Donald Trump Thinks Brexit Foreshadows His Victory. Here's Why He May Be Right
Forbes ^ | June 24, 2016 | David Schrieberg

It’s not surprising that Donald Trump has been riding the Brexit bandwagon.

In the days before Thursday’s referendum on Britain’s continued membership in the European Union – the results of which have been roiling global markets since the “leave” camp pulled a stunning victory – Trump had been saying that he would vote to leave. He’s not British, so he couldn’t – but that didn’t stop him from claiming his piece of the victory.

On Friday, during a visit to Scotland to inaugurate a newly renovated golf course at the Trump Turnberry Resort, he took to his favorite medium to signal his thoughts:

“Just arrived in Scotland,” he tweeted. “Place is going wild over the vote. They took their country back, just like we will take America back. No games!”(continued)

The MSM is touting new polls in which they have Hillary ahead by 15 points. This obvious lie is a sign of their desperation.

I thought Scotland would not be “going wild” as Trump reports. Which is it?

I think the split was 48% stay and 52% exit. A lot of the younger vote favored staying. The younger vote is, of course, where Sanders had the most impact. Interpret that one please.

The Hillary Campaign made a new Ad today about Trump’s response to a question at the Golf Club opening Press Conference.

He was asked if his Foreign Policy team was with him and he said no. I guess Hillary thinks he needs them to help him cut a Ribbon at an opening Ceremony.

Just caught a glimpse of it on the 11:00 Local News.

They make it look like Trump was only interested in Brexit because he can make money off it, unlike Hillary’s buddy Soros of course.

He landed in Scotland and he was talking about Britain leaving the EU, not Scotland’s Vote to stay in the EU.

Well both are populist anti establishment movements in an era of increasing skepticism of centralizing power.

With Trump, after a while you figure out it’s not dumb luck that keeps Trump on top. It’s smart luck through Preparation + opportunity.

I think after today #nevertrump dies quickly as the people who think they’re going to out smart Trump realize they’re not.

Hillary (like the Obamas) never goes anywhere without her entire entourage of friends, armed guards, relatives, aides, makeup artists, sex partners (husband optional), and random hangers on. All to create the image of grandeur, power, and importance.

Living large on other people’s money is the liberal way.

Someone like Hillary thinks about how many people she can bring to make her look like a queen, a businessman like Trump thinks about bringing just enough of the right people to get the job done.

Right person, right place, right time.
If not for Trump we’d be crying ‘rah rah Bush’ into our beer knowing we’re screwed. We may be screwed in any case. But at least now we’ve got a shot to excel, much like the Brit’s new situation. Things are certainly looking up this past year. Never thought I’d be able to say so and mean it.

The MSM/govt establishment always finds a way to poll the democrat ahead by 15 points or so at this point. It’s a given.

Can you imagine what’s going to happen to Hillary at any debates and what the real polls will be at that point?

Too many people hate Hillary and they sure as hell don’t trust her at this point. I don’t see how she could ever overcome those facts.

Trump’s enthusiasm could backfire if things go sour and the effects are largely negative – as pretty much most right-thinking observers, analysts and economists think


Ponder that phrase: right-thinking observers.
