Facing low polling numbers, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has embarked on a series of campaigns across the South, hoping to reconnect with the strong conservative base in the country.

According to the BBC, Farage earlier told a local radio in MS that the similarities between the Brexit vote and the USA presidential election were “uncanny”.
“I will say this, if I was an American citizen, I wouldn’t vote for Hillary Clinton if you paid me”, he said.
The billionaire businessman noted the leave side trailed in opinion polls heading into the referendum, and Farage suggested that USA voters who might be keeping their personal views silent on the White House race will flock to Trump and propel him to victory.
Mr Farage said that the majority of the audience at the rally had never voted before, and these are “the same people who made Brexit happen”.
“If the ordinary, decent people are prepared to stand up and fight for what they believe in, we can overcome the big banks, we can overcome the mutinationals.”
Clinton could have probably got away with ignoring the attack, given Farage’s extremely low profile in the US. “You can go out and beat the pollsters, you can beat the commentators, and you can beat Washington”, Farage told a crowd of around 10,000. “Donald Trump has built his campaign on prejudice and paranoia”.
Farage appeared with Trump before a crowd of thousands at the rally in Jackson, Mississipi.
That being the case, we chose to analyze the past six months of Trump’s tweets to see what they could tell us about the frequency with which he tweets, whether he writes a lot of the tweets himself and what time of day he is taking to the social media site.
Clinton’s speech sought to link Trump to what she called “the rising tide of hardline right-wing nationalism around the world”.
He compared the federal government in Washington DEC to the European Commission, saying many people felt it had become “its own country”, and claimed that the Democrat nominee, Hilalry Clinton, epitomized the status quo.

Farage’s visit comes as Trump continues to struggle in the polls, and the conservative British politician also sought to encourage Trump supporters not to despair, pointing to polling in the United Kingdom that hinted at defeat for the referendum to leave the EU.
