In a cryptic Twitter post, the White House hopeful simply wrote: ‘They will soon be calling me MR. BREXIT!’ Without any immediately obvious explanation for the tweet, US political analysts were left wondering what the self-proclaimed billionaire meant by his message.

Stuart Varney, an English-American journalist with Fox News, claimed Mr Trump was trying to draw a parallel between the Republican candidate’s belief he is the ‘anti-Establishment’ choice - versus Democratic nominee and former First Lady Hillary Clinton - and Britain’s majority vote to quit the EU. He told the TV channel: “Everybody in the Establishment in Britain said 'oh we gotta stay'. “The Government, business, academics, media - universally the Establishment said 'we gotta stay'. They voted to leave.”

Mr Varney also noted how opinion polls had got the Brexit result wrong before June 23, while Mr Trump is now expected by pollsters to be soundly beaten by Mrs Clinton. He added: “Now Donald Trump is drawing a parallel to the electorate here, and rightly so. “Because some of the issues are the same, immigration, control your own destiny - that was the issue in Brexit, that's to some degree the issue here in America. “The polls are suggesting that Trump loses in a landslide, well, let's see what happens in November. “But the main point is the Establishment in America universally opposes Donald Trump, just the way they universally opposed leaving (for) Britain. “There is a parallel between the two and I think Donald Trump's right to call himself Mr Brexit.”

The day after Britain’s historic vote to cut ties with Brussels, Mr Trump hailed Brexit as a “great victory” as he visited his lavish golf course in Scotland. At the time, he said: “I think really people see a big parallel. A lot of people are talking about that. Not only the United States but other countries. “People want to take their country back. They want to have independence in a sense. You see it all over Europe and many other cases where they want to take their borders back.” Mr Trump has vowed to ban all Muslims from entering America and pledged to build a wall between the US and Mexico if elected to the White House in November. In contrast to current US President Barack Obama, who joined in with David Cameron’s ‘Project Fear’ campaign by claiming Britain would be at the ‘back of the queue’ for a post-Brexit trade deal, Mr Trump had told the UK before the referendum: “You’d certainly not be back of the queue, that I can tell you.” The White House has since backtracked on Mr Obama’s remarks following the Brexit vote.
