Brexit isn’t what’s dragging Britain down
In countless American minds, Brexit and President Donald Trump are linked, and not in a good way.The term Brexit is shorthand for “British exit.” The vote of more than 17 million U.K. citizens on a referendum to leave the European Union and Trump’s shock election to the presidency both happened in the same year, 2016. The two events have come to be seen as part of the same demotic wave, pushing against the established international order, which has come to be called populism.Different issues were at play at those ballot queues, several months and an ocean apart. Trump collapsed all of the issues when he went to Scotland for a golf course opening not long after the vote.Trump, still a private citizen, said in a press conference that U.K. voters had “taken back their independence,” and he saw a “big parallel” brewing in other nations.
