Cheers Brexit vote from Scotland: "They took their country back"
Arriving at his Turnberry golf resort in Scotland the morning after the Brexit vote, Trump cheered the result as a "great thing," declaring that the British people had "taken back control of their country." He drew parallels between the Brexit sentiment and his own campaign, tweeting "They took their country back, just like we will take America back." His comments highlighted his alignment with global nationalist and anti-globalist movements, even as he awkwardly celebrated the breakup of the EU while standing in Scotland (which voted to Remain).
