“It’s amazing to be here. I’m very excited. Very optimistic about the future,” McGregor said. “And it’s a good time here in the United States. I was here the last time Donald Trump became president in 2016. And the energy and the response is day and night, which is a testament to how he’s done as president, his last run and how it has behaved since then.
McGregor praised Trump’s resilience in bouncing back after a loss in the 2020 election and getting back in the game. I expected Trump and his cabinet to take a lot of action in the first 100 days.

McGregor also outlined America’s position in the world after Trump’s victory.
“The United States is the world’s superpower. Long may it continue that way,” he said. “We love America in Ireland. I have as much love for America as I do for my country of Ireland. It has a huge ripple effect for the entire free world, the entire Western world.
