Trump Humiliates Himself By Appearing Not To Know What Brexit Is

.


The Dotard didn't get his morning Diet Coke.


A joint press conference with Prime Minister May, Trump claimed to understand Brexit well but then appeared to have no idea what it is.
Trump doesn’t know what Brexit is

Trump said, “Well, I don’t like to take positions in things that I’m not really — I understand the issue very well. I really predicted what was going to happen. Some of you remember that prediction. It was a strong prediction, made at a certain location on a development we were opening the day before it happened. And I thought it was going to happen because of immigration more than anything else, but probably it happens for a lot of reasons.”




Trump didn’t predict Brexit

It appeared that Trump was about to say that he didn’t want to take a position because he didn’t understand the issue, but he caught himself and claimed that he understood the issue “very well,” which in Trump speak means that he has no clue, but he thinks he’s right. After that, it was time for the usual false claim of accuracy. Trump never predicted Brexit. The remarks that he claimed to have made never happened.

It got attention because he was in Scotland for the opening of some building at Turnberry golf course. He brought up and applauded Brexit, when Scotland had voted heavily against it. Endearing himself to the neighbors again.

That is deeply disturbing for our democracy.

We knew much of what was happening (ICs failed to stop it) and mitch refused to expose it.

I doubt we can stop more interference before 2020

He will do anything to keep power

pretty much sums up Trump's entire political strategy and world view. His contant demagoguing of the immigration issue is the only reason his virulently racist, nativist, nazi, white supremacist base still supports him.

At least Trump stopped at "I understand it very well" and didn't launch into his standard "I understand Brexit better than the economists, better than anybody." Because he showed quite clearly that he didn't understand it at all.
