Yes, BREXIT was all about Trump's side versus Obama's side.  From a US perspective, Briton leaving the EU is bad for the US and global economies, so Obama, as the US president, rightly supported a remain vote.  From a UK perspective, the people aren't concerned about protecting the US economy.  They are concerned about handing over their sovereign rights to decision makers in Brussels, over whom they have no control.  [b]They are concerned about Brussels regulating their businesses[/b] and their immigration policy.  They couldn't  care less what Trump and Obama think.[/quote]

I generally agree with you here, but aren't the Brexit supporters fooling themselves regarding the bolded? If British manufacturers want to export to Europe, they will still have to meet EU regulations. Now, they just won't have a say into what those regulations are. There could be an irony regarding immigration in that if the British economy suffers due to Brexit, Brits will have a more difficult time moving in search of better jobs.
