The funniest Twitter reactions to Nigel Farage's Trump rally appearance

Two forces of unrelenting controversy dipped in mahogany combined last night when Nigel Farage took to the stage for a Donald Trump presidential rally in Mississippi.

A stealthy bid to restore the US to the British Empire? Perhaps, though on the surface level, the chief Brexiteer was on-message, telling the feverish supporters that if he were American he'd never vote for Hillary Clinton, even if the democrat nominee paid him herself - a quote taken right out of Trump's 'Crooked Hillary' playbook.

Not that he was the only one with a quip: as the bizarre scene played out, Twitter users started posting gags to make some sense of it all. Because you have to laugh in situations like these, right?

RIGHT?

The British Empire struck back

Big talk

Not our problem now

That explains it

THE RED COATS ARE COMING

Jokers

We're feeling sick

#Sarcasm

The new campaign is born

Farage+Trump = Frump
