President-elect Donald J. Trump has ostensibly thrown his support behind the idea of UK Independence Party (UKIP) leader Nigel Farage becoming the British Ambassador to the United States in a tweet issued late on Monday night.
The next president of the United States issued the statement, unprompted, via his Twitter feed, stating that the idea was popular amongst “many people” in a move that is sure to set the British political establishment into a further tailspin.
Writing at 9:22pm on Monday night, the President-elect said: “Many people would like to see @Nigel_Farage represent Great Britain as their Ambassador to the United States. He would do a great job!”
The tweet comes as the British political establishment struggles to deal with the fact that Mr. Farage was the first foreign politician to visit the President-elect after his victory over Secretary Hillary Clinton on November 8th.
The Prime Minister, Theresa May, and her Downing Street operation went into overdrive in order to play down Mr. Farage’s role in the U.S.-UK relationship, going so far as to label Mr. Farage an “irrelevance”.
The latest endorsement from President-elect Donald Trump will no doubt set the UK establishment into a further tailspin on the issue.
Over the weekend it became apparent that Mrs. May was ready to roll out the big guns, going so far as to extend an invitation for the President-elect to attend an official state visit at the home of Her Majesty the Queen at Windsor Castle.
But the move seems to have stiffened the President-elect’s resolve in his support for Mr. Farage.
The pair met, alongside Breitbart London editor Raheem Kassam and Leave.eu campaigners last weekend at his residence in Trump Tower in Midtown Manhattan last weekend.

Love it!
Go Trump!
Makes me want to brew some tea with scones on the side.
Theresa May and the Remainiacs in the Tory party have a outward disdain for Mr. Farage, whose UKIP party has been a thorn in their sides.
However, a bi-lateral trade deal between the US and the UK would expedite the Brexit process, because they need us now more than ever if they leave the EU.
It won’t happen, but Ms. May should appoint Mr. Farage as a special trade envoy to bring about a US/UK trade deal, from which continental trade deals would follow.
Let’s see if the Tories have that kind of moxie.
I do too. Pi$$ off the elites and endear himself to the average Joe.
Who is in charge of loading the royal Ipod with Trump speeches for presentation to her majesty? /cringe
This guy helped Trump with his campaign.
It is short sighted not to use that connection...so they must really hate him to keep blocking him.
They will hate him even more now that trump is calling it out.
Nigel Farage would make a excellent Ambassador!!!!
I think he promised it to the New York Jets Owner Woody Johnson
Agreed ... what if he got dual US/England citizenship, then Trump made him ambassador to the UK?
Hey, I can dream, can't I? ;-)
