says Trump.

Aberdeen journal: Mr. Trump, who won’t be taking questions, spends the afternoon talking to reporters anyway, 6/25/16

Asked about the turmoil it has caused in the global financial markets, Trump replied that it was “too bad” but downplayed the role the so-called Brexit decision had played in riling the American stock market. He suggested there were larger factors involved. “A lot of bad decisions, a lot of bad things happening in this world,” Trump said.

Repeatedly pressed on what he would say to Americans worried about their retirement accounts, Trump straightened his white “Make America Great Again” hat, which had come loose atop his head. “Americans are very much different. This shouldn’t even affect them,” he replied.

... And soon the rambling gaggle continued, as reporters pressed Trump on what he meant when he said Americans shouldn’t be affected by the Brexit decision. “Ideally, it shouldn’t,” the Republican hopeful said.

...Although he might not think the British vote to leave the European Union should affect the United States, a reporter told him, the country’s financial markets were taking a hit. [font color = blue]“Nobody knows that,”[/font] Trump interjected. Echoing comments he made Friday, he trashed Obama for “getting involved” in the vote.
