Donald Trump blames dissolution of European Union on refugees — 'all of these illegals'

President-elect Donald Trump blamed Europe’s acceptance of Mideast refugees — as he put it, “all of these illegals” — for the decision by Britain to leave the European Union, and predicted the organization would disintegrate barring a reversal of immigration policies promoted by German Chancellor Angela Merkel.

“People, countries, want their own identity and the UK wanted its own identity,” Trump told representatives of the Times of London and the German publication Bild about the June Brexit vote. “But, I do believe this, 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."

“I believe others will leave ... I think it’s gonna be very hard to keep it together because people are angry about it.”

Merkel, a longtime U.S. ally who is facing election this year, came in for tough treatment from Trump, who also criticized the North American Treaty Organization that has been the western bulwark against Russia on the European continent.

It’s too late for most of western Europe, but eastern Europe will save itself from the muslim hordes.

Exactly.

Even without the influx, it's an economically unsustainable project. However, Merkel's Folly is the atom bomb that will eventually take down the European Project.

Yes, he is. Which means it’ll be met with “outrage” because you know how the truth is to the left.

Dear Lord in Heaven, how can so-called "journalists" be so uneducated?

Scuse me Mr. Trump, we have plenty of refugees coming into our own country; courtesy of your predecessor. Are you getting rid of them, because “extreme vetting”(as you suggested) seems like extreme nonsense. And what about the muzzies already here? Have they been vetted to your satisfaction?

Once again, he’s pretty much spot on. Hopefully, Trump and Orban can get together and start handling some shit. Espcecially after Orban gets rid of Soros’ influence in Hungary

“How can liberals not see this?”

They see it, but are in a state of “cognitive dissonance”. In other words they see the reality but deny it because they believe their delusional world view of a multicultural paradise with everyone singing kumbaya, more than they believe their eyes.

Todays liberals have been brought up on post-modernism, so they believe that reality, truth, logic, etc are malleable social constructs that can be massaged to be what one wants.

They are due for a cruel awakening, when the Gods of The Copybook Headings return...

“As it will be in the future, it was at the birth of Man
There are only four things certain since Social Progress began.
That the Dog returns to his Vomit and the Sow returns to her Mire,
And the burnt Fool’s bandaged finger goes wabbling back to the Fire;

And that after this is accomplished, and the brave new world begins
When all men are paid for existing and no man must pay for his sins,
As surely as Water will wet us, as surely as Fire will burn,
The Gods of the Copybook Headings with terror and slaughter return! “

Kipling

An excellent way to carve out a new slice of Media might be to relabel the "migrants" who used to be called "refugees" as what they are: Muslim Colonists.

It says:

Merkel, a longtime U.S. ally who is facing election this year, came in for tough treatment from Trump, who also criticized the North Atlantic Treaty Organization that has been the western bulwark against Russia on the European continent.

“But, I do believe this, 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."

Britain didn't take in many of the current illegal migrant wave, and wasn't forced to take those they did let in (mostly via "The Jungle"/Calais). Britain did voluntarily open its border to a massive Eastern European influx (Poles, Lithuanians, Romanians,...) after the 2004 accessions. Never mind all the riffraff from outside the EU (Africans, Pakistanis,...). All the years of that is what led to Brexit. JMHO!
