Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump on Friday welcomed the vote by UK residents to leave the European Union, saying they "took back control of their country", according to Reuters.

The presumptive Republican nominee, who is in Scotland, was asked about the British vote and replied, "They took back control of their country. It's a great thing."

"People are angry, all over the world, they're angry," added Trump. "They're angry over borders, they're angry over people coming into the country and taking over. Nobody even knows who they are. They're angry about many, many things."

Asked if he meant in the United States or United Kingdom, Trump said, "There's plenty of other places. This will not be the last."

Before the vote Trump had said he would be inclined to leave the EU and, on Friday he told reporters, "I said this was going to happen and I think that it's a great thing."

Trump has exchanged insults with British Prime Minister David Cameron, who supported staying in the EU and said following the vote that he would resign by October.

“But I have a question - and not that I don’t think Brexit is a good thing anyway - but didn’t a common market like the EU diminish the historical reasons for war?”

While that certainly was the intent, and it did work well for a while, having a common market is a lot different than having to live under a foreign, unelected, unaccountable, left-wing dictatorship based in Brussels.

In other words, what was to be a trading block was taken to the next level, and that’s when people started saying enough is enough...as Britain has said, and other people in other countries are also saying.
