That was the question that Nigel Farage was asked by TV interviewer Mrs Morton and Mr Farage MP (just kidding) obliged like never before.

Mr Farage revealed to Mrs Morton that he was first attracted to Trump by Trump’s TV show, The Apprentice. Farage said, “I saw his radiant tan and his hairline and just wanted to get to know him there and then. How do you get your skin that orange? That’s what I wanted to ask him.”

After meeting Trump at Grand Central station Mr Farage was smitten. Both shared an interest in Winston Churchill. Even his dodgy gassing Iraqis years of the 1920’s. They also discovered an admiration for Vladimir Putin. Farage saying, “Putin is very inspirational. Everyone in Russia trusts him. He can decide to launch a missile attack on a country and in a couple of hours it’s done. I’d love that.”

Farage also mentioned Trump’s love of uniforms. “Trump has brought so many military people into Government. That’s what we need in Brexit. Somebody who can iron.”

Farage also talked about their shared interest in a right wing revolution. “I saw his golden shower. It is a mighty shower. Having showered in something similar with Godfrey Bloom I knew this was the man for me. I knew we could spend the rest of eternity talking about an election campaign and how we’d won one vote. Bloody voting. Putin wouldn’t put up with that.”

On Trump’s recognition from the alt-right Mr Farage said, “I don’t condone Nazis at all. My French relatives fought in the Vichy army and found the Nazis an unreliable ally. That’s why Trump has to condem them. They’ll not deport Europeans properly. Particularly Polish people.”

Mr Farage MP (just kidding) avoided all mention of white supremacy.
