To the Editor:
Could I thank President Obama for coming to Britain and telling us to vote Remain? His exhortations, along with those of other foreign politicians, multimillionaire businessmen and bankers, helped persuade the British people that the wealthy Davos elite was interested in keeping Britain in the European Union for its own political and commercial reasons rather than for the good of the Brits.
No American would tolerate being governed by a group of unelected bureaucrats with laws imposed on them by politicians of other countries. That is why we voted for Leave. The United Kingdom has now become a free, independent nation once again, and we will continue to work and trade with the whole world.
We are pleased that, after the Brexit victory, President Obama said, “The United Kingdom and the European Union will remain indispensable partners of the United States,” which is a welcome change from his comments when he visited here that if we voted to leave, then we would be at the end of the queue to get a trade deal.

Note from KBJ: This isn't about progressivism and conservatism; it's about cosmopolitanism and nationalism. The cosmopolitans (e.g., Barack Obama) lost. Get right with Donald. Let's make America great again.
Note 2 from KBJ: Donald Trump gets it.
