We’re doing a little minor interview tomorrow.” Speaking to the GB News website, Mr Farage said: “We’ll talk about the president’s view on the state of Scotland; the royal family ahead of the coronation; his personal legal issues in the United States; his take on British politics, especially on Rishi Sunak’s leadership so far, and of course his future political plans.” He continued: “I first met Mr Trump in 2014 and became firm friends in 2016 when I joined him on his successful presidential campaign trail. A month before the election, when the notorious Access Hollywood tape surfaced in which Mr Trump could be seen bragging about groping women, making a remark that would have ended almost anyone else’s political career, Mr Farage defended him by saying that while the comments were “ugly” they did not amount to much more than “alpha male boasting”. “By the way, quite a lot of women say things amongst themselves that they would not want to see on Fox News, or the front page of a newspaper.” Mr Farage was rewarded for his loyalty by being invited to Trump Tower in Manhattan shortly after Mr Trump’s victory in November, posing for the famous golden elevator photograph alongside fellow Leavers Arron Banks, Raheem Kassam, Andy Wigmore and Gerry Gunster, a group that laughably referred to themselves as “the Brex Pistols”. Just as Mr Trump had once branded himself “Mr Brexit”, Mr Farage was soon taking credit for the American’s election upset, saying he had been the “inspiration” for the MAGA campaign.
