Nigel Farage: Donald Trump calls himself ‘Mr. Brexit.’ Here’s why he’s right.
Washington Post ^ | 06 September 2016 | Nigel Farage

But when the Trump team draw parallels between the situations in Britain and the United States — the detachment many voters feel — and compare their effort to our recent referendum success, they are absolutely right.

It was the first victory against an international political elite who have led us into an endless series of foreign wars and seen politics effectively purchased by the big banks and the multinationals.

As the rich have got richer in our respective nations, the average family has found the going tough. In Britain, many have seen their living standards decline because of the over-supply of unskilled labor coming in from the E.U., pushing down wages and making the minimum wage the maximum wage for so many. There is no doubt that the No. 1 issue that got people motivated and excited to vote to leave the E.U. was the issue of Britain taking back control of her borders, just as two-thirds of Trump’s supporters see uncontrolled immigration to the United States as “a very big problem.”

Been a big fan of Farage’s for years, I’m glad Trump reached out to him as he’s a natural ally to his campaign and to us.

When it comes to political speechmaking, the Brits prefer to use the scalpel rather than the (cricket) bat. Check almost any episode of the British TV sitcom "Yes, Minister" or "Yes, Prime Minister" to see how they play the game.

At the rally in Jackson, Nigel picked up a baseball bat, swung it a few times, said, "Hmm, this has a nice feel to it," entered the batter's box, and hit one out of the park against the globalist elites in this country and Hillary.

I'd like to see more of him over here. He wields the bat with style.
