“When the pound is down, people come to Turnberry”, Trump said Friday, referring to his Scottish golf resort.

“At a time when the world looks to the United States for steady leadership, Donald Trump once again proved two truths about his candidacy – that he is temperamentally unfit to be president of the United States and that he is in it for no one but himself”, Sullivan said.
Hope Hicks, a Trump campaign spokeswoman, added, “Nothing’s changed”.
In Scotland to visit one of his golf courses, Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee, embraced the vote as vindication for his own platform of robust nationalism and immigration control. In the wake of the Orlando nightclub shooting, he said he would impose such a ban on Muslims coming from countries linked to Islamic terrorism.
“Every president is tested by world events but Donald Trump thinks about how he can profit from them”, a narrator says. “I think places like Scotland and England, I think you’re going to see a lot of activity. I’ll tell you who has endorsed me, the people of the United States are endorsing me, that’s what relevant to me”, Trump replied.
Even without the details, it appeared to mark quite a shift from his previous written-down position of “a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States”.
Meanwhile, he told CNN that Muslims from “terror countries” may be allowed in as long as they are carefully vetted.
He said the centre-left and centre-right needed to “rediscover radical, powerful answers in a climate driven by anger… a revolt against what is seen as established wisdom, but what is actually people making hard decisions in hard circumstances”. The vote had an immediate impact on the United States race, with Trump hailing the result as a triumph of nationalism and Democrat Hillary Clinton warning of the risks it posed to global economic security.
The day began with the executive vice president of Trump’s golf course saying that Trump would love to take advantage of the weather and give reporters a tour – but that it would not be an opportunity for them to ask questions. Trump called the reporter a “nasty, nasty guy”.
“Great surveillance and vigilance must be adhered to”, said Trump in an statement provided to CNN.
Neighbours whose properties border the estate have raised the flag in a symbol of opposition and solidarity due to Trump’s disparaging remarks about Mexican people and promise to build a wall on Mexico’s border with the US. It should remind many voters of a charge effectively leveled against Trump by Sen.
After Trump first said no foreign Muslims should enter the U.S., the Associated Press interviewed dozens of the candidate’s supporters.
Trump said this week that he hadn’t closely followed the so-called Brexit campaign but he supported the “Leave” movement.

Trump responded: “Well, there’s always turmoil, no matter where you go, no matter what you do”. “People are angry, all over the world, people, they’re angry”.
