The @alanbeattie.bsky.social Banter Heuristic predicts that White House won't admit this mistake, and instead start pushing Act of Union 2.0 as official US policy.

Reposted from James Wilson

The White House has referred to Keir Starmer as the Prime Minister of ‘Great Britain and Ireland’.

Trump also seemed to claim in his remarks that his Irish golf course, Doonbeg, is in the UK, so it's pretty systematic https://www.thetimes.com/article/c9331524-be98-4cb4-b5ea-d596cf5056b9?shareToken=1bbde08703c31d903f82e96283cdba9c

Isn't it the official name of the UK?

Sorry I read too quickly didn't see he missed the "Northern". Well, it's Donold, next week he'll say he never wrote it at all.

"Great Britain and Northern Ireland" not "Ireland". It DOES matter. Most of us are looking forward to a time when Ireland is united so this term of phrase doesn't help at all.

The UK is temporary. https://www.thenational.scot/news/24958066.northern-ireland-voters-lean-towards-united-ireland/

Not in a century, no. The official name is United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. That Northern word there is very, very fucking important.

I assume with some sort of exotic minerals deal?

Note that 2.0 only applies to 31 counties. The newly renamed Trump County (location to be worked out based on a golf tour) will be annexed to Florida.
