Donald Trump Boasts About Making Money Off British Economic Uncertainty

As the British pound plummeted to a 30-year low following Britons' decision to leave the European Union, Donald Trump made clear that the economic turmoil was good for at least one person: Donald Trump.

Trump arrived in Turnberry, Scotland on Friday to officially open his golf resort there and quickly embarrassed himself by tweeting that Scots were "going wild" over Britain's decision to leave the EU. The majority of Scotland had voted to remain.

Asked about the uncertainty of the pound, Trump responded by pointing out how he stood to benefit from a weaker currency. It's not the first time Trump has boasted about profiting off a weak economy .

“If the pound goes down, more people are coming to Turnberry, frankly,” he said at a press conference . “For traveling and for other things, I think it very well could turn out to be positive.”

Spoken like a true statesman.
