Donald Trump, the Republican Party's presidential nominee, has been in the spotlight for years. From developing real estate to producing and starring in TV shows, see how he's shaped his empire.

(CNN)Brexit campaign leader Nigel Farage wrote an op-ed for the Daily Mail over the weekend recounting his trip to the United States to campaign with Donald Trump, saying the rally he attended "was more like a rock concert than a political meeting" and asserting Trump will "be the new Ronald Reagan."

Farage joined Trump at an event in Jackson, Mississippi, last week, further fueling comparisons between the populist brand of politics that drove the Brexit result and have sparked Trump's political rise -- an analogy Trump himself highlighted when he tweeted, "They will soon be calling me MR. BREXIT!"

"Trump was MY warm-up man... but I gave him a bounce -- and he'll be the new Ronald Reagan," Farage titled his essay describing his experience with Trump.

Farage raved that the Mississippi rally had the atmosphere of "more like a rock concert than a political meeting."

Farage wrote about his initial misgivings about the Republican presidential nominee, saying his campaign "has been highly controversial," and that "some of his comments have not looked good and left him open to accusations of extremis."

Indeed, simply rock concert's focus rather that a political campaign.

Trump will continue to rock and roll in the far yonder while he watched Hillary Clinton sworn-in as President of the US_of_A in January 2017.

'Operation Wetback'

Trump rose to the top of the GOP field by stoking the nativist anger of his conservative followers with vows to deport all the undocumented workers in this country, and build a wall between the US and Mexico, before allowing some of "the good ones" to return to the US.

Republican rivals scoffed at the sheer unfeasibility of his proposal -- leading Trump to cite the model of the 1954 "Operation Wetback" under President Dwight Eisenhower, which rounded up thousands of undocumented immigrants from U.S. fields and ranches, bused them to detention centers, and sent them back to Mexico, first by airlift, and then by cargo boat -- a journey that was widely denounced as inhumane.

What is Donald Trump's immigration plan -- and when will we see it?

Trump, who promises to deliver a major speech Wednesday on the issue, seems to have narrowed the scope of his immigration plans and changed his tone, suggesting that he is rethinking a policy that was the lynchpin of his appeal during the Republican primaries.

"All the media wants to talk about is the 11 million people," Trump complained this weekend during a speech in Iowa, as though that point was a sidebar to immigration policy. "On day one, I'm going to begin swiftly removing criminal illegal immigrants from this country."
