I agree. I got the trilogy because I was on a Wales reading kick that started with How Green was My Valley.

Well, sure. But thatās because we donāt have Trump negotiating with reality. If Trump says āit shouldnāt even affect usā, it wonāt. Believe me.

The presumptive Republican presidential nominee later told reporters that the stock marketās fall on Friday was due to Wall Streetās worries about President Barack Obamaās economic policies and the U.S. debt.
Letās see ā Obama has been in office for seven and a half years and the Brexit vote happened on Thursday. By Friday, the pound had lost 10% of its value and the Dow Jones dropped 600 points. And this massive global loss of wealth was caused by Wall Streetās reaction to Obamaās 7Ā½-year-old economic policies and had nothing to do with the Brexit vote the day before?
This is something like saying that the fall of the Roman Empire was caused by the Egyptian Pharaohs building the pyramids and taking all that grain out of circulation.
Wharton should send Trump a cease and desist letter to stop him mentioning where he learned his business acumen. It canāt be doing their enrollment any good.

Guessinā he didnāt bother to look at StockDrop frenzyā¦ in the US.
The pot-belly calling the black kettle.
kettle: British term meaning confined to a small area
The article is good enough, but the editorās note is definitely worth the trip:
Editorās note: Donald Trump regularly incites political violence and is a serial liar, rampant xenophobe, racist, misogynist and birther who has repeatedly pledged to ban all Muslims ā 1.6 billion members of an entire religion ā from entering the U.S.

There is no reason to worry about your shrinking retirement account. The weak British pound will result in higher occupancy rates at Donald Trumpās Scottish resorts, so all is good.
This is why we need to Ben Carson in the Trump administration.

āShouldnātā, huh? Now that is pretty securingā¦ And what if it does, Donald? So far, youāve praised the UK for it AND blamed Obama for it? Sounds like youāve got all the bases coveredā¦
What a coward you are!
@azjude Does that mean youāre having bad thoughts about Mr. Drumpf? 'Coz you might get banned from the USā¦or something.

N. Ireland is hoping England gets its head out of its ass and reverses course on this. If they donāt, N. Irelandās got a very real border issue to worry about. Ireland, N. Ireland, and Scotland should just put their heads together and declared themselves the āUnited Celtdomā and let Scotland and N.I. petition Brussels to remain in the EU.

What a complete and total moron. I lost about 8 times that between Thursday and Friday.
Time for Donald to visit that beautiful city of Belgiumā¦
I repeatā¦what a complete and total moron. How any thinking Republican (an oxymoron if there ever was oneā¦and I stress the word moron) could believe that their likely candidate is going to suddenly pivot and become John Maynard Keynes, Benjamin Desreli, and the Dali Lama combined have their heads so far up they can perform their own root canals.
Heās your candidate Republicansā¦and he doesnāt even know what the term Brexit means, he has no foreign policy advisors (and said that if he did there wouldnāt be anything to talk about) and he has a position a day on issues and every one of them is different. You chose him. You own him. Good luckā¦-13 and descendingā¦
Please God let him get past the conventionā¦please!!!

He surpasses merely being disqualified. Thereās something treasonous about his approach to this countryās president and his support for Vlad.
āI think he [Vlad] will be probably [benefit politically], because I know how heās been scorned to a certain extent,ā Mr. Trump said, adding later: āHe said some very nice things about me. I think he probably is somewhat of a beneficiary.ā
āHeās constantly dictating to the world what they should do. The world doesnāt listen to him obviously,ā Mr. Trump said of Mr. Obama, who was against Britain leaving the European Union. āHeās embarrassed.ā
āIāve been in touch with them [policy advisers] but thereās nothing to talk about,ā Mr. Trump said. Besides, he added, he would rather have advisers who are divorced from recent global events.
āI think I want to use ones that havenāt been involved, take a look at whatās happened in the world,ā Mr. Trump said.

I think he has to understand how interconnected things are. He might not be a great businessman, but heās done business in other countries. Heās deliberately choosing to be stupid because above all he has to pretend that somehow Pres. Obama caused a one-day plunge the morning after this referendum that caused all the other markets to plunge.
Trump was for Brexit, in his doofus way, so he canāt blame THAT. And if he thinks he has an idea how to protect US markets and businesses from disasters, well, it would be nice for him to explain how.
And of course, the stock market has more than doubled under Obama. Even with last dayās fallout, the Dow is near its all-time high. But heās not going to give credit to Obama for THAT.
