He doesn't seem to be as laid back in recent months. Seems quite curt at times. He was trying to copy his master at a recent press conference when he had a swipe at the FT journo asking him a question (which he avoided answering). That style won't wash over here in the long term. Trump's personality, as deeply unpleasant as it is, is big. I get the impression the journos in his conferences are scared of him, if not him personally then the repercussions once the conference is over. Farage can deflect, but if he keeps up with that confrontational style it will backfire with voters. Unlike Trump, he's not got a big enough hardcore base to get away with it.
