I'd say that if the voters were to blame Trump for a Brexit-triggered economic slide, the blame would be well-placed. It was his kind of nationalism that he and others stirred up that led to the Brexit debacle.
There is a small group of cognoscenti who believe that the correlation between the presence of Murdock Media and White Nationalism is not a coincidence, and the steady barrage of pro-right, anti-left punditry has had similar effects in the three countries Murdock dominates: the US, UK and Australia. That makes the Murdock corporate entity a shadow government when the right is in power, and a political attack dog under the left. All three nations have large contingents of anti-immigrant and anti-globalist sentiment, and all share the same hyper-partisanship.
If that prevails over time, those three bulwarks of democracy may transition to something a lot darker. Nothing good can come from that.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
