Tune in to Meet the Press with Chuck Todd, Sundays on NBC News Trump Takes a Surreal Victory Lap in Scotland Fri, 24 Jun 2016 12:45:00 GMT From NBC's Chuck Todd, Mark Murray and Carrie Dann In what has to be one of the more surreal press conferences in U.S. presidential-campaign history, Donald Trump praised the British vote to leave the European Union in a place -- Scotland -- that overwhelming voted to remain; he said the falling British pound would be good for business; and he touted the opening of his new golf course in Scotland. "I love to see people to take their country back," he said. Referring to Brexit backers' opposition to immigration, Trump added that "people who you don't want … you are not going to have take." He said that Britain's declining currency was good for business, including at his new golf course. "If the pound goes down, they're going to do more business." But before he answered reporters' questions, Trump trumpeted the opening of his new golf course in Turnberry, Scotland. As the BBC's Katty Kay remarked on MSNBC's "Morning Joe," it was stunning Trump would make a pitch for Trump industries on a day like today, when global markets are reeling and much of Britain (and Europe) is in shock. One of Hillary Clinton's greatest weaknesses is the perception that she has used her political standing to make money. But Trump overshadows that when he takes his presidential campaign to Scotland -- the day after the Brexit vote -- to christen a new resort/golf course and talk about how a falling currency is good for business.
