Trump baffles with bizarre appearance in Scotland
http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/trump-baffles-bizarre-appearance-scotland?cid=sm_fb_maddow
Earlier this month, Donald Trump was asked about the upcoming vote in the U.K. about leaving the European Union. The reporter asked, “And Brexit? Your position?” Trump replied, “Huh?”

“Brexit,” the reporter repeated. “Hmm,” Trump responded, apparently unfamiliar with the term.

With this exchange in mind, consider what the presumptive Republican presidential nominee said on Twitter this morning:
“Just arrived in Scotland. Place is going wild over the vote. They took their country back, just like we will take America back. No games!”
What Trump may not realize, or really even be able to fully understand, is that Scotland is “going wild” because Scottish voters overwhelmingly voted against leaving the E.U. Locally, people aren’t celebrating – because they see this as a disaster.

Trump proceeded to hold a press conference in Scotland, against the backdrop of one of the most important political moments in the modern history of the United Kingdom, where he spoke at great length, and in great detail, about his new golf resort. The Republican candidate boasted about refurbished holes on his course, plumbing, putting greens, and zoning considerations.

Even by the low standards of Donald J. Trump, it was among the most baffling press conferences anyone has ever seen. The entirety of Scotland is reeling; the future of the U.K. and the continent is uncertain; and an American presidential candidate arrived to deliver a testimonial about a country club and how fond he is of the design of a golf course.

Wait, it gets worse.

Asked about economic turmoil and the degree to which the Brexit results are undermining the value of the British pound, Trump relied that the market decline is good news – for him.

“If the pound goes down, more people are coming to Turnberry, frankly,” he said, referring to the location of his resort. “For traveling and for other things, I think it very well could turn out to be positive.”

In a generational moment for the United Kingdom, Trump’s principal concern is what this means for Trump.

He added that as far as he’s concerned, golf courses are like countries. Trump wasn’t kidding.

When NBC News’ Katy Tur asked the presidential candidate whether he’s traveling with any foreign policy advisors who’ve spoken to him about Brexit, Trump replied that he’s been in touch with his team – but “there’s nothing to talk about.”

He then suggested yesterday’s vote was President Obama’s fault.

You'll be saying Flump is in denial about the fact that the Scots in the vicinity of his golf courses would like to see him dead so that they can piss on his grave next.

In the long run I do not see a large hit to the UK’s economy, unless the EU retaliates with economic penalties. I really do not think they can do that effectively without damaging their own economies.

I believe there is a good chance the UK will survive just fine and at least break even economically…without having to pay membership in the UE or dealing with the disastrous EU immigration policies. If this happens I believe more members will follow the UK’s example.



The EU, in my opinion, is neither likely to "retaliate" nor be revengeful. There are regulations for non-members like Norway, Switzerland, Iceland to be a part of the European common market - all differing in details like regulations about freedom of personal movement. BUT: these cost money nonetheless, these countries also contribute their shares to the costs of the common market.

But the Brexiters never announced what kind of regulations they would have in mind, following the Norwegian, Swiss, Icelandic example or something completely different. They also forgot to mention that whatever happens the UK would have to contribute (pay) to the common market any way.

The EU lost a net paying country. But for decades the UK was refunded with more than 65% of what they paid. So the net loss for the EU revenue is far less than the figures permanently announced by Boris and the kippers. And the common market will cost some of that money nonetheless.

It is a God-given right and instincts to be free. I know it goes against many people on this website because the leftists don't believe in God, but that doesn't diminish the facts of nature.




mnottertail -> RE: Brexit Vote Results (6/24/2016 10:05:01 AM)

leftists are part of nature so their wish to be free is just as deep as your (actually godless) wish.

What freedom do they have now exactly they didnt have yesterday?

heh I think he underestimates the scots and overestimates his "popularity"




kdsub -> RE: Brexit Vote Results (6/24/2016 10:11:56 AM)

I am certainly not an expert on the UE but according to THIS link the differential was closer to 37 percent not 65. According to the link Germany received 44 percent back...so the UK was the largest percentage contributor. If you hover your mouse over the graph the amounts are displayed for contributions and money received.

WhoreMods -> RE: Brexit Vote Results (6/24/2016 10:13:17 AM)

Well, underestimating the Scots is why they don't like him, isn't it?

God given right???? where is that stated? Especially when we actively seek out other people, by nature. Independence bollocks
BTW... Suggesting that lefties dont believe in God is bullshit too.
However.
No, you are simply wrong.

I wonder if he's equally in favour of moslems' god-given right to convert infidels?




Lucylastic -> RE: Brexit Vote Results (6/24/2016 10:18:33 AM)

conversion of non believers is part of most religions "god" given rights.




Musicmystery -> RE: Brexit Vote Results (6/24/2016 10:19:42 AM)

It's an idea that goes back to Zoroastrian religion -- i.e., it's a Persian (Iranian) idea.

Let him chew on that for a while.




WhoreMods -> RE: Brexit Vote Results (6/24/2016 10:19:45 AM)

Indeed. Which is why it seems strange that it's only bearded middle eastern sorts who get given shit about that one.
