I did not endorse Trump, because I had condemned President Obama for telling us what to do in our referendum.

Farage attracted criticism for what was said to be anti-immigrant rhetoric in the run-up to the vote, including for posters showing long lines of immigrants apparently lining up to get into Britain.
Trump said Farage’s appearance was an honor and that “the nation’s working people will take control again”.
As the former leader of the UK Independence Party, Farage joined Trump on stage at the rally and proceeded to draw comparisons between UK’s exit from European Union and Trump’s presidential campaign.
“You have a fantastic opportunity here”, he told members of the audience.
“I think it’s absolutely mad that you can go to a supermarket and buy a rifle without basically proving who you are”.
He exclaimed if he were an American citizen he would not vote for former first lady Clinton “if you paid me”.
Hillary Clinton hit back at outgoing UKIP leader Nigel Farage after he told a Trump rally in MS: “if I was an American citizen I wouldn’t vote for Hillary Clinton if you paid me”.
He visited one of his golf courses in Scotland the day after the vote and boasted that he had predicted the outcome and called it a sign that his own campaign would be successful.
Trump has since lost popularity in national opinion polls and is fighting to remain competitive with Democratic rival Clinton, with a bit over two months to go until the November 8 election.
“Nov 8 is our chance to redeclare American independence”, Mr Trump said at the rally, borrowing a phrase Mr Farage used during the Brexit campaign.
In conclusion, Farage, who is well-known for his controversial speeches, urged voters saying, “If you want change in this country, you better get your walking boots on, you better get out there campaigning, and remember, anything is possible if enough decent people are prepared to stand up against the establishment”. I think some of that stuff [on gun law] is really unusual…
Fresh from “shaking up the British establishment” after his Brexit triumph, Nigel Farage is making waves over in the United States, not only appearing at a Donald Trump rally but now being criticised in a campaign speech by Hillary Clinton.
In response, Trump said she “is the only one fear-mongering”, adding she should be “ashamed of herself!” “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”. The comparison shows that Trump actually tweets significantly less overall than Clinton, but he does it more consistently.
Mr Farage, who was introduced as the man who orchestrated Brexit by Mr Trump, had said he would not vote for the Democratic presidential hopeful even if he was paid to do so.

Donald Trump has been a contentious figure from the start of his presidential campaign, but the last month has seen particularly damaging headlines undermine his political ambitions.
