Most Brits know little to nothing about Trump other than his immigration policies. Most people don't need to know more because Trump isn't a British politician which makes him somewhat irrelevant to us. Some however, started to take a keener interest and they can deny it all they want but they took a keen interest because when he came out of that political birth canal, he was all about dealing with those dirty immigrants. Trump excites a minority noninclusive audience over here, it was inevitable; in fact, when those blonde Katy Hopkins style locks first started showing up on our news channels, I could of taken bets on the types who would support him and types who wouldn't.

Oh I agree, there's not much substance behind the hyped tabloidesque soundbites, reminiscent of UKIP I'd say.
Lots of shouty hand waving, no credible solutions.
