Ubi bene ibi patria
Speaking at a ceremony to mark St. Patrick’s Day, US President Donald Trump shared an Irish proverb that left many people in Ireland scratching their heads and wondering why they had never heard it before.
Trump shared the saying at the traditional White House Shamrock Ceremony, which marks Ireland’s national holiday. This year’s ceremony was attended by Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny.
“This is a good one, this is one I like, I’ve heard it for many, many years and I love it,” the president said, teeing up the words of wisdom.
“Always remember to forget the friends that proved untrue, but never forget to remember those that have stuck by you,” Trump said before adding: “We know that, politically speaking. A lot of us know.”
The immediate reaction was one of confusion, with many people noting on Twitter that they had never heard it before. "
