The European Commission President said the US President should have stayed out of Britain's referendum.

Mr Trump weighed in to endorse Brexit last summer while the Republican candidate. He was then assisted on his own campaign by the then Ukip leader Nigel Farage.

OH, and I forgot to add that Juncker is the clown who, during the Financial Crisis said, “When it becomes serious, you have to lie.”

Open a beer.

It’s kind of funny he went for Austin, Texas instead of just Texas.

Maybe we should get Berlin to leave the E. U...

Maybe draft the Philippine Islands in exchange for California and give Puerto Rico back to Spain.
