Former UKIP leader Nigel Farage delivered a well received populist message of “hope and optimism” to over 10,000 Trump supporters in Jackson, Mississippi Wednesday.

“If the little people, if the real people, if the ordinary, decent people are prepared to stand up and fight for what they believe in, we can overcome the big banks, we can overcome the mutinationals,” he boomed to raucous applause.

“If the ordinary, decent people are prepared to stand up and fight for what they believe in, we can overcome the big banks, we can overcome the mutinationals.”

Farage was a central figure in the successful Brexit campaign, fueled by many of the same anti-globalist concerns that first propelled Trump to the forefront of the GOP field.

“We made June 23 our independence day when we smashed the Establishment,” thundered Farage, who encouraged the crowd not to be disheartened by Establishment anti-Trump fear mongering.

“Everybody said we’d lose,” noted Frage. “And what did we see? We saw experts from all over the world … we saw global leaders giving us Project Fear,” he said. “They told us our economy would fall off a cliff, they told us they would be mass unemployment, they told us investment would leave our country,” he continued.

“We saw the commentariat and we saw the polling industry doing everything they could to demoralize our campaign,” Farage said.

This is all likely familiar to Trump supporters, who have been subjected to a near-constant mainstream media mantra of the inevitable doom that would fall upon the country should Trump receive the keys to the White House.

Nevertheless, Farage explained, Brexit succeeded due to the campaign’s successful anti-globalization message.

“We reached those people who had been let down by modern global corporatism, we reached those people who had never voted in their lives, but believed by going out voting for Brexit they could take back control of their country, take back control of their borders and get back their pride, and self-respect.”

While Farage didn’t outright endorse Trump — as he noted, he famously criticized President Obama for telling the British people how they should have voted in the Brexit referendum — he made his thoughts about Hillary Clinton quite clear.

“I wouldn’t vote for Hillary Clinton if you paid me. In fact, I wouldn’t vote for Hillary Clinton if she paid me!”
