Martin was already at the tee. Shane Lowry, four shots clear, was about to hit. The Politics desk files a president who will not walk it back.

Andy Burnham had said a border poll needs a majority. “Everybody says that, and then things happen.” Burnham, he added, was a nice guy, “liberal,” and would stop the windmills and drill the North Sea. Eric and Don Jr. had the balcony Saturday. Dinner with Rory McIlroy. Ten thousand marched in Dublin. Three women were arrested on the links overnight. He presents the trophy this evening. Shannon after that.

It was one of the naturals of all time.

Eight weeks from a midterm. Diesel printed a new record this morning — $6.20, AAA, the highest it has ever been. A $5,000 dividend is still a speech. London did not ask for a border. The Politics desk files the Sunday as it is: a golf weekend, a sentence he likes, and a taoiseach who has to stand next to him for the cup.
