       Speaking on his GB News show, Mr Farage said: "He's probably going to finish up with 312 Electoral College votes, and all he needed was 270, to win.

       “So it's a very big win, and he's taken the Senate, and it looks like he'll take the lower house as well.

       “This is a crushing, comprehensive victory for the Republicans over Kamala Harris and over the Democrats.

       “But there's one figure in this that you probably haven't heard much about. He's a young man. He's 18 years old. His name is Baron Trump.

       “I haven't suddenly become a midget; Baron is six foot nine, aged 18. Now it was a pleasure. I met him before when he was about 14, but he's 18 years old now, incredibly polite, very well turned out and remarkably smart.

       “He told me more about my social media clips over the years than I can even remember, and he is credited with convincing his father that for this election, they should do podcasts. And that's what Trump did: podcast after podcast

       “Many of those podcasts aimed at young voters, many of them aimed, in many ways, at young male voters. I noticed on the night there were lots of boxers, lots of UFC fighters, a lot of alpha male stuff going on.

       “And I think young Baron actually played quite a significant role in the victory of his father."

       Mr Farage, who is a close friend of Mr Trump and attended his Mar-a-Lago victory party, said his win presents a "dilemma" for Labour over trade deals and previous comments made by senior politicians.

       The Clacton MP said: “But the question for us is, is Donald Trump's election good news for Britain?

       “Now, I think it is because he's instinctively pro-British. I think it is because when he was president, he was more than happy to do a trade deal with us. The problem was our Conservative government hadn't got Brexit done, we weren't in a position to be able to do so.

       “But given that Trump is saying 10% tariffs on anything that comes in from anywhere else in the world, that I think presents a big dilemma to Keir Starmer’s government.

       “There are other problems too. I suspect the handover of the Chagos Islands casting long-term doubt over the naval base that the Americans use on Diego Garcia, I suspect that could become a problem. And not to mention some very disobliging things that have been said by very senior Labour politicians, including, of course, Sadiq Khan, who's now 10 years into a feud with Donald Trump.”
