Connor McGregor Wants to Run for Irish President

san.com UFC star Conor McGregor announces intention to run for Ireland's presidency

Former UFC champion Conor McGregor is entering the political arena, revealing plans to run for the presidency of Ireland in 2025.

Endorsed by Elon and Andrew Tate! He is, in his own words: "the only logical choice".

What could possibly go wrong having a narcissistic hyper aggressive idiot that wants to dissolve parliament in charge?

He must have taken one too many blows to the head.

- He's taken many too many blows to the head. Listen to interviews with him early in his career and compare them to his interviews now. The level of brain damage he's endured is pretty obvious.

  I was such a fan of McGregor when he just started and went big. Then he crumbled all my respect that was for him when he went garbage towards Khabib.
  
  It’s sad that fame and money goes to one’s head and they think, they’re everything.

  Honestly, he hasn't fought much in the last 8 years. His decline is 90% from alcohol and cocaine. His talent and work ethic was incredible during his rise, but after the Mayweather fight in 2017 he couldn't resist the Scarface lifestyle he had dreamed about. It's a sad story, not because he's a good person (he's not) but because he went from this athletic anomaly to a scared, weak, delusional has-been. Truly a literary tragedy.

- Seems like a good reason to put him in charge to me.

Well they've had a kind, down-to-earth president for a while. Time to bring in an absolute shithead for a change.

If we're going to be running minor celebrities for the Irish presidency, the only real choice is Blindboy Boatclub.

I know nothing about Ireland politics. But is it me that's jaded or this looks like puppet president?

- Well, he certainly would be whether he realised it or not - if by that you mean easily manipulated by outside interests (like musk and god knows who else)

  I think Musk is another puppet when it comes to X (SpaceX, Tesla and Neuralink not necessarily IMO). It's interesting how the message of both is "I'll make world easier by reducing number of people and processes". And it seems such language gets following

- President is a largely ceremonial role, the Taoiseach is the head of government and the decision making position.
