Europe is a victim to its on over bearing Tax, social and Economic practices of the EU.
I love all of the people whining about globalization as if Marco Polo (and others) didn't travel the world waaaay back in the day.
The world has had a global economy for as long as people have ventured beyond their own borders, which means basically forever.

Good luck reigning it all in now.

If it wasn't ungentlemanlike, I might be tempted to hint that there is very little room in Trump's head for thoughts that aren't about Trump.

In the transcript, they ask him the same question three times (about Scotland leaving the UK and Britain leaving the EU) and he fails to give an answer. A reporter than asks:

"QUESTION: ... momentous — momentous right now, and you are on the world stage. Are you traveling with any of your foreign policy advisers? You knew that this was going to happen today, there was going to be some sort of decision.

Are you huddling with them to find out what the best way..."


They have to ask him a fourth time because he seems so detached from reality. This is a HUGE thing. He's treating it like some small little nothing.

His answer? TRUMP: Well, I've been in touch with them, but there's nothing to talk about.

Trump is totally out of his league. He shouldn't be running for dogcatcher, let alone President.

I watched Trump's speech and the q &a afterward...he killed it no matter what the incredibly biased media might say.

I hope American voters vote their conscience and block the media and globalist elites desires and dump Hillary's bought and paid for politics....like the UK did.

Before some stupid imbecil says Scotland voted in...I'm aware, I don't care and they're not voting in the US election.

He killed it, how? By failing to answer the questions asked? Is that how he killed it? By talking all about himself? Is that how he killed it? By showing the worst side of the "self centered American"? Is that how he killed it?

Killed it how? He was clueless about the repercussions of the decision. It was clear that he was over his head and rather talk about his golf course renovations where he had a better grasp. I watched the press conference live and didn't listen to media whatsoever. People were dumbfounded that he couldn't answer basic questions on the subject and didn't do his homework.

He killed it by answering every question in a superb manner with reason, logic, and even humility....HE KILLED IT!

He answered it from the perspective of a golf course/hotel owner. He didn't address the repercussions to our country (economic and military).....you know why he didn't address it? Because he doesn't have a ****ing clue what he would be talking about. Reminds me of the nuclear triad question.
