Question Time: Man SLAMS Obama for Brexit reaction
Labour’s Yvette Cooper used the panel to claim Britain does not “have shared democratic values” with the future President, while the SNP’s Tasmina Ahmed-Sheikh, who has previously called for Trump to be banned from Britain, described him as “inconsistent and unpredictable”.
The audience member interrupted Mrs Ahmed-Sheikh as she was sowing fear over a Trump presidency, calling out “the British economy would be better under Trump”.
But when the camera turned to him, he let rip at the “epidemic” of career politicians – and the panel for their fearmongering stance on Donald Trump after President Obama said he would punish the country for Brexit.

He said: “The world needs money but looking at the last President - the ex-President shall we say - Barack Obama, the last words that he had to say about this country was ‘on your bike you get to the end of the queue’, so I don’t see much there for that President.
“Can we be positive? I didn’t want Trump. I wasn’t sure about Clinton, I’ll tell you.”
He added that he was “still not sure about career politicians in this country” describing it as “an epidemic a bad one” and slated them as “people who have never had a proper job”.

It comes after Nigel Farage said the election of the Republican candidate presented a golden opportunity for Britain.
The Ukip leader told the Telegraph: “Trump likes the UK, talks about his mother’s Scottish birth, owns golf courses here and is entirely comfortable with our culture.
"More importantly still, he supported Brexit and he says post-Brexit Britain will be at the front of the queue when it comes to trade relationships.
“What a pleasant change this will make from Obama and Clinton who have looked down and sneered at us."
