For Trump and Brexit voters, echoes of the same frustrations

“So that is a contribution” by Trump, Steve Mnuchin said, referring to a series of loans made over the past year.”Voter antipathy toward Clinton on the Democratic side is as bad as it is toward Trump on the Republican side”, he said. To be replaced instantly by the spirit-plummeting news that Britain, my birth country, had voted to leave the European Union.

“No one should be confused about America’s commitment to Europe”.

“The differences between Secretary Clinton and Donald Trump in terms of temperament, in terms of judgment, in terms of values couldn’t be more stark”.

Several Democrats cautioned against drawing too many lessons from the Brexit vote, saying mass immigration and economic malaise were bigger problems in Britain and the European Union than in the United States.

“We believe that American working families are going to see the results of the vote today and really ask themselves whether they’re looking for economic uncertainty, risk, unsafe propositions”, or want someone who can be a steady hand at the wheel of the economy, Sullivan told reporters on a conference call.

Paul Manafort, campaign manager for Trump, rejected what he called a “phony” charge by Clinton and said Trump was more in sync with the global economic frustration exemplified by the Brexit vote. Although many of Trump’s political events come together at the last minute, this event was perhaps his most disorganized yet. Manafort did reveal the Trump campaign will be flexing its muscle and focusing its’ muscle in 16 battleground states in the upcoming months. He’ll probably lose in November.

If there was one overriding theme of the Leave campaign, it was anger over the antidemocratic nature of the European Union.

Dmitry Kiselyov claimed British voters overcame a succession of dirty tricks to free themselves from Brussels, with sanctions against Russian Federation likely to weaken. Britain has a long and noble tradition of parliamentary supremacy. And he seemed keen to dance on the metaphorical grave of British Prime Minister David Cameron, who had just resigned after losing the referendum vote. He has described the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation defense pact with European democracies as “obsolete”. While she is backing away now, her support for free trade agreements has done little to support local economies.

In Los Angeles, Samuel L Jackson urged American voters not to be “tricked like they got tricked in London” as he was honoured at the Black Entertainment Television (BET) Awards. At the time, it appeared that Trump was expanding his ban to include more people, not limiting its scope.

Never mind that immigrants add more to a country than they receive, in the United Kingdom and in the US.

Brexit was also, like Trump’s campaign, a revolt against an establishment out of touch with the struggles of ordinary, working-class citizens. “He has changed things as he has learned more”. They’ve focused on arguments that foreign migrants are taking natives’ jobs, using excessive public services, and committing crimes.

Democratic operative Lynda Tran said that if US voters are indeed seeking a broad political overhaul in November, Clinton will be “at a major disadvantage”.

Campaign spokeswoman Hope Hicks did not respond to multiple requests for comment about the campaign’s hiring, but former adviser Barry Bennett downplayed any staffing challenging, suggesting the campaign should be able to double its staff by the party’s national convention next month.

Mitch McConnell said that he was encouraged recently when Trump became more disciplined on the campaign trail.

The dramatic voiceover in the ad finishes: “In a volatile world, the last thing we need is a volatile president”. Transatlantic sentiment or no, Trump is still a candidate whose negatives are at 70 percent, who is even more toxic to Hispanic and black voters and who faces an electorate that is far less white than Great Britain’s.

The Remain campaign enjoyed the broad support of business leaders, academic experts, and party leaders. The risk that the British economy might tank could put the Trump project at risk. This theme was echoed by most prominent business leaders. They voted to leave anyway.

“Today, with the presidential candidate Donald J. Trump and others like him spewing hate speech, prejudice is reaching new levels”, wrote Mr. Anzari, whose family is Muslim. The prominent conservative magazine National Review devoted an entire issue to making the case against him.

And Trump has been doing all he can to make them angrier by peppering his observations with outlandish exaggeration.
