US donald trump inauguration nigel farage
Nigel Farage was asked if he actually made it into the Capitol for Trump’s inauguration and it’s the most satisfying thing you’ll watch today
Hard to believe we know but Donald Trump’s second inauguration day turned out to be more shocking – so much more shocking – than many people had anticipated (and not just because of Elon Musk).
There were glimmers of light in the gloom of course – Melania Trump’s hat and that most unfortunate ‘kiss’, for instance – and this is definitely another one.
It’s Nigel Farage who’d been proudly wanging on before the event about his hero Trump and flew all the way to Washington for the occasion.

Nigel Farage, “No.. No.. No.. Didn’t make the cut.. I had a good seat.. But.. No.. I mean look.. Frankly.. Err.. It.. You know”

A supremely satisfying exchange. And here are our favourite things people said about it.
So Farage went to USA and didn’t make it into the rotunda, the funniest thing I’ve ever heard, what a grifting twat , so much for him being close to trump, all made up by Deform, all this bollox about being the UK ambassador and he’s as close to trump as I am lol

Nigel ( to Reform buddies)- my American friend’s going to give us £100m pounds…!
Nigel( to American friends) – . . . well, can I at least have a chair then? No?
Nigel (to Reform buddies) – it’s fine . . . didn’t even want a chair anyway . . .

Nigel has been played ,he has helped promote Trump in the UK over the years and after serving his purpose has been dumped.

He doesn’t do the laughing talking thing when he’s being cussed.

To conclude.
Farage is such a needy thin-skinned baby isn’t he? https://t.co/Tn24OZr451
