Leo Varadkar has been asking US state governors how to deal with Donald Trump ahead of their meeting later this week.
The Taoiseach says he's not apprehensive about the meeting, but has asked the pro-Trump governors of Texas and Oklahoma how to approach The Donald.
The two governors have advised Mr Varadkar that the US leader is exactly as he appears on TV:
