Brexit was the UK shooting itself in the foot.
We're about to see what happens after the USA has just shot itself in both feet.

It’s like the Brits who voted for Brexit. It was more about their hatred of foreigners. They shot themselves in the foot and trashed their own economy for it. All while the billionaires lapped it up. They still haven’t recovered. Exercising their hatred was worth it to them. Apparently Still is.
