Nigel Farage to Tell ‘Brexit Story’ at Trump Rally
In a tweet last week, Mr Trump said: “They will soon be calling me Mr Brexit”.
Raheem Kassam, a former adviser to Mr Farage who is in MS, said: “As I understand it, the plan is for him to speak ahead of Trump’s speech and basically just to walk the audience through the Brexit campaign and how the anti-establishment beat the establishment”.
“He is just there as a storyteller from a country which has gone through a similar election recently”.
Mr Trump was previously a lukewarm supporter of LGBT rights, but has changed his stance repeatedly during the campaign in a bid to appeal to the broad Republican base.
During a visit to his golf resort in Ayrshire, Scotland, in the aftermath of the referendum, Mr Trump said the UK’s vote to leave the European Union was a “great thing”.
In a strident intervention in the American presidential contest, Mr Farage compared the disillusionment with the British political establishment evident in the Brexit vote with the support which could sweep Mr Trump to power. Unless it’s just a tribute to white-men-with-armbands-around-the-world, what in the hell does the campaign think it’s going to gain by going to MS with Nigel Farage?
But he said the fact that the overwhelming number of politicians were in favour of staying in the European Union highlighted the disconnect between voters and the political class in Westminster.
He added: “I’ve been called “over the top” once or twice, but I think some of Donald Trump’s comments are pretty out there….”
“When he sticks to the [key issues] I think he wins”, he said.
The hosts of Super Talk Mississippi said they believed Mr Farage was a geniune “conservastive Republican”.
He added: “Brexit has struck an enormous chord”.
“They see it as a victory of ordinary people against big business, big banks and big politics, ” he told the Telegraph. She has no sense of markets and such bad judgement. On the morning the result of the referendum came in, he held a press conference in Scotland where he claimed the British people had “taken back their country”. “She represents what has happened to politicians elsewhere in the West”. “We were wasting our time”.
“And do you know what?” With a well-aimed stone, we hit that big Goliath and knocked it over.
The famously tweed-clad Englishman said he had been approached by many people interested in Brexit during his time in the US.
“And if they want things to change, they’ve got to get up out of their chairs, go out, and fight for it”. And just weeks earlier Mr Trump, when interviewed in the USA, suggested he was not familiar with the word “Brexit”. His appearance at Mr. Trump’s Jackson rally tonight comes as voters across the West are increasingly rejecting “establishment” politics. Farage also popped up at the Republican national convention in Cleveland last month, where he declared himself himself “a huge fan of Barack Obama”.
“I shouldn’t do that”, he said.
“They shook the world when they did so and that’s what’s gonna happen in November when Donald Trump is elected president”, he said. “I thank you guys very much indeed for that”. “They’re angry about many, many things”.
“I think we should start with Hillary Clinton”.
Farage’s future is unclear.
“That clearly Hillary Clinton is the establishment status quo candidate”.
