Trumps team has a significant Irish gene pool !

As the world watches on and a nervous Irish Government holds it collective breath in anticipation of the new Trump administration, maybe they should relax a little and start focusing on the strong Irish connections in the new administration some of whom are very enthusiastic about their Irish roots.

One such key strategist is Kellyanne Conway the woman behind the successful Trump campaign and appointed as Counsellor to the President by  President Trump last December.

To try to get an understanding of the Diaspora connection let’s look at Kelly Anne in greater detail .Kellyanne  Elizabeth Fitxpatrick was born in 1967 in Camden ,New Jersey .Her father was Irish and her mother was of Italian descent .

in the 2016 Presidential campaign Kellyanne endorsed Ted Cruz and chaired the pro-Cruz political action committee known as ” Keep the Promise ” .The Cruz  campaign never took off and Trump a long admirer of Conway hired her as a Senior Adviser on his presidential campaign and Campaign Manager .

Ironically  it was Kelly Anne Conway that shattered the ” glass ceiling ” that Hillary Clinton had hoped to do when  she became the first woman to successfully run a Presidential campaign .

Conway is seen as a stabilising  force and is one of just a handful of strategists that Trump takes note of .

indeed her importance to Trump was clearly shown when she was the first person outside of the Trump family that he thanked in his 3am speech on election night .

Conways Irish father owned a small truck company in New Jeresy .

Conway  who is hated by feminists throughout the US ,is a mother of 4 and describes herself as an Irish -American Catholic who makes breakfast every day for her children and then goes to mass ,She is a daily communicant !

Conway reportedly took Donal Trump to meet her local Manhattan priest Father George Rutler who blessed the future President just days before the election .

Conway is proud of her Irish ancestry and continually boasts about about her family’s links to Ireland .

Trumps team have strong Irish connections with Vice-President Mike Pence grandmother from Doonbeg ,Co Clare and his grandfather Richard Crawley also from Clare, they arrived at Ellis Island in April 1923 and he became a bus driver in Chicago .

Pence himself visited Ireland in 2013 .

Meanwhile it is rumoured that Trump will make Brian Burns a businessman and close friend of Trump the new Irish Ambassador.Burns is a grandson of Irish immigrants with strong connections with Co Kerry .

His grandfather was a key adviser to Joe Kennedy father of President John  F Kennedy .

Good news for Back 4 Good is that our Back 4 Good -Your future in Philadelphia social media campaign has 12,000 followers and the concept is on the new administrations radar as they wish to focus on returning skilled USA professionals to their own Cities .

Interesting times ahead for Ireland as it try’s to build relationships with the new administration after putting ” all its eggs ” in the Clinton basket .
