The parallels between the United Kingdom's Brexit vote and Donald Trump's rise in American politics are so obvious, according to comedian Samantha Bee, that "even a brain-damaged baboon couldn't miss" them. But the reality of the Brexit vote seemed to trigger something stronger in the "Full Frontal" host. The baboon, Bee said on her weekly TBS show Monday, is Trump himself, who has invited comparisons between himself and Britain's campaign to leave the European Union. Bee, like many of her fellow late-night jokesters, has often targeted the presumptive Republican presidential nominee in this election. That is really the worst outcome of Brexit — not the breakup of the E.U.
