Danial Hannan is the latest brexiteer to claim that Trump's victory in the US and brexit are not at all connected (HERE) when it is obvious they are inextricably linked.
Both were driven by people who are unhappy with their lot but cannot accept it is anything to do with them. Brexiteers blame the EU and immigrants while Trump blamed immigrants, Mexicans, the Chinese and virtually everybody except the people of the USA.
They, like us, have problems but they are all home made and we shouldn't think anyone else is responsible. This is exactly what happened in Germany in the 1930s. Sooner or later, on both sides of the Atlantic, people will see the solutions are all in their own hands and always were.
Also they think Trump will be good for brexit but others doubt an isolationist can be anything but disastrous for world trade (HERE) and everything else. Crispin Blunt says it will help in the negotiations because we have the largest armed forces in Europe - as if we would survice 5 minutes against Russia.
