Trump and Vladimir Putin were the only two world political figures who publicly stated their support for Brexit.
So
it was unsurprising to hear the Republican presidential nominee say how
happy he was that Britons had ‘taken back their country’.
The parallels between Trump’s campaign and that waged by Brexit leaders Boris Johnson and Nigel Farage are obvious.
All three men are all anti-politicians, in the sense that they don’t behave or speak like conventional politicians.
Their joint modus operandi is shooting from the hip and saying outrageous things to grab media attention.
They
crack inappropriate jokes, belittle opponents often in a very puerile
way, and have all been variously dismissed as ‘buffoons’and ‘idiots’ and
even compared to Hitler.
But they
share unshakeable self-confidence and have skilfully presented
themselves as outsiders far removed from the political elite and
‘establishment’, who stand up for the average man and woman in the
street.
They’ve
also focused with laser-like, ruthless precision on hot button issues
which they know many of those people are genuinely worried about,
notably immigration and terrorism.
At
his presser in Scotland this morning, Trump said: ‘People are angry all
over the world. They’re angry over borders, they’re angry over people
coming into the country and taking over and nobody even knows who they
are. They’re angry about many, many things in the UK. It’s essentially
the same thing that’s happening in the United States.’
Regardless
of what you think of Trump’s inflammatory rhetoric, and his
uncompromising talk of walls and bans, does anybody really doubt after
this shock Brexit result that he’s right about the levels of anger?

I don't know, Brock, if you are aware but in UK they are
ReplyDeleteputting together a recount of BREXIT saying a lot of people
changed their minds. I don't see how this could possibly
be legal. Heard it on the local news last nite.
Neither do I since it was 52% to 48%.
DeleteDisregard. They must have been talking about Scotland.
ReplyDeleteChecked WLOS and referral to Scotland. I was in a panic
mode.
:) Thanks.
DeleteOn second thought, I guess it is true. Calling for
Deletea re-vote to BREXIT via petition. Outrageous:

Yes, I read something similar yesterday and as this states, the 'rule' should have been in place before, for it to have any validity. Commies don't like fair elections. :)
