Outgoing UK Independence Party (UKIP) leader and Brexit backer Nigel Farage has urged Republicans to “get your walking boots on” and drum up support for presidential nominee Donald Trump. “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.

‘Just yesterday, one of Britain’s most prominent right-wing leaders, a man named Nigel Farage, who stoked anti-immigrant sentiments to win the referendum, to have Britain leave the European Union, campaigned with Donald Trump in MS, ‘ she said in Reno. “I wouldn’t vote for Hillary Clinton if she paid me”, Farage said, as Trump’s supporters roared with approval. But he did offer a hint: “I would not vote for Hillary, even if you paid me”.
UKIP leader Nigel Farage has rallied with Republican Presidential hopeful Donald Trump.
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.
In a tweet last week, Mr Trump said: “They will soon be calling me Mr Brexit”. “What we did in the United Kingdom on the 23 of June, was to strike the first really big blow against the professional political class working hand in glove with the giant multinationals and the big Wall Street banks”, Farage told the FOX Business Network’s Stuart Varney.
At the rally, Farage gave the crowd advice about running a successful, anti-establishment campaign.
Earlier Wednesday in Tampa, Florida, Trump said he would impose tariffs on Chinese imports to the U.S.to “level the field on trade”.
“I was very supportive of their right to do it and take control of their own future like exactly what we’re going to be voting for on November 8”, Trump said.
He also condemned President Barack Obama’s decision to intervene in the European Union referendum. “I get it”, he told them.
Trump was one of the few politician to back Brexit, and he has linked his and Farage’s causes before.
Trump called Farage to the stage in the middle of his appearance, shook his hand and handed over the microphone to him. “You will hear ‘If Trump wins, we’ll play into the hands of President Putin, we’ll bring the world closer to war and there will be bad economic ruin coming to America'”.
“On the day of the election itself, they put us 10 points behind”.
Trump has sought to support the Brexit movement, noting he had said before the June 23 referendum that Britons should vote to leave.

Farage’s invitation may have been engineered by Trump’s new campaign manager Stephen Bannon, who until taking up the role was head of the Breitbart news website and also a strong advocate of Brexit.
