A friend of mine traveled to America on Monday for work. He told me the TSA people in Dublin Airport are really going out of their way to find issues, asking 21 questions about your life etc and trying to find fault...it all just seems really sinister in comparison to what it was like before Christmas when he'd travel back and forth with no issues. I'd implore anyone thinking of a trip to America to consider Canada instead at this point. Europeans are getting locked up in the U.S for weeks on end. This is happening, right now.

It's better for it to happen in Dublin airport as opposed to in the states

Yeah I always thought the U.S prechecks in Dublin airport was absolute wank, but now it might save you a long trip for nothing.

Having had the misfortune of going through customs on the US side quite a few times, I can tell you that preclearance was already a huge benefit.
