Donald Trump Will Struggle to Reinvent Himself as ‘Mr. Brexit’

Donald Trump … On Wednesday night, he introduced a surprise guest to crowds in Jackson, Mississippi—one Nigel Farage, former leader of the United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP).

In sharing a stage with Farage, Trump is seeking to channel the rebellious spirit of the British voters who rejected the E.U. He apparently sees parallels between his own campaign and that of the Brexiteers, figuring he too can overcome the polls and the disapproval of the establishment to win a historic victory. Last week, he even told his Twitter followers “they will soon be calling me MR BREXIT.”

Those parallels do exist. The winds that powered Trump to victory in the Republican Party primaries also helped steer Britain away from the E.U. in June. Distrust of the establishment. A desire to retake control from elites. A fear of a changing country. For some, a sense that change—any change—is better than the status quo. http://time.com/4465754/donald-trump-nigel-farage-mr-brexit/

So, Donald Trump is supposed to possibly be the USA’s “Mr. Brexit.” Well, that is to be seen. But he was the most known vocal USA leader who supported the Brexit before it the vote happened.

Now, while Nigel Farage and Donald Trump are essentially appealing to nationalism and away from globalism, others have wondered if the Brexit vote means the end of the quest for European unity–no, it does not mean that.

Here are some comments from the economic advisor Jim Rickards:

Brexit is NOT the End of the EU

I do not believe that Brexit means that the European Union is going to break up. Or that it spells the end of the euro as a currency. I’ve been very bullish on Europe and the Euro in the past. …

Now the important thing to understand is the European Union is not primarily an economic project. …

The way to think about the European Union, ask yourself, “Does the political will exist to keep it together?” Clearly, in the U.K., it didn’t. They left, but I could write a separate book on why the U.K. was never a good fit with the E.U. to begin with. Look, if the Brexit had been the Netherlands or Italy or Spain or someone like that, I would have a much more pessimistic or dire outlook for Europe, but it wasn’t. It was the U.K., and the U.K. has always been different. …

Germany, France, Spain,Netherlands, Italy and others large countries have a legal system goes all the way back to the end of the Roman Empire, or to code of Justinian, Charlemagne, through to the Napoleonic code in the late 18th, early 19th century. It’s what’s called a code-based system of law.

Contrast that with the U.K., which has the common law, and the common law is what was exported to the United States, Australia, Canada, New Zealand and sort of the English-speaking world. Common law and code law are completely different. It’s not just that the rules are different, it’s the mindset is different. …

Europe is solid. The U.K. leaving is a big deal economically. It’s a big deal for the U.K., and it will cause aftershocks, which we’re watching. One of the aftershocks will not be the breakup of the European Union. It will not be the end of the Euro. In fact, I expect the Euro to get stronger from here, again going back to the Shanghai Accord.

If you’re asking if there will be crises, yes, there will be crises. …

My forecast for Europe; there will be crises. There will absolutely be crises, coming in the Italian banking system, probably Deutsche Bank. We’re probably going to be hearing more about Portugal. We’re probably going to be hearing about Greece again, because Greece never goes away. I’m not denying any of that. That will come, that will cause volatility. When somebody looks at that and says, “A-ha, Europe’s falling apart,” don’t believe it. http://dailyreckoning.com/rickards-brexit-is-not-end-of-eu/

The Bible is clear that Europe will unify, but still have problems:

41 Whereas you saw the feet and toes, partly of potter’s clay and partly of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; yet the strength of the iron shall be in it, just as you saw the iron mixed with ceramic clay. 42 And as the toes of the feet were partly of iron and partly of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong and partly fragile. 43 As you saw iron mixed with ceramic clay, they will mingle with the seed of men; but they will not adhere to one another, just as iron does not mix with clay. (Daniel 2:41-43)

Brexit is an issue, but the UK was not one of the ‘ten toes’ that Daniel referred to. Europe, as Jim Rickards pointed out, will have crises.

As far as the ten toes, these seem to be the same as the ten kingdoms that come into being when Europe will reorganize as discussed in the Book of Revelation:

12 “The ten horns which you saw are ten kings who have received no kingdom as yet, but they receive authority for one hour as kings with the beast. 13 These are of one mind, and they will give their power and authority to the beast. (Revelation 17:12-13)

The late Herbert W. Armstrong was of the view that a banking problem of some sort would lead to the final formation of the European Beast power. In a sermon on July 7, 1984, he stated:

And I can see now, the event that is going to trigger the formation of the reunification in Europe; the resurrection of the medieval Holy Roman Empire that we’ve been looking forward to that is prophesied to come…

But I believe that some event is going to happen suddenly just like out a blue sky that is going to shock the whole world and is going to cause the nations in Europe to realize they must unite!

It would seem that a combination of economic and immigrant issues will be factors in triggering the rise of the prophesied European Beast power.

The Brexit vote, as Jim Rickards properly pointed out, will not change that.

Neither will Donald Trump. Actually his presence has tended to galvanize some in Europe against the USA–and that will happen (Daniel 11:39).

Forbes’ Brexit Monster is the Beast of Revelation Various ones have been properly convinced that there is a plan for a European superstate.
