From the 1950s until the present-day most of the people who emigrated to the US from West Kerry automatically found themselves at home politically with the Democrats on arrival in America.
The letters are so well emblazoned it took one hour to remove the 'T'.
It's a different story these days. Indeed, there are many villages in West Kerry today where the home-coming 'yanks' proudly admit their allegiance to President Donald Trump.
A home-coming friend gave me a Trump hat the last time he was in Kerry.
Ashamed to wear it, after an hour of destitching this is what I did.
And irony of ironies the hat is made in Bangladesh. So much for making America great again and producing everything in the US.
Another four hours removing the full name seemed an inappropriate wast of time. And maybe the remaining four letters tell a better story.
Then again removing the 'P' could give it a whole new meaning.
