Seeing as how the EU is actively raising its own army with military bases planned in all member state countries while simultaneously overturning the BREXIT vote and intimidating any country that expresses a desire to leave the union, I agree 100% with Trump.
The EU was meant as an economic union, it was never meant to dissolve national borders or create an army to ensure subservience. Furthermore, the EU was never democratically elected and those in power have absolutely no democratic obligations to the people. In fact, the EU has a lot more in common with the USSR than Russia has with its own soviet past today.
Americans need to treat the EU has a stark warning of what lies ahead if you continue down the path of socialism. We already see top left-wing figures like Rosie O'Donell calling for martial law in America. Socialism inevitably leads to communism and we now see exactly this happening to Europe who was once the poster child of democratic socialism. Socialism is tyranny supported by the people, communism is that same tyranny after the people tried to reject it and the government said "no".

Russia wants a Finlandization of Europe (meaning a mainland Europe that is under control of a Russian sphere).
Getting Britian to cut itself off from Europe is a long sought after goal of theirs and is a big step towards that goal:

You guys are being suckered IMO, there is never a "vacuum of power", someone will always seize a power oppurtunity and right now Russia is doing a great job of advancing their goals.
A weaker, divided Europe benefits someone.
