So what does Donald Trump mean for Brexit?

What challenges do you feel President Trump will encounter, and how successfully will he tackle them?

“So 2016 is, by the looks of it, going to be the year of two great political revolutions”.

“Massive groups of people are feeling alienated and under-represented by the liberal elite, who run our politics”. In addition, Donald Trump is above all else, a pragmatic businessman.

At the election party Tuesday night at the United States Embassy in London, most Britons were shocked by how well Trump was doing.

No meeting is yet set in stone, but if one is arranged it could mean Mr Farage is the first United Kingdom politician to meet President-elect Trump.

“The simple narrative is that this vote is the revenge of the white working class, but it’s a bit more complicated than that”, he explained.

In a what-if scenario describing the relationship between Trump’s America and post-Brexit Britain the possible outcomes received mixed reviews.

As for UKIP’s popularity in Britain, Shebab Khan doesn’t think the Republicans’ triumph will directly affect support for a right-wing populist party over the pond.

Republican candidate Donald Trump ran on a platform that tapped into some American voters’ need to “reclaim” their country.

He said: “We will also be launching, with all Leave campaigns including members of all political parties, a march on the Supreme Court to make a point that “Brexit means Brexit”. The sentiment has been there for a while until people’s fears and problems are answered”.

Over the coming days and months investors will also look to see the extent to which Donald Trump appears more moderate and conciliatory.

“In private, one-to-one, I found him amenable and he will listen”, he said, adding that the “success or otherwise” of Mr Trump’s presidency would depend on the people he surrounded himself with.

“I want to tell the world community … we will deal fairly with everyone”, he said. If American voters can dig deep down in themselves, they’ll see how the votes mirror each other.

Building a wall, cancelling trade agreements, deporting 11 million people and “renegotiating” the US national debt all appeal to that anger and the thirst for simple solutions, but investors should, regardless of their politics, ask themselves if they really believe any or all of those things will actually happen.

In both cases, critics say pollsters failed to capture the extent of discontent among ordinary Britons unhappy with the European Union partnership and Americans angry over the state of the USA economy and social fabric.
