Donald Trump and Nigel Farage sat down once again for their second highly-anticipated interview in a year on Tuesday evening.
The 77-year-old Republican was quizzed by the former UKIP leader-turned-TV presenter in an interview airing at 7.00pm as he looks to land a second term in the Oval Office as President of the United States. The "busy" former US president allowed Farage, 59, just 33 minutes for their conversation on GB News as the pair trotted into a grand room in Mar-a-Largo. But half an hour was all the time Trump needed to make an abundance of bombshell claims.
From Prince Harry drama to the Ukraine conflict, The Mirror has listed the key moment in the Trump-Farage interview - chronologically.

Trump slammed Joe Biden and said he's not fit to run the country and that "very, very bad things happened" under his presidency. He added that Biden is not going to do “very well” in the November election, conversely, boasting that he himself was dead-set for the win later in the interview.

He said: "Everything is bad with our country right now, under this guy, the worst president in history."
The former president also said that the polls were a disaster. “The polls have us leading by a lot and there was a lot of cheating going on and we’re gonna get that cheating stopped”, he said.
Migrants compared to 'Silence of the Lambs'
Trump said that fictionalised serial killer Hannibal the Cannibal was probably among the migrants (GBNews)Trump compared illegal migrants seeking asylum through the Texas border like a scene of "Silence of the Lambs," adding that Hannibal Lecter "might be among them". He continued by claiming that they are mostly made up of "criminals" or "escaping mental institutions".
Meanwhile, Farage nodded away lacking any indignation as Trump continued to use the cannibal serial killer in Thomas Harris' novels as a metaphor.
He added: “We’re going to close up the border… you can come to you can come into the country but you have to come in legally.”
'It's going to be a bloodbath'
Farage addressed the 'bloodbath' comment Trump made of late (GBNews)Trump then went on to repeat his chilling threats of a "bloodbath" in the US should he not win the upcoming elections. He doubled down, that he was specifically talking about how the "electric mandate" is going to destroy the auto industry. “I said it’s going to be a bloodbath… it’s going to be a terrible bloodbath for the auto industry,” he added.
The daring choice of words was first made by him during a rally in Dayton, Ohio, last Saturday. He said at the time: “If I don’t get elected, it’s going to be a bloodbath for the whole — that’s going to be the least of it. It’s going to be a bloodbath for the country," he warned, as he talked about the impact of offshoring on the country’s auto industry and his plans to increase tariffs on foreign-made cars.
Funding of black colleges
Trump has been caught red-handed yet again (GBNews)Trump claimed that he was the first president in "years and years" to fund Historically black colleges and universities HBCUs, which was blatantly false.
He told Farage that "no one has funded black colleges for years and years," implying that he was one of the only presidents to offer monetary contributions. As usual, Trump is caught in another one of his lies.
Prince Harry

Trump said Prince Harry had committed the "great disrespect to the Queen" and he said they "broke her heart" and "really hurt her" as he attempted to avoid the firing line of Farage's question asking if Harry lied on his visa form.
He said: "I thought she was treated very disrespectful by them very very she you know I would say although she wouldn't show it because she was strong and smart but I would imagine they broke her heart the things that they were saying was so bad and so horrible and she was in a 90s and hearing this stuff I think they broke her heart."
As the UKIP ex-leader pulled him back to focus on the Prince, Trump added that "they'll have to take appropriate action," if the claims are true.
Farage asked if there would be any "special privileges" for the Prince, Trump replied: “No. We’ll have to see if they know something about the drugs, and if he lied they’ll have to take appropriate action.”
Seemingly out of nowhere, he concluded that King Charles is "a really wonderful guy", as Trump said they're both "environmentalists," albeit "different kinds".
Princess Kate situation
Trump also spoke out in defence of Princess Kate after she faced cruel online speculation while recovering from abdominal surgery. Wild conspiracy theories reached fever pitch when she released an edited picture of herself and her children for Mother's Day.
However, Trump claimed that the edited pictures are "not a big deal" as "everybody doctors" their photos. He said that it was a minor edit to the photograph at that, and celebrities do it all the time.
NATO
Farage asked Trump his thoughts on Princess Kate's photograph - which he said wasn't a 'big deal' (GBNews)Trump touted his success in negotiations and diplomacy, while slamming NATO for "not paying" their bills. Trump believes the US should not bear the majority of the financial burden, and that European countries must contribute more. He said: "The United States should pay its fair share, not everybody else's fair share."
"Why should we guard these, these countries that have a lot of money and the United States who's paying for most of NATO."
The former president claimed to have warned the alliance in a meeting, saying "I said 'you're going to have to pay your bills everybody,'" he told Farage. The second meeting, Trump allegedly told NATO: "We're going to hit you hard."
Trump added that he wasn't going to defend NATO from Russia if they "didn't pay their bills", adding that "NATO became strong because of me".
He said: "It may now mean NATO has to treat the US fairly because if it's not for the United States, NATO literally doesn't even exist. But they took advantage of us like most countries do."
Russia and Palestine
Trump said he got on with Putin and if he was in charge of the US, he'd never have attacked Ukraine (GBNews)Trump continued to talk of his powers of diplomacy. "I got along with President Putin great. I got along with President Xi great," he said.
He said that the Russian president would have never got into Ukraine if he was in charge, pushing the blame onto president Biden. Trump also claimed that "the attack on October 7 would never have taken place," if he was still in office;
He slammed the current US president for the sum paid for the hostages. He said: "We gave him $6 billion for a couple of hostages for five hostages."
Lawsuits
"The courts are rigged," a furious Trump said who claimed they have vastly under-estimated his Mar-a-Lago estate at as little as $18million thanks to a "crooked legal system". He added that companies are leaving New York simply because of the decision on Trump
His anger stems from being embroiled in legal battles – while he can’t get a bond the £367million ($467million) fraud judgement against him as his lawyers slammed it as a “practical impossibility," they announced on Monday. Last month, New York State Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron found the former president of over estimating the values of his properties in order to dupe lenders and insurers.
Election
While Trump thinks he'll clinch the presidency, he said the next seven months could be chaos (GBNews)Trump finished his rant with some final words to bolster his own claim to become US president, whilst concurrently attempting to tear Biden apart.
He said: "November 5 is going to be the most important day in the history of our country. With that being said seven months is a long time. When you have somebody as destructive and incompetent as this President. That's a long time. A lot of bad things can happen to our country in that seven months."
It comes as rumours swirl of Farage's possible envoy role for Trump if he returns to the White House. The former UKIP leader flew to the Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida last month, before giving a speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington – hailing the ex-president as the "bravest" man he knew.
