Nigel Farage has disclosed the advice Donald Trump has given him as he did not rule out becoming Prime Minister at the 2029 General Election.
Farage claimed that he had spoken to the Republican White House hopeful on Monday after Trump survived his second assassinaton attempt.
“He always encourages me,” Farage told GB News.
Asked what his advice was when they spoke, Farage said: “Be me.”

The Reform UK leader also claimed that the odds of him becoming Prime Minister were 8/1.
The Reform UK leader used his keynote speech at the NEC in Birmingham to urge supporters to build a “People’s Army” ahead of the 2025 Local Elections in England.
Farage echoed the rallying cry in his sitdown interview with GB News.
He said: “If ever there was a moment when something big and historic was going to happen, it’s now.
“Is it probable? No. But you asked me a different question. Is it possible? Anything is possible.”
Farage’s relationship with Trump has come under the spotlight recently after the Reform UK leader revealed it was unlikely the 45th President would visit Clacton any time soon.
He said: “Donald Trump has got a lot to worry about and I’m quite convinced that the next time he comes to the UK won’t be Clacton, it’ll be Turnberry golf course which is his proudest possession in the world.”
The Reform UK leader also appeared to distance himself from previous ambitions to jet off to the US to support his pal during the 2024 White House race.
Farage initially cited his support for Trump as a reason not to stand on July 4.
However, the 60-year-old Brexit stalwart later back-peddled and eventually emerged victorious in Clacton’s contest.
Speaking about his plans to visit the US now, Farage earlier this month said: “Clearly my priority has to be Clacton, has to be my job in Parliament and the party that I lead nationally, so I will not be there a huge amount.”
Farage will return to the NEC tomorrow to sign off Reform UK’s annual conference which was today attended by 4,000 delegates.
