Presidential candidate Donald Trump on Friday congratulated the UK for voting to assert its independence from the European Union, and encouraged the American people in November to also assert their independence from the “global elite.”

Following the British vote to exit the EU, Trump said the election results marked a shift toward more nationalistic tendencies.

Self-determination is the sacred right of all free people's, and the people of the UK have exercised that right for all the world to see. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 24, 2016

America is proud to stand shoulder-to-shoulder w/a free & ind UK. We stand together as friends, as allies, & as a people w/a shared history. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 24, 2016

“Come November, the American people will have the chance to re-declare their independence,” the Trump campaign said in a statement. “Americans will have a chance to vote for trade, immigration and foreign policies that put our citizens first. They will have the chance to reject today’s rule by the global elite, and to embrace real change that delivers a government of, by and for the people.”

“I hope America is watching, it will soon be time to believe in America again.”

Asked by reporters in Scotland what he thought about the Brexit vote, Trump said the British people “took back control of their country. It’s a great thing.”

Ahead of the vote, Trump had told reporters he was for the Brexit if it meant less bureaucracy for the UK.

“I would personally be more inclined to leave, for a lot of reasons, like having a lot less bureaucracy,” he said in May.

The shock results have led many to predict Trump will be elected president in November.

Republican pollster Frank Luntz said he believed the mass populist uprising happening globally could push Trump into the White House.

“Populism is rising everywhere as people decide that government does not listen and does not care,” said Luntz.

“But this is even more significant, because Britain has never been the source of populist uprisings like this. If Britain can vote itself out of Europe, America can vote itself in for Trump.”

Nigel Farage, the leader of the UK’s Independence Party which played a huge part in mobilizing UK citizens behind the Brexit, also speculated the momentum behind the results could usher in a Trump presidency.

“There is something happening in American politics that is perhaps a bit of a mirror of what’s happening here, a feeling in much of America, that what happens in Washington is too detached and too remote and Trump is cashing in on some of it,” said Farage, adding, “He must have a chance of winning.”

As Infowars has reported, the idea for the European Union globalist superstate came directly out of discussions held at the secretive Bilderberg Group conference in 1955, at which European politicians considered “The necessity to bring the German people into a common European market as quickly as possible.”
