Moonbat heads on both sides of the ocean exploding in unison.
Quote:London (AFP) – US President-elect Donald Trump on Sunday hailed Brexit as “a great thing” and backed a speedy trade agreement with Britain, in an interview with The Times newspaper.
He also forecast that other countries would follow Britain’s lead in voting to leave the European Union.
“Brexit is going to end up being a great thing,” Trump said of Britain’s referendum vote last June to leave the European Union.
The president-elect said a trade deal with Britain would be “good for both sides”.
“Absolutely, very quickly. I’m a big fan of the UK, we’re gonna work very hard to get it done quickly and done properly,” said Trump, confirming he will meet British Prime Minister Theresa May soon after his inauguration on January 20.
His enthusiasm for a bilateral deal will be welcomed by the British government, which in recent months has been searching for possible trade partners following its planned departure from the EU.
Trump also said Brexit would likely be followed by others in the 28-country bloc deciding to leave.
“I think people want . . . their own identity, so if you ask me … I believe others will leave,” Trump said, following Britain’s June vote to leave the EU.
The president-elect blamed the referendum result on an influx of refugees to Europe, which saw more than a million people arrive during 2015.
“If they hadn’t been forced to take in all of the refugees, so many, with all the problems that it… entails, I think that you wouldn’t have a Brexit. This was the final straw that broke the camel’s back,” he said.

It's the best thing the U.K. has done in 30 years.
Our closest ally should obviously be first in line to work with us.

He's behind everything. Period. I had a sandwich the other day and the temperature was a little off. It was also kinda stale. There can only be one conclusion. Putin.

So this seems to be yet another incident where Tom's prognostication powers were shown to be incorrect.

This is a good piece of news. Assisting Britain in a time of political and economic need will do wonders in the long run. While we have friends in the EU, we should remember that the organization has an ultimate goal of competing with the US in trade and policy making.
We should cut deals with singular countries and not an entire block.
