@DonaldJTrumpJr you are no friend of Britain or democracy.
Referencing that time when his father told Theresa May to "sue the EU", Trump Jr said:
But Mrs May ignored advice from my father, and ultimately, a process that should have taken only a few short months has become a years-long stalemate, leaving the British people in limbo.
Trump Jr., whose net worth is reputed to be $200m and who is also the vice president of his father's business empire, has added that the Brexit deadlock was an example of “establishment elites trying to subvert the will of the people". He said:
(But) the battle for independence isn’t over; it has only just begun.
The elites will not surrender their power lightly, and we shouldn’t expect them to. But we need to keep fighting to reclaim it for the people.

Donald Trump Jr. telling Britain our democracy is dead. Is it a joke? The same Trump Jr. who met a "Kremlin-linked lawyer" at Trump Tower in June 2016 after he was promised dirt on Hillary Clinton. @DonaldJTrumpJr you are no friend of Britain or democracy.

Telegraph are running an opinion piece from Donald Trump Jr that is *full* of the sort of tropes/code words beloved of conspiracy theorists and the far right. Looks more like something that should be on Infowars rather than a UK newspaper. A bit worrying.
Jr Needs to go sit in the corner and STFU
Worth noting that some say terms like "global elite" / "global power brokers" can be dogwhistle code for antisemitic conspiracy theories.
