Trump on Brexit: America is next

[spanone]

in your dreams, don. America, please take this as a threat.

Washington (CNN)British voters just shattered political convention in a stunning repudiation of the ruling establishment. Donald Trump is betting America is about to do the same.

Voters in the UK did more than reject the European Union and topple their pro-EU Prime Minister David Cameron in a referendum Thursday.

They also set off a cascade of events that could spark global economic chaos, remake the Western world, reverberate through November's presidential election and challenge U.S. security for years to come.

The referendum campaign -- just like the U.S. election -- has boiled with populist anger, fear-mongering by politicians, hostility towards distant political elites and resurgent nationalism, and exposed a visceral feeling in the electorate that ordinary voters have lost control of the politics that shape their own lives. Its success raises the question of whether those forces will exert a similar influence in America in November.

1. We're going to be leaving the EU too? n/t

5. Time to get those Germans back for bombing Pearl Harbor

18. MY first thought too!

Trump may believe, like Fox, that the EU = UN.

Or he could just believe that the US also has EU membership. Don is not the brightest bulb in the package.

3. Trump to break up the USA?

Good to know.

[RussBLib]

4. and I'm sure Trump is salivating at the prospect of bargains

There's probably going to be a lot of choice London real estate on the market soon at bargain rates.

Perfect for the vulture capitalist Trump.

8. With the big monetary

disruption of the last 24 hours,watch the Banks and Wall Street join the Clinton Campaign. If anyone thinks this will happen here,guess again. The Big Money will squelch and attempt.

15. You never know, NAFTA could be next

Or the Trans-Pacific Partnership. It could be that the era of big trade deals is receding. Some progressives might even think that would be ok, as these deals were primarily to the benefit of trans-national capitalists, and harmed the working classes. Others would fear that it could represent a xenophobic turn, in countries in general, and in the west in particular. Both interpretations could be true - they don't necessarily contradict each other.

17. Has anyone told trump that we don't belong to the EU?

[napkinz]

19. Trump talks with himself; he has a very good brain

[pampango]

20. The specifics may be different. Trump hopes the mentality of fear and hate is the same.

As a liberal, I hope he is wrong.
