oops, he should have checked with his advisors before talking about Brexit.

The United Kingdom is in shock after the nation voted to leave the EU in a historic referendum, prompting David Cameron to announce his resignation as Prime Minister.

And, just when you thought this day couldn't get any more dramatic, Donald Trump has shown up in Scotland. Brilliant.

Naturally, Trump has already weighed in with his thoughts on Brexit, and it's safe to say that it didn't go down well. Like, at all.....

Trump obviously doesn't understand that the UK is made up of countries and that Scotland voted the other way

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!

That's funny right there.  Scotland votes to remain in the EU and he tweets that.

Twit.

And here the Trump Militant are attempting to tie what happened there with the vote to Trump's campaign itself.

Amazing what they have to try and graft onto their guy to give him creds.
Fart for freedom, fart for liberty and fart proudly.  - Benjamin Franklin

...Obsta principiis—Nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people. When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers and destroyers press upon them so fast that there is no resisting afterwards. The nature of the encroachment upon [the] American constitution is such, as to grow every day more and more encroaching. Like a cancer, it eats faster and faster every hour." - John Adams, February 6, 1775

I see about 110 thread headlines attempting to link Trump to Brexit and it makes no sense.

If the vote went the other way, you probably would have seen the same thing too. Probably spun as 'fighting the establishment parliament in the UK, the people have spoken to make Europe great again'.   I'm sure "Citizens for Trump" had the talking points for that read to send out.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
