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 doesnt know what Brexit is
Trump said, Well, I dont like to take positions in things that Im 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.Link to tweet
Trump didnt predict Brexit
It appeared that Trump was about to say that he didnt want to take a position because he didnt 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 hes 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.

(6,913 posts)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.

(8,998 posts)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

(10,208 posts)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.

(82,849 posts)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.
