Three months before he won the 2016 U.S. presidential election, Donald Trump gave himself a new nickname: Mr. Brexit. After the nation voted to break away from the rest of Europe, Trump appeared at Turnberry, his golf course in Scotland, and commended the Brits who took back their country. He later said Brexit was a great advantage for [the] UK. But, in true Trumpian fashion, Brexit wasnt great for Trump personally.
