I’m not sure what Nigel Farage was thinking when he decided to skip school and go off on a grandstanding jolly to Washington as a kind of Quisling to British interests, but it didn’t work out that well.
Yes, he did get the money shot of a rather stilted photo of him standing next to a seated President Trump in the Oval Office, but we hardly need reminding that he knows Trump. He did not, pointedly, get the full Oval Office photocall treatment with Vance, Rubio et al, plus a gaggle of reporters. This is reserved for proper world leaders, but Trump could have done his friend a favour and pretended he was prime minister-in-waiting.
