ABERDEENSHIRE, Scotland (AP) — Donald Trump is trying to play down Americans’ fears about the possible financial fallout from the United Kingdom’s vote to leave the European Union.
The U.S. stock market and global markets plunged in the wake of Thursday’s “leave” vote, and that’s led to worries about Americans’ retirement plans and savings.
Trump was visiting one of his golf resorts on Saturday, outside Aberdeen, Scotland, and he offered this assessment for his countrymen: “This shouldn’t even affect them, frankly, if it’s done properly, if we had proper leadership.”
The presumptive Republican presidential nominee later told reporters that the stock market’s fall on Friday was due to Wall Street’s worries about President Barack Obama’s economic policies and the U.S. debt.

He has NO IDEA how interconnected world economies work. Which is why he thinks he can just force all the factories back here. No idea that funds hold international bonds and stocks all dependent on international trade deals like the EU.
He is too stupid to put in charge.
LOL! The Dow dropped 600 points,and the world economy lost 2 trillion dollars overnight.
The one thing The Brexit Vote would have in common with a Trump Presidency is instantaneous buyers remorse
The Wharton School must be very proud of its most famous graduate.
