I think Faux has got it all ass-backwards, but then they almost always do.

If the stock market tanks Trump will be elected. People are morons and they will cling to the first asshole who points the blame at immigrants and foreigners.

It's going to be a big mess and by the time our election rolls around, it's going to look pretty chaotic

I think there will be a shakeup of the U.S. markets for the next few weeks and then they will stabilize. The process of decoupling Britain from the EU will be long and complex and will be disruptive for Britain, but much less so for us. Those who voted in favor of it will soon see some unintended consequences and might regret their votes, and we in the US will see those problems developing as well. I hardly think the complications that will ensue are going to favor Trump.

It won't happen overnight and every few weeks something will derail moving forward in unexpected ways.

is Obama's policies.

It was a mistake for Obama to go there and give his opinion - it did more harm than good, IMO. But I can tell you nobody was thinking about Obama or his policies when they chose their stance on Brexit.

The election is far enough away and Brexit is a multi-year process so there wil be a short-term minor dip in financial markets and we'll recover from that (and more) long before people are going to the polls.

Obama was speaking on behave of US interests. Fox is just speaking on behalf of Murdoch.
