President Trump [Shamrock Bowl Presentation]: The Irish came with William Penn to settle in Pennsylvania, they traveled with Daniel Boone, the great Daniel Boone, to tame Kentucky, and in 1776, it was a man from Cork, fighting in the Continental Army, who became the first person ever known, as the phrase; he came up with the phrase, 'The United States of America'. Americans of Irish heritage gave us the steamboat, the modern submarine, the Model-T automobile, and many, many other things. They designed the White House, the Empire State Building, and the New York City subway system. They gave us the works, of really great geniuses; F.Scott Fitzgerald, Flannery O'Connor, and the late, great William F. Buckley, he was a great guy. And the gave us heroes like Apollo 11 astronaut Michael Collins, a really fantastic man.
