He has NO IDEA how interconnected world economies work. Which is why he thinks he can just force all the factories back here. No idea that funds hold international bonds and stocks all dependent on international trade deals like the EU.

He is too stupid to put in charge.

LOL! The Dow dropped 600 points,and the world economy lost 2 trillion dollars overnight.

The one thing The Brexit Vote would have in common with a Trump Presidency is instantaneous buyers remorse

Every time he opens his mouth he adds to his being disqualified for any political office.

Ha, took him 48 full hours to realize that taking personal credit for this wasn’t so smart.

Now that he’s retroactively declared this to be officially entirely Obama’s doing, but that everything will be fine anyway… he can blame Obama when it isn’t.

A little slow, but you got there in the end, Donny! We’ll make an orthodox Republican of you yet.

Relax…remember he’s going to be Chairman Emeritus as President.

So the real work will be done by the VP, while he works on new lines for the Trump brand like tampons and toilet paper.

Of course he’s right–-that’s why over $830 Billion in US assets were wiped away yesterday in the stock market.

Trump continues to shoot from the lip, and he continues to underwhelm with his “intelligence,” to use that word very, very loosely.

"that the stock market’s fall on Friday was due to Wall Street’s worries about President Barack Obama’s economic policies "

Since Barack Obama became President stock market is up 195% or 15.7% annualized…
(dividends reinvested)…

Trump: I am now confused. My net worth dropped a lot when Brexit happened. All of my properties in Scotland are now worth less because $$ has become expensive compared to Pound. This is Obama trying to steal my money. His fault.

Note to self: always use Trump as gauge for what not to do.

Note to Trump: the world is watching, you clown, you aren’t invisible.

“The presumptive Republican presidential nominee later told reporters
that the stock market’s fall on Friday was due to Wall Street’s worries
about President Barack Obama’s economic policies and the U.S. debt.”

More proof of why this is happening,and I couldn’t be laughing harder:

"At a Federalist Society lunch in Washington yesterday, conservative
columnist and TV commentator George Will announced that he changed his
Maryland voter registration this month from Republican to unaffiliated.
“This is not my party,” he told the crowd, according to an account by PJ Media’s Nicholas Ballasy.
Will, who has arguably been the most biting and prolific member of the conservative anti-Trump club, reportedly cited House Speaker Paul Ryan’s endorsement of Trump
as one of the last straws, and was noncommittal about whether he would
support Libertarian presidential nominee Gary Johnson. Asked by Ballasy
to recommend what conservative anti-Trumpers should do now, Will said:
“Make sure he loses.”

Trump does’t seem to realize it (how could he?), but he’s not all that popular in Scotland:.


People gathered in Edinburgh and Glasgow to demonstrate against the result and show support for migrants

“No to Trump” is not just for sane Americans these days. It’s for sane people everywhere.
