Nigel Farage, the former UK Independence party leader and orchestrator of the Brexit on Thursday, appeared in a Donald Trump rally in Jackson, Mississippi.
“November 8 is our chance to redeclare American independence”, Trump said, borrowing a phrase Farage used during the Brexit campaign.
Farage said “anything is possible” for patriotic movements such as his and Trump’s. Trump is now trailing Clinton in the polls, but Farage told the crowd of 15,000 activists that the Republican candidate could “beat the pollsters”.
He accused U.S. president Barack Obama of talking down to Britain when he warned the United Kingdom would be at the “back of the queue” in any trade deal with the USA if it chose to leave the European Union, and said he did not want to tell anyone how to vote.
Writing in the Mail on Sunday, he said Mr Trump was new to politics and had made a lot of mistakes but was becoming a more confident speaker. But he did say that “if I was a USA citizen I would not vote for Hillary Clinton even if she paid me”.
Despite his full-throated support of Trump at Wednesday’s rally, Farage has previously admitted that he is not entirely comfortable with some of Trump’s outspoken rhetoric.
And who better than the original Mr. Brexit, Nigel Farage himself, to show us what it’ll take to get it done?
“Trump is the candidate with whom things will change”. The partisan crowd didn’t care of course, they are happy to be told to vote for Trump, that is why they are there after all. “But when I go through and I meet thousands and thousands of people on this subject, and I’ve had very strong people come up to me. and they’ve said: ‘Mr”. “But I will say this, if I was an American citizen I wouldn’t vote for Hillary Clinton if you paid me”.
Mrs Clinton said Mr Trump’s proposed “softening” was the third different immigration position he had expressed in 24 hours.
He went anti-establishment with “You can beat the pollsters, you can beat the commentators, you can beat Washington”.
Political observers have drawn a slew of similarities between Trump’s campaign and the pro-Brexit movement – particularly their populist and nationalist appeal – and Trump has also approvingly likened the two political movements.

She said Trump’s reluctance to defend Eastern European countries against Russian Federation and willingness to recognise Russia’s annexation of Crimea “adds up to something we have never seen before”.
