if Trump can succeed with the EU, it will be much easier to succeed with the UK. It's much easier to strike FTAs with less complex economies

Competitive on WTO regs? Whereas the rest of the EU won't be. How's that work?
CU distorts the internal market so that it is not competitive in the world market. Outside, UK can rebalance economy to be world competitive
