Is Mr. Trump Really Mr. Brexit?

As Republican Presidential nominee Donald Trump (R-NY) took on a third campaign manager in as many months, he assumed a new image.  On Fox and Friends, Trump anointed himself "Mr. Brexit".




A day did not pass before a primary champion of the Brexit Leave movement, UK MEP Daniel Hannan, disputed Trump's claim.





This leads casual observers to wonder if Mr. Trump is really Mr. Brexit.  For those who dig deeper, the question really is what Trump meant.  

• If Trump sought to cast himself as the "comeback kid" who defied the polls, that may be credible.  

• If he sought to associate the Trump campaign with the triumph of the working class over the elites, there might be some parallel.  

• If Trump sought to compare the Leave Movement with his form of populist anti-free trade nationalism, this is a dubious nexus.
