Donald Trump shares his favourite Irish proverb, which isn't Irish, or a proverb

Meeting the Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny on Thursday, ahead of St. Patrick’s Day, naturally the US President Donald Trump wanted to make a good impression with one of the country’s closest allies.

Standing beside Kenny, he said:  "As we stand together with our Irish friends, I’m reminded of an Irish proverb – and this is a good one, this is one I like, I’ve heard it for many, many years and I love it.”

He proceeded to read: "Always remember to forget the friends that proved untrue, but never forget to remember those that have stuck by you.”

He added: "We know that, politically speaking.”
