"Donald Trump predicts breakup of EU". Let's just say he is not unhappy about it.

Would-be US president also says Europe would be unrecognisable within decade without strict migration controls

Donald Trump has predicted the breakup of the European Union and warned Scotland against the risks of a second independence referendum.

During a visit to Scotland hours after Britain opted to leave the EU in a historic referendum, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee said that without strict migration controls Europe would be unrecognisable within a decade.

In an interview with the Times, Trump said: “The people have spoken. I think the EU is going to break up. I think the EU might break up before anybody thinks in terms of Scotland. I really think that without the immigration issue [the EU] wouldn’t have had a chance of breaking up ... the people are fed up, whether it’s here or in other countries. You watch: other countries will follow.”

Trump’s own campaign in the US has centred on his controversial stance on immigration, including the erection of a wall on the US-Mexican border and the imposition of a temporary ban on all Muslims entering the US.

"without strict migration controls", Donald. You mean like a yuuuuuuge wall somewhere?

The marriage of Brexit and the Donald just seems to go on and on.
