Nigel Farage is standing firm in his support for Donald Trump, crediting the former US President’s Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement as a major source of inspiration. During an event at Ned’s Club in Washington, Farage expressed his commitment, saying, “I have never wavered in my thoughts or my views for one minute.” The Reform UK leader believes the MAGA momentum parallels his own political goals, with hopes of securing victory in the next general election in the UK.
Farage, who has met Trump in the Oval Office, claims to be the only UK political figure unwavering in backing Trump’s movement, even when it wasn’t the popular stance. While his visit to Washington stirred headlines, particularly after he appeared before a congressional committee on free speech, Farage remains undeterred.
His speech coincided with the news that GB News will be expanding into the US, a strategic move welcomed by Farage, who declared it could transform how the UK and Europe perceive Trump. As part of this move, a nightly show will be filmed in Washington, aiming to present an alternative view of Trump beyond mainstream media portrayals.
Farage’s trip came amidst ongoing legal challenges faced by Trump, tackling issues like tariffs and deportations. Despite the controversies, Farage insists Trump’s portrayal has been unfair and seeks to change the narrative through media initiatives. His outspoken support hasn’t been without criticism, highlighting the divisive opinions surrounding both his and Trump’s political endeavours.
