Greg Palkot: Trump, Brexit, and a straight whiskey
Fox News ^ | June 24,2016 | Greg Palkot

What sounded like an ill-fated trip to a foreign business enterprise turned into a perfect foreign policy photo op for Donald Trump.

He stood on the shimmering southwest Scottish coast, launched his refurbed Turnberry golf course, and praised the just announced results of the UK referendum on the the European Union.

"People want to take their country back," Trump declared, "They want to have At one point, as we trailed the Trump caravan, cameraman Mal James turned to me and said, this is the biggest European story since the fall of the Berlin Wall.

And he was right. The majority of older people voting wanted to leave the European Union. They were worried about borders they say are out of control. And laws imposed not of their making.

What will happen next? No one on the radio we were listening to could come up with an answer. Will Britain become "Great" again? Or just shrink into "Little England."

Time to contemplate that one shortly in Aberdeen, with a glass of Scotland's finest. Neat. No ice.

The pundits are saying Trump was lucky to have been there. I never believed that. I believe he is steps ahead of the useless tools of the world.

I agree. While the rest of the one dimensional thinkers are playing checkers and thinking themselves quite clever, Trump isn't just playing chess, he's playing three dimensional chess.

And he's winning.

LOL!

The media going apocalyptic is becoming a story of it’s own, for the sheer panic they are in.

It’s getting funny, the fear mongering, the hysteria, the hyperbole of the media, that this man is actually LEADING on two continents, and the stupid conventions have not yet occurred.

Christiana Amanpour took the cake today, for splody head.

While I am sure this trip had been planned well in advance and there was certainly no way Trump could have known the outcome ,it looks like Trump may be Fated and Born under a Lucky Star.

He just happens to be in Scotland the day after the biggest vote in Decades in England and has an opportunity to comment and even better did not shoot from the hip and said exactly the right things before his round of golf.

Hillary and Obama must be seething and as mad as March Hares. Trump was there and they were not.

He certainly seems to be quite the clairvoyant. A gift.

I don’t think it was coincidental that Trump had the press conference scheduled for after the vote. If it had gone against him, he could’ve just said, “oh, well, not my problem”, and focused on the great golf. But he was predicting “Leave” all the way back in March, so he probably placed his bets that it would quite a nice time to pop up in the U.K.!

“The media going apocalyptic is becoming a story of it’s own, for the sheer panic they are in.”

The media voice is merely a reflection of the global power elite that pays them. If the media is apocalyptic, it is in truth the globalist power structure that is going apocalyptic. I expect them to double down fighting back. However, the worm in the west may have forever turned and their usual methods will not have any impact. Where I get worried is when they decide to put their endless resources toward violence and assassination to get their way. That could be a different story altogether.

The evening ministry-of-truth news was singing a different tune - saying how Trump was clueless on a golf course while all sorts of major events (Brexit, markets, etc) swirled around him. Same old MSM crap - Trump is a dolt, while Hitlery can utter "Arf! Arf!" and she is a profound intellectual.

Very perceptive. Another way to state this is that the hand of God moves in mysterious but measured ways.
