First Read: Trump Takes a Surreal Victory Lap in Scotland

Consequences of the Brexit vote and the worldwide middle-class revolt

The consequences of Britain leaving the European Union are profound. Consider:
•Global markets are falling;
•British Prime Minister David Cameron is resigning;
•Right-wing politicians in France and the Netherlands are calling to leave the EU;
•Scotland, which overwhelmingly voted to remain, is calling for a second vote of independence;
•And it's all cementing Germany's status (not Britain's) as America's special partner in Europe.

But there is one more important consequence: Worldwide, we are seeing an angry middle class revolting at political elites and institutions. And so much of the anger is being fueled by immigration. In this respect, it reinforces Trump's worldview and overall campaign argument. One more important point: Every action (or inaction) has a reaction, and the United States' and world's decision not to intervene in Syria has reverberated in Britain and Europe
