Great Britain, you may have heard, has got a problem on its hands.

While Britain’s message is undoubtedly clear — that the EU is, in fact, not its cup of tea — on the same side of the pond, presumptive Republican presidential nominee and at-large blowhard Donald Trump tweeted a perplexing one:

Twitter came to correct him with a quickness:



It’s the cherry atop one of the most ill-timed foreign trips a presidential nominee has ever taken in American history, which doesn’t even begin to explain the lunacy of why Trump’s even out there in the first place: a ribbon-cutting ceremony for a golf course he built that’s reported to have lost millions.

Bloody hell.
