Donald Trump’s first tweet about the Brexit result got shut down immediately
LONDON -- The United Kingdom is in shock after the nation voted to leave the EU in a historic referendum, prompting David Cameron to announce his resignation as Prime Minister.
And, just when you thought this day couldn't get any more dramatic, Donald Trump has shown up in Scotland. Brilliant.
Naturally, Trump has already weighed in with his thoughts on Brexit, and it's safe to say that it didn't go down well. Like, at all.

Trump's excitement, however, was a little misjudged as Scotland actually voted for the UK to *remain* in the EU.
Singer Lily Allen -- and sister of Game of Thrones actor Alfie Allen -- quickly swooped in to check Trump's erroneous statement. And, it was pretty hilarious.

It didn't end there, though. A few others also stepped in to set the record straight.
