        There’s zero chance thankfully. There’s an initial hurdle of getting on the ballot that he won’t pass (plus he’s roundly considered an idiot here).

        From this page:

        To be eligible for election as President, you must be an Irish citizen who is 35 or older. You must be nominated either by:

        • At least 20 members of the Oireachtas
        • At least 4 local authorities
        • Former or retiring Presidents can nominate themselves

        Oireachtas means parliament.

          The way you be world is going I won’t be shocked when he is president of Ireland.
