I keep seeing the shocking news in the UK and how shocked everyone is.
And All I can think of, is Donald Trump.
I must point out that due to an amazing line up of marketing tactics Trump, "just happened" to be in Scotland for the "opening of a golf course" there. I think he obviously subtly did that on purpose, he may have even hoped for the the Brexit so that he can tout his anti-establishment message which now all of international and British media are admitting and agreeing with!
Trump has been acting very presidential throughout the last few days as he took a Victory Lap around the Brexit results. What is interesting here is that Trump would have a much better opportunity than Hillary dealing with the new UK government than a Clinton wishing for the good old days. In fact, Trump if elected could probably leave a long lasting legacy in the UK as this weird anti-establishment message echoes around the world!
Speaking as someone who dislikes both Trump and Hillary, I would have to agree. Brexit will be a boon for Trump and it will be ominous for Hillary. The same issues that became the last straw in the UK are very similar to the issues that led to the insurgent anti-establishment politician movement in the US. Without that movement, Trump would have been laughed off the political state before he got started. In any previous election, the mass media would have single handedly destroyed Trump. They do not have that power today, just as they did not in the UK. Hillary is on the wrong side of history today.
