Trump to appear with leading Brexiteer Nigel Farage

Donald Trump will be sharing a stage with Brexit leader Nigel Farage in Jackson, Mississippi, on Wednesday night. Sky News' Darren McCaffrey reports that Farage will not endorse Trump, but will be "there to tell the Brexit story."

"Brexit is just massive over here," Farage told The Daily Telegraph, referring to the United States. He added: "I went to the [Republican] convention in Cleveland and I just could not believe that ordinary people [were] talking to me about Brexit." Trump has deemed himself "Mr. Brexit" on Twitter, despite apparently not closely following the vote, which took place in June and determined Britain will leave the European Union.

"Trump's GOP is essentially a European far right party. Increasingly making it official," NBC News' Benjy Sarlin said.
