Trump tells Farage that he, like Farage and Boris Johnson, is disappointed that Brexit hasn't happened yet.
Trump retells his usual fictional story about how he predicted Brexit while in Scotland before the vote, and "everybody laughed" and "I was right." He was in Scotland the day after the vote.
Asked if Boris Johnson should just "drop this deal" and "go for a clean break," Trump declines to offer an opinion but tells Farage that Boris Johnson "has a lot of respect and like for you."
Asked about claims that US companies would get involved in the British health system via a trade deal, Trump: "Nooo, not at all. We wouldn't even be involved in that, no."

Trump says the US is trying to fix its own "health service": "We all have our health service problems."
Trump marvels of the Queen: "I don't think she's ever been in anything that was bad."
Asks if he feels bad for Meghan Markle with her struggles, Trump says he's been watching her interviews and "she takes it very, very personally." He adds that he can understand this. He calls Harry a "fine young man."
(Trump seemed to mean that the Queen hasn't ever had scandals.)
Trump says of Theresa May: "I like her. She was always very nice to me. I was nice to her."
Trump repeats that Theresa May didn't listen to his advice about Brexit, and "she could have made a great deal" if she had. (She's said that he advised her to sue the European Union rather than negotiate.)
"When you see those orange suits where the heads were cut off, that was him," Trump says of Baghdadi. He adds, "He's an animal. And he died a coward and he died a very gruff death, I can tell you."
"He died whimpering and crying," Trump repeats of Baghdadi; military leaders say they can't confirm this claim.
Trump says the UK was "possibly incredibly smart" for refusing to take back its ISIS nationals, but he isn't happy about this.
Trump claims of the wife of the US diplomat who killed a UK teen: "I had a meeting set up, but all of a sudden -- I guess lawyers got involved." The family says it was not even told that she would be at the White House when they were there meeting Trump.
Trump again says he released an "exact transcript" of the Ukraine call, which he did not.
Trump says that when the Ukraine call first came up as an issue, he said, "having a good memory," "oh, well, that's OK, there's nothing there."
"I'm the highest-rated person in the history of the Republican Party," Trump falsely claims as he has before, then explains, falsely, "Came out the other day -- 95%. I have a 95% approval rating in the Republican Party."
Trump says he knew lots of people were listening to the Ukraine call, so obviously he wouldn't say anything bad. He adds, "I'm a straight shooter anyway."
Trump says Elizabeth Warren is "picking up steam" even though he thought she was done when he tagged her as "Pocahontas." He says he doesn't think Biden is going to win and that Sanders seems toast.
"Corbyn would be so bad for your country," Trump tells Farage.
Trump told Farage re the economy: "You're being held back by the European Union. So are other countries within the European Union. You have countries, Italy and others, that would do much better, frankly, without the European Union. But if they want to have a union, that's fine."
