According to Donald Trump, he won’t soon be known as “Donald Trump,” but rather…

They will soon be calling me MR. BREXIT!

Presumably because Team Trump thinks the polls are way off and people are in for a surprise, just like what happened recently overseas:

Um, NO.

George Washington claimed that honor two centuries ago. https://t.co/9cUON7dKkG

(Br)exit challenge:

Donald Trump is now calling himself "Mr Brexit." What should Hillary’s new nickname be? https://t.co/Tc4Ds4UE9p
