Trump equates Brexit to US polls

After it was officially confirmed that Britain had voted for the 'leave' campaign to exit the European Union, Trump hailed the decision and said that it was historic.

"I think it's a great thing that happened, an amazing vote, very historic. We're very happy," he said from Scotland.

"People are angry. All over the world they're angry. We're doing very well in the US and essentially the same thing has happened in the US. They are angry over borders, they are angry over people coming into the country," he said when asked why people voted for Brexit.

He hoped that the Americans were watching the British 'reassert control over their own politics.'
