My feeling about Brexit was not anger at anybody else, it was anger at myself for not realising what was going on. I thought that all those Ukip people and those National Fronty people were in a little bubble. Then I thought: ‘Fuck, it was us, we were in the bubble, we didn’t notice it.’ There was a revolution brewing and we didn’t spot it because we didn’t make it. We expected we were going to be the revolution.”
This Sean Spicer speech is amusing, he looks like he's about to start crying.
We invented science. Without us they would still be living in mud huts. Let's tell it like it is.

America, You Look Like an Arab Country Right Now
Let’s start at the beginning. During the campaign we were surprised to learn of the influence that the head of the American mukhabarat (state security, i.e. your FBI) can wield over the election process, simply by choosing to pursue a certain line of investigation. As you may know, this has been a constant feature of our politics since independence. Our surprise turned to astonishment when we started to witness the blossoming feud between the then-president-elect and the American mukhabarat, another important feature of Arab politics.

In his cia speech, Trump also said it didn't rain at his inauguration when one of the things noted by everyone who watched was the fact that it started to rain the moment he started speaking.
It's weird, I'm used to being the one who gets accused of splitting hairs, equivocating and whatnot, but to me it's pretty clear that the meaningful essence of what Trump said is "Mexicans are rapists", and - crucially - that's what his supporters heard. (Although given some of the other things he's said, and the array of accusations made against him by a number of women, one has to wonder if he even thinks being a rapist is a particularly bad thing.)
