U.S. President Donald Trump boasted before the world and British Prime Minister Theresa May on Friday that he’d predicted the Brexit decision at his Turnberry golf resort in Scotland the day before the historic vote.
It was one of several of Trump’s “towering, easily debunked lies” during his appearance in the U.K., The Guardian said.
“As you remember, I was opening Turnberry the day before Brexit,” Trump recounted, as you can hear in the video above.
I was cutting a ribbon for the opening of Turnberry — you know they totally did a whole renovation, it is beautiful — the day before the Brexit vote,” Trump recalled.
The media reported — and Trump’s own tweets confirmed — that he arrived in Scotland on Friday morning, June 24, 2016.
@realDonaldTrump says he came to Turnberry the day before Brexit and he told everyone that he thought Brexit would happen.
Just saying, @StephGrisham45, your own tweet from June 24, 2016 says that Trump arrived then (the day after Brexit): https://t.co/rguWtdis8c pic.twitter.com/bRtI3GgpNb — Ellie Hall (@ellievhall) July 13, 2018. »
