On Friday’s NBC Today, co-host Matt Lauer observed that Britain’s vote to leave the European Union “would appear in the short term...[to be] a victory for Donald Trump and his political world view over Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama and their political world view.” He turned to Meet the Press moderator Chuck Todd and wondered: “Does Donald Trump get a bump out of this?”

Todd wouldn’t go that far but did issue a warning to his liberal media colleagues: “I don't know if he gets a bump out of it, but it is a reminder why we, in whatever you want to call us, the political or media elite, need to not underestimate Donald Trump.”
