Nigel Farage: Donald Trump calls himself ‘Mr. Brexit.’ Here’s why he’s right.
It’s difficult to think of any issue in British politics outside of going to war that would normally impact the U.S. presidential election. But Brexit is it.
When I went as an observer to the Republican National Convention in Cleveland, I was astonished by the reaction. Delegate after delegate wanted to shake hands to say congratulations on Britain reasserting our own national democracy.
There is no question that Donald Trump’s campaign, under its new management, sees Brexit as a big opportunity. Trump even recently styled himself as “Mr. Brexit.” 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.
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.”

This article is written by Farage himself so take it for what it is worth. He is about as right-wing nationalist as you can get - well this side of Trump anyway.
