What a fucking tool. Seriously.

“I think they (Britain) may leave the EU, yes, they’re having a lot of problems,” he said, according to The Telegraph.
“I don’t want to make a comment about the UK leaving but I think they
may leave based on - I’m there a lot, I have a lot of investments in the
UK and I will tell you that I think they may leave based on everything
I’m hearing.”

It’s always about him and his investments.

yes… it’s a selective edit but I’m not Katie Couric or NBC editing George Zimmerman’s remarks about shooting Trayvon Martin…

Here is a much more appropriate headline, Caitlin:

I’ll give him a break on the term ‘brexit’, I’ve never heard it before; but the argle-bargle double speak as the interview continued is pure Drumpf, having it both ways.

Though moderately familiar with the UKs potential exit from the EU, I’d never heard the term “Brexit” either.

Why don’t those “hard-hitting journalists” ever ask follow-ups like, “really, what ARE you hearing, specifically?” And push hIm on it.

It does rather seem like the name of a breakfast cereal or some new prescription drug, doesn’t it?

We’ve see just yesterday what Trump does when gently prodded. He lashes out calling the prodder, who asked about the Trump Unversity papers, “that sleazy guy from ABC…(points) I know you and you’re a sleaze.”

Oh yeah…I want a President that doesn’t even know what he is being ASKED but then when a one line sentence is given to define a WORD gives a seat of the pants answer. Oh yeah.

I am there a lot, yet I have not heard a term plastered across all papers, tv, radio, conversations. That’s because I am surrounded by a bubble of my own greatness, they just throw food in and I throw shit out.
