Leguizamo's choice of an comparison was strange, but can't dispute his sentiment.
The global implications of the Brexit vote are just beginning to be felt. And nowhere will the outcome of Britain’s historic vote to leave the European Union be more closely scrutinised than in New York City.
As the Stock Exchange opens on Wall Street, a few miles away in Brooklyn dozens of the most brilliant minds in the Democratic Party will gather at the Hillary Clinton for President HQ to work out where the vote leaves their candidate.
The immediate answer is: in grave danger.
With the referendum proving, once again, the utter contempt for mainstream politicians felt by the white, working classes of virtually all Western countries, the prospect of a President Trump has never seemed more likely.

[h=6]- JUNE 24, 2016 -[/h][h=1]BREXIT IS PROOF THAT TRUMP WILL BE THE NEXT PRESIDENT[/h]Daily Mail
As Donald Trump flew into Scotland today after the UK's seismic break with the European Union, parallels have been drawn with the anti-immigration message that led to Brexit and his rise to presumptive Republican presidential candidate.
Many have pointed out the similarities between Britain's decision to leave the EU and Trump's campaign - and believe it is an indication of how Americans will vote on November 8, which could see Trump in the White House.
The Donald's arrival in the UK will be seen by many as a meeting of minds - two worlds colliding with shared views including a disgruntled electorate; lost national pride; isolationism; and the issue of immigration.
…
And today, he promised close ties between the U.S. and UK if he becomes President.
'Brexit is further proof that Donald J Trump will be the next President of the United States,' wrote Broderick Greer on Twitter.
Paul Harris added that Americans should learn a lesson from the result in Britain.
'If you think Trump can't win you are lazy, complacent and very dangerous,' he warned.

[h=6]- JUNE 24, 2016 -[/h][h=1]TRUMP IN SCOTLAND: PERFECT TIMING FOR A BUSINESS TRIP TO THE UK[/h]The Hill
On the day the British people voted to leave the EU, the Republican Party's presumptive nominee for president took a business trip to Scotland.
The idea that the president should be experienced in business is as old as America. George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison and James Monroe were all farmer/planters. Abraham Lincoln started a general store…
The Constitution requires that the president be a “Citizen.” When our country was founded, the term “citizen”… meant a “townsman,” a person without rank or noble birth who had to work a trade or a business for a living. The ideal American president, in other words, is someone with an honest job who sees the public fisc as a burden to manage and not as money to spend.
It is a good thing for a presidential candidate to have a business… Someone who has never created a job, never met a payroll, and never built anything must bear a heavy burden of proof to convince citizens that she should run the economy.
Who is more likely to be a corrupt puppet of special interests, a business leader who takes time from running for president to reopen a golf course in Scotland, or a politician who received millions of dollars from banks, corporations and lobbyists for doing — as her supporters keep telling us — absolutely nothing at all to earn it?
Every step Trump takes in Scotland…is a reminder that he is a practical businessman who understands the economy, that he is too rich to be bought for favors, and that the world knows he puts America first. He is exactly the president we need.

[h=6]- JUNE 24, 2016 -[/h][h=1]DONALD J. TRUMP STATEMENT REGARDING BRITISH REFERENDUM ON E.U. MEMBERSHIP[/h]The people of the United Kingdom have exercised the sacred right of all free peoples. They have declared their independence from the European Union and have voted to reassert control over their own politics, borders and economy. A Trump Administration pledges to strengthen our ties with a free and independent Britain, deepening our bonds in commerce, culture and mutual defense. The whole world is more peaceful and stable when our two countries – and our two peoples – are united together, as they will be under a Trump Administration.
Come November, the American people will have the chance to re-declare their independence. Americans will have a chance to vote for trade, immigration and foreign policies that put our citizens first. They will have the chance to reject today’s rule by the global elite, and to embrace real change that delivers a government of, by and for the people. I hope America is watching, it will soon be time to believe in America again.

Last night UK voters shocked the world.
I'm sure you saw the news. Voters in the United Kingdom chose to leave the flawed and failing European Union and reassert control over their borders, politics and economy,taking a brave stand for freedom and independence. It's been dubbed "Brexit" in the media.
These voters stood up for their nation – they put the United Kingdom first, and they took their country back.
With your help, we're going to do the exact same thing on Election Day 2016 here in the United States of America.
I am fighting to upend the failed Big Government status quo in Washington, so that Americans can start believing in the future of our country again. And if elected President of the United States, I will strengthen our ties with a free and independent Britain.
Will you stand with me at this critical time?
Yesterday UK voters exercised their right to self-determination for all the world to see. And today, our friends across the Atlantic are looking forward to a return to greater freedom and a better future for their children and grandchildren.
Voters here face the same choice on Election Day.
The political elites didn't see this coming. Wall Street and the media didn’t have a clue. And they want to believe just as badly that we cannot win in November.
Let's send another shockwave around the world. Let's take back our country from the corrupt career politicians and put Americans first. Let’s re-declare our independence.
Please stand with me today to reclaim freedom from the corrupt Washington establishment and Make America Great Again.
Thank you.
Best Wishes,
Donald J. Trump
Candidate for President of the United States

After a 10-day stretch in which Trump found himself rebuked by Republican leaders,plummeting in polls and firing his much-maligned campaign manager, news broke that, according to public filings, his campaign now had about $1.3 million in the bank.
This is awesome if you’re running for a House seat in, say, Maine. It’s slightly less awesome if you’re running for president.
How much less awesome? About 40 times less than what Hillary Clinton has at her disposal — not counting outside groups that have been revving up on her behalf for at least a year. So, yeah, a lot less awesome.
This really is something, considering that all through the primaries Trump bragged about how he was so rich you wouldn’t believe and how he was the only guy on stage who didn’t need to ask for money.
I’ll tell you what it looks like when a seriously rich guy gets serious about winning. When Michael Bloomberg won a third term as New York’s mayor in 2009, he spent about $102 million, or $183 per vote. At that rate, had Bloomberg decided to seek the presidency as an independent, he would have had to spend about $12 billion.
And you know what? He would have, too. Because Bloomberg is not a man who plays around. He has cash and uses it.
But if Bloomberg is the John D. Rockefeller of modern politics, then Trump is its P.T. Barnum — a master of spectacle and illusion. His billions are tied up, spread around, whatever other euphemisms for “not real” you want to employ.
This, I’m guessing, is why he doesn’t want you to see his tax returns. Trump would be happy to shout from the top of Trump Tower that he hasn’t paid a dime in taxes — that fits his narrative of being smarter than everyone else and knowing the flaws in the system that need fixing.
[FONT="]What he’s less enthused to have you know, perhaps, is that he really hasn’t earned much, either. His vast wealth exists on paper, his lifestyle sustained by credit. Kind of like the government.
I’ve long argued that money is a vastly overrated resource in presidential politics, generally. There’s certainly a threshold a candidate has to cross in order to be competitive, and safe to say it’s higher than $1.3 million. But whatever that threshold is — let’s say it’s $300 million — the return on every dollar you raise after that is probably marginal, compared with other factors in a campaign.
Just look at what happened in the primaries. Bernie Sanders raised more than $200 million and essentially matched Hillary Clinton in spending, and if you’re going strictly by votes cast in primary states, he got crushed anyway.
Meanwhile, while Trump relied largely on the generosity of cable networks, Jeb Bush’s L.A.-based super-PAC blew through more than $100 million and impressed pretty much no one. That had to make the producers of “Tomorrowland” feel better.
Sure, Trump needs to narrow his fundraising gap with Clinton. But money just isn’t as big or as predictable a part of the equation as we make it out to be — and by “we” I mean the journalists who cover campaigns as if they belonged on ESPN and the professionals who profit from campaign payrolls.
That said, if we step back from the fundraising minutiae for a moment, we can derive at least three pretty relevant insights on the state of Trump’s candidacy from his political penury. And none of them is likely to lift Republican insiders out of their growing despondency.
First, Trump is now in something of a box, strategically. Why? Because his campaign, as I noted, has been propelled to this point by free media exposure, and it’s clear he’ll have to rely more on dominating the news cycle and the cable shows this fall than on traditional advertising.
The problem here is that, in order to maintain his title as the Most Talked About Man in America, Trump has to give us something to talk about, as he did last week after the Orlando shootings. He has to keep sending outrageous tweets and hurling reckless insults, because that’s what gets the media machine all ginned up.
Which means Trump couldn’t really “pivot” toward a general election even if he wanted to and had the capacity. As long as he has to rely on free exposure to compete with Clinton, Republican leaders should probably relinquish all hope of ever seeing a more responsible, electable version of their nominee.
Second, Trump has just about wasted the small window he had, after the contested primaries and before the convention, to reassure Republican influencers and consolidate their support. If contributors weren’t moved to invest in Trump before he called the president a terrorist sympathizer and renewed his calls to ostracize Muslims, they’re probably not bursting with enthusiasm now.
Of course, the easiest solution for Trump would be to free up some of his own cash and spend it, as he’s already threatened to do. But this leads me to my third takeaway, which is that he still doesn’t seem all that invested in himself.
Saying that Trump moved to “reorganize” his campaign this week, as many news reports did, is like saying NASA has a plan to “recolonize” Mars. You can’t reorganize something that was never really organized to begin with, and Trump’s so-called campaign is really just a small project in his business empire, populated by a handful of junior executives and based entirely on personal celebrity.
I was clearly wrong about Trump’s viability as a candidate deep into the primaries, but I don’t think I was wrong when I said his presidential bid was mostly an exercise in brand promotion that somehow went awry. What the financials are telling us — along with Trump’s reluctance to build any real campaign apparatus or to calibrate his own rhetoric — is that the man still sees this whole enterprise principally as theater.
Trump wants to run for president, all right, but my guess is he still wants to be president about as much as I want to be on “Dancing With the Stars.” (Not that it wouldn’t be nice to be asked.)
And that right there is the real problem for Republicans who hope they never have to refer to the Clintons as “42 and 45.” They’ve allowed their party to become an elaborate prop in a tasteless stunt, used by a man who to this point shows very little seriousness of purpose.
It’s not that Trump can’t win with a lot less money than his opponent. It’s that he’d probably have a lot more money if he were actually running to win.

More incredible news for the Donald Trump juggernaut!

What he’s less enthused to have you know, perhaps, is that he really hasn’t earned much, either. His vast wealth exists on paper, his lifestyle sustained by credit. Kind of like the government.
Let’s leave all that aside for now, though, and focus on the more complicated question of whether Trump’s money problems really matter all that much, and why.
I’ve long argued that money is a vastly overrated resource in presidential politics, generally. There’s certainly a threshold a candidate has to cross in order to be competitive, and safe to say it’s higher than $1.3 million. But whatever that threshold is — let’s say it’s $300 million — the return on every dollar you raise after that is probably marginal, compared with other factors in a campaign.

If contributors weren’t moved to invest in Trump before he called the president a terrorist sympathizer and renewed his calls to ostracize Muslims, they’re probably not bursting with enthusiasm now.
Trump’s best hope for building up his bank account rests with small-dollar donors. If I were Trump, I’d use my convention speech to advertise the website or even a toll-free line where people can send him 20 bucks. Sure, it’s absurdly crass, but come on, he’s set a pretty high bar there already.
Of course, the easiest solution for Trump would be to free up some of his own cash and spend it, as he’s already threatened to do. But this leads me to my third takeaway, which is that he still doesn’t seem all that invested in himself.

:toast:Threatening people too much insults their intelligence,” the United Kingdom Independence Party head said.“A lot of people in Britain said, ‘How dare the American president come here and tell us what to do?’ ” Farage continued on Sirius XM’s “Breitbart News Daily,” citing Obama’s U.K. trip in April.
“It backfired. We got an Obama-Brexit bounce, because people do not want foreign leaders telling them how to think and vote.”
