While Farage grinned for the camera, Twitter had a lot to say.
Leading Brexit campaigner Nigel Farage visited Donald Trump at his home on Saturday, after suggesting he could act as a go-between to help smooth British relations with US president-elect.
"We're just tourists!" Farage, head of the UK Independence Party (UKIP), told reporters as he waited for an elevator in the lobby of Trump Tower in New York City.

Farage is the first British politician to meet Trump.
