America just can’t get enough of our President Michael D. Higgins

Jun 7, 2017

On Sunday, our president Michael D. Higgins met Bernie Saudners in the Áras, and it's safe to say our bromance dreams came true.

Of course, we all went wild with the pictures, but it wasn't until last night that America caught on to it.

Bernie tweeted a picture with Mickey D, while also letting his supporters know that both of them have very similar views on a number of important issues.

Pres. Higgins, a member of the Labour Party, has been a lifelong advocate for workers' rights, women's equality and the needs of refugees.

However, Twitter concentrated more on the resemblance of the pair, going so far as to say they're twins:

I didn't think it was possible to be cuter than Bernie Sanders, but I was wrong. https://t.co/0EdEBpsZ3O
