Conor McGregor invites Donald Trump to try 'the best Coke in Ireland'
Troubled ex-UFC star bizarrely invited Donald Trump to visit his Dublin pub to try the 'best Coke in Ireland.' McGregor, who has recently been embroiled in a string of scandals, including a civil rape case, was invited to the White House earlier this year and now he wants to return the favor and give the president a 'unique, true, IRISH EXPERIENCE!' at the Black Forge Inn. On X the fighter wrote: 'See you in November Donald, at Irelands greatest public house, the multi time award winning, @blackforgeinn!' McGregor wrote on X. SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEO See you in November Donald, at Irelands greatest public house, the multi time award winning, @blackforgeinn! We look very forward! 🥘🥤 Ireland's friend @realDonaldTrump, we have the best Coke in all Ireland for you to try! Sparkly fizzy, and on the rocks. With Irish lemon… — Conor McGregor (@TheNotoriousMMA) August 4, 2025 Conor continued: 'We look very forward! Ireland's friend @realDonaldTrump, we have the best Coke in all Ireland for you to try! Sparkly fizzy, and on the rocks. With Irish lemon and lime, also! For adding. ICE COLD! 'Our Coca Cola factory is just 5 minutes away on the long mile road, walking distance, from the black forge inn! ''GIVE THAT BOY A CAN OF COKE!' You are going to LOVE IT! The unique, true, IRISH EXPERIENCE!' Alongside the social media message, Conor included an AI image of himself and Trump dressed as medieval knights around a table of meat and potatoes. In the image, Trump is drinking a can of Coca Cola. The fighter's pub was recently set on fire, with authorities treating the blaze as criminal damage. Meanwhile last week the ex-MMA star lost his attempt to overturn a jury's order that he compensate a woman who accused him of raping her. The court rejected the appeal in its entirety. Nikita Hand alleged that Conor sexually assaulted her on December 9, 2018. He was found liable in November and three Dublin judges rejected all five grounds of the MMA fighter's appeal. Conor was ordered to pay nearly €250,000 ($290,000), plus costs after Hand accused him of raping her at a hotel in Dublin in 2018. He denied the allegation and said he had 'fully consensual sex'. He also denied causing bruising to the plaintiff. Conor was not present for last week's decision, with Hand claiming she had been 'retraumatized' by the appeal. She said: 'To every survivor out there, I know how hard it is but please don't be silenced. You deserve to be heard. You also deserve justice.' Trump hosted the Irish MMA star and his family in the Oval Office on St Patrick's Day, with McGregor even vowing to raise concerns over immigration in Ireland with the president. The star, who also attended Trump's inauguration in January, praised the president's 'inspiring' work ethic.

French farmer who sprayed travellers with manure in his tractor was driven to breaking point as cops refused to step in
THE French farmer who sprayed a group of travellers with manure in his tractor said he was forced to take action when cops refused to help. Astonishing footage showed the furious workers spread faeces over their farm in Hautes-Vosges, France as caravan dwellers battled to stop the onslaught of excrement. 3 3 Local farmers said they were driven to boiling point after cops refused to step in and remove the "illegal gypsy camp" residing on their land. Loic Madre, the man behind the video, claimed the travellers moved onto the field - which was meant for animals to graze on - without permission. With harvest due in just a few weeks, he said the farmers tried to negotiate with the group to leave but "they refused to listen" so they turned to local authorities for support. When they were refused help, they decided to take matters into their own hands. "So they handled it on their own! As you can see in the images," he told the Mail Online. Farmers jumped into their tractors and circled the stationary white caravans, releasing streams of the brown sludge liquid. Loic's now-viral footage shows members of the community running after the vehicles in a bid to stop them as one man desperately jumps onto a moving tractor. In the minute-long video, some six tractors are seen covering the land in the stinking slurry - a mixture of manure and water. Last year, a similar tactic was adopted by Brit farmer Jack Bellamy when he caught a camper on his land. Shocking footage shows angry Jack Bellamy spot the tent and say: 'I tell you what, these ***** will set up anywhere.' Fed up farmer arrested by cops for kidnap after he bound two trespassing teens to his quad bike He then jumps in his tractor and drives up alongside the trespasser unleashing a 15-second blast of slurry. The campe r, dressed in a red top and a white sun hat, is seen desperately trying to zip up his tent before diving behind it as a wall of excrement is showered on him. Jack, 29, is heard saying: 'I'll tell you what chap, have a bit of this.' The hapless cyclist is seen cowering for shelter as his entire tent and bike are covered in the brown stuff. This came as another farmer was captured covering Mercedes Benz with slurry after a driver illegally parked on his land "to go to the beach" and enjoy the Bank Holiday sunshine. In the video, the tractor driver points to a car parked up near a gate on a farm in Cornwall. He can be heard saying: "The beach is nice and busy today - everyone social distancing I suppose. "That busy, they've decided to park in the field." Speaking to an inquisitive child he said: "I've nearly finished mate, I'm not stopping" - before coating the car in slurry.
