President Donald Trump's visit to Ireland has attracted protests, but in one corner of the country there is strong support. His golf resort in Doonbeg has brought jobs and tourists, making it an economic lifeline for the area. However, some locals and environmentalists oppose his plans, such as a new ballroom they say could harm protected snails. Protests erupted during his visit, with some criticizing his policies on immigration and the environment. While many in Doonbeg support the resort for its economic benefits, others feel conflicted about Trump's influence. Despite the protests, many believe their voices aren't being heard.
