Apologies for yet another thread about Trump but i was just curious to see if there was a correlation between Trump supporters and Brexiteers.

Farage is obviously a big supporter of Trump but being pro-Brexit doesn't necessarily mean pro-Farage. (I think there are quite a few Brexiteers who appear to dislike/loathe Trump. My guess is as follows;

1. Anti Trump/Against Brexit
2. Anti Trump/Pro Brexir
3. Pro Trump / Pro Brexit
4. Pro Trump / ANti Brexit

The reaction of Trump supporters to his loss is very similar to that of many of the people who voted Remain.
I wonder if they will try to reverse the result for as long.

Indeed.
As a resident of a small Central European country, but UK citizen, I was very much for Remain. My son's football club has a fantastic new artificial pitch, to complement the grass one, which was mostly funded by the EU (ie Germany and UK). Many of the main roads here are also being upgraded thanks to the EU.

As for Trump, no strong feelings either way. Much the same as for pretty much all foreign leaders.

I don't think I've met a remainer who claimed the vote was rigged and fraudulent and the result itself a lie.

I'm guessing that you were expecting a pro trump/pro brexit correlation. Looks like it isn't there.

Seventeen votes in and the only trump supporters are also pro brexit.

It's what I'd expect from the staunchly anti-globalist, for instance.

Agreed - there should be couldn't care about each one individually. Mine would be don't care about Trump, pro-Brexit.

Yep

We aren't American and the only impact different American presidents have on us is through foreign policy and how their economy is performing.

The main link between Trump and Brexit is the significant amount of people who have become sick of mainstream politics and wanted to mix things up a bit. The constant accusations of being equivalent to a Nazi if you dare to question anything you're not happy with. I think people were sick of it and rebelled. They both come from the same place.

Same here.

The Trumpists and Remainers have a lot in common, mewling and wailing over the result they don't like.

very much one of those arse covering polls. Would have been more accurate at the time of both votes.
Just like nobody in germany was keen on being a nazi if you ask them all after the war. Amazing they got so much done with all that reluctance.
