Trump says U.K. vote to leave EU is a "great thing," will help elect him President

[Miles Archer]

Donald Trump said Friday the forces that persuaded the United Kingdom to leave the European Union will help elect him president of the United States later this year.

"I think I see a big parallel ... people want to take their country back," Trump said in re-opening his Turnberry golf course in Scotland just hours after the results of the "Brexit" vote were announced.

Before his golf course news conference, Trump said the British people "took their country back, just like we will take America back."

Trump said the desire to control borders and block illegal immigration are big factors in both the Brexit results and his own presidential race, adding that people in both countries tired of seeing migrants "pouring" in.

1. Well, I hope there are not enough frightened bigots and racist to elect him.

3. I hope so too but he uses many of the same tactics as the anti-immigrant right in Europe.

We can hope it will be less successful here but I am not as confident of that as I was yesterday.

2. Yep, president of the Clown Car. He said this in Scotland and they voted to stay, guess he did
