Farage, an old friend of the US president, described Trump as the “most pro-British president for many years” and warned of the consequences if Democratic candidate Joe Biden wins.
The UK has no chance of securing a trade deal with the US if Biden is in the White House, he warned.
“The special relationship is vital for the UK post-Brexit and will only be safe in the hands of Trump,” he said.
Farage, writing for the Sunday Express, claimed that Biden “views Brexit as a mistake” and evoked memories of Barack Obama’s notorious intervention in the run-up to the referendum.
In April 2016, then-President Obama warned that Britain would be “at the bottom of the line” when it comes to trade deals if it leaves the EU.
Mr. Farage said: “Whether you like Trump’s style or not, one thing is for sure; that this is the most pro-British president for many years. By contrast, Joe Biden was Obama’s MP when he said Britain would come back in line if we dared vote for Brexit.
“He is more interested in the relationship with Ireland than with us, he sees Brexit as a mistake and I don’t see any possibility of a free trade agreement with the United States under President Joe Biden. The special relationship is vital for the UK post-Brexit and will only be safe in Trump’s hands. “
Former MEP Farage hailed Trump’s foreign policy record, saying: “Under Trump there have been no more endless wars and now a remarkable series of agreements are being signed between Israel and various Arab states. In 2016, Trump stood up and made a number of promises to the people and, by and large, he has kept them.

The candidates will not be able to meet until the final debate on October 22.
A total of polls put Biden at 52.1 percent and Trump at 41.9 percent. Yet as Trump in 2016 and George Bush in 2000 demonstrated, under the US electoral college system, it is possible to lose the popular vote but still be elected president.
Farage suggested that commentators who have ruled out Trump might be in for a surprise.
He said: “In 2016, I took a chance and not only supported Trump’s campaign, but also predicted that he would win. This was treated with a lot of hilarity at the time by the greats and the good.
“I think those same people are in for another surprise on November 3.”
