Speaking to Express.co.uk in his constituency in Clacton-on-Sea, Essex, on Saturday, Mr Farage, said he believed the key thing Mr Trump will tackle when he takes office is tackling several so-called 'woke' issues, such as transgender athletes competing in women's sport.
He said: "I just think the pendulum is coming back in a dramatic way for all of this stuff, trans in sport, etc, etc. There's a big pendulum shift back.
"And it’s ironic it’s going to happen under a centre-left government (in the UK), who probably won't even be discussing these things. But it is happening and America will lead the way on this in a huge way, huge way.
"Trump is going to be quite radical this time around, stuff is going to happen. Big stuff."

The discussion over transgender and biological sex in sport blew up over the summer during the Paris Olympics when Algerian and Chinese boxers, Imane Khelif and Taiwan's Lin Yu-ting, were accused of being biologically male.
Both athletes were cleared as female by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to compete in the women's boxing. During his election campaign Donald Trump said he would ban all transgender women from female competition in sports.
A TV campaign by Mr Trump during the election race with Democratic rival Kamala Harris said “Kamala is for they/them" and that “President Trump is for you".

A number of players had refused to wear the armband citing their religious beliefs, and Mr Farage said of the campaign "football fans don’t believe in any of this, they don't believe in it".
The Rainbow Laces movement, launched in 2013, involves captains of top-flight clubs being given armbands to wear for a week every season to demonstrate support for the rights of LGBTQ+ people.
