Conor McGregor Meets Up With Donald Trump At White House

McGregor Planning To Run As President Of Ireland In 2025

McGregor has been highly critical of how Ireland has been run as of recently, and because of that, visited the White House on St Patrick’s Day to meet with President Trump. Trump and McGregor have been friends for years, with the President publicly being a huge UFC and MMA fan.

This visit confirms that Conor is planning on having a political run, as he has already stated that he is interested in running for President of Ireland, with the Ireland elections happening later in 2025.

This meeting was met with controversy among the Irish people, as Conor has found himself with millions of supporters, but now millions of critics as well. Following this meeting, Conor tweeted that the Trump administration has his full support, which could be a hint of what he wants Ireland’s future to look like as well.

McGregor Expresses Concern With Ireland’s Future

Conor McGregor’s Goal Is To Deport Illegal Immigrants

McGregor’s concern about Ireland revolves mostly around its future with immigration. It’s similar to the situation in the United States, with much of Ireland supporting immigration, but many being against it.

Many have brought up Conor’s 2024 sexual assault case following this White House visit, in which he was found guilty in civil court. A majority of critics have already brought up the idea as to how McGregor is allowed to run following this case, though supporters backed him up by saying that Conor was not criminally prosecuted due to lack of evidence.

Conor’s plan is to deport illegal immigrants and lower immigration rates, claiming that the Irish government does not care about its people. Ireland’s Prime Minister, Micheal Martin, has already spoken against McGregor’s statements, denying that he has shifted away from the Irish people as his main focus.
