Nigel Farage has criticized the “mainstream media narrative” against former President Donald J. Trump following the assassination attempt against him in Pennsylvania. “The narrative that is put out there about Trump, by these liberals that oppose him, is so nasty, it’s so unpleasant, that I think it almost encourages this type of behavior,” he said. “There are some things that are said on social media that aren’t acceptable. But there is also a mainstream media narrative and I’m afraid it’s very, very one-sided.”
Farage said the BBC, Britain’s state broadcaster, “is a part of this,” citing the way it has encouraged hatred against him, as well. “One of the many times that I had a drink thrown at me, a so-called comedian on a BBC show said, ‘Well, why not battery acid?'”
Farage also recalled recent comments by Joe Biden that “Trump must be put in the bullseye,” suggesting such rhetoric has contributed to a dangerous political environment.
Farage also referenced BBC presenter David Aaronovitch making a supposedly satirical social media post calling for Biden to “hurry up and have Trump murdered.”
While media and politicians have mostly condemned the shooting, MSNBC had to pull its flagship show, Morning Joe, on Monday, reportedly over fears one of its anti-Trump hosts or guests may say something inappropriate.
Prior to the shooting, a litany of celebrities, journalists, and politicians have called for violence against Trump, some even calling for him to be killed.
I remember when Jo Brand asked “why bother with a milkshake when you could get some battery acid?”.
When David Aaronovitch said “if I was Biden I’d hurry up and have Trump murdered”.

Former President Donald J. Trump, the 2024 presidential front-runner, has named U.S. Senator J.D. Vance (R-OH) his vice-presidential pick. The 39-year-old Vance was elected to the Senate during the 2022 mid-term elections and has quickly become a populist firebrand in the upper legislative chamber. While the Ohio Senator was once a critic of Trump—prior to his election in 2016—Vance has emerged recently as one of the former president’s fiercest defenders.
A HILLBILLY VENTURE CAPITALIST.
Before his run for office, Sen. Vance was best known as a venture capitalist in the tech industry and an author, publishing a moving retrospective on his upbringing in Appalachian Ohio entitled: Hillbilly Elegy: A Memoir of a Family and Culture in Crisis. The memoir was later made into a 2020 film directed by Ron Howard, starring Glenn Close and Amy Adams.
Born in 1984 in Middletown, Ohio—nestled between Cincinnati and Dayton—Vance is a graduate of Yale Law School and a former principal with Peter Thiel‘s venture capital firm, Mithril Capital. While Vance initially considered a run for the U.S. Senate in Ohio against the Democrat incumbent Sherrod Brown during the 2018 midterm elections, the Ohio Republican decided to wait until 2022. That year, Vance defeated former Congressman Tim Ryan (D-OH) in a close and hard-fought race for the U.S. Senate.
THE POPULIST PICK.
Earlier this year, The National Pulse held a straw poll of our readership to determine who Trump should name as his running mate. Vance was, by and large, the runaway favorite, securing 32 percent support. This was more than double the support of the runner-ups, Ben Carson and Vivek Ramaswamy, who both polled at 14 percent.
A critic of the unconditional support of the Biden government for Ukraine, Vance has noted that the country suffers a lack of manpower. By throwing billions of dollars in weapons and equipment into Ukraine’s conflict with Russia, the Western nations—including the United States—are only prolonging the war’s death and suffering.
VANCE ON UKRAINE.
“Ukraine needs more soldiers than it can field, even with draconian conscription policies. And it needs more matériel than the United States can provide,” Vance wrote in The New York Times, refuting Joe Biden’s allegations that the only obstacle to Ukrainian victory is conservatives’ reluctance to authorize open-ended U.S. taxpayer funding for the war.
“Biden has failed to articulate even basic facts about what Ukraine needs and how this aid will change the reality on the ground,” Vance noted, adding, “$60 billion is a fraction of what it would take to turn the tide in Ukraine’s favor.”
TAKING ON HIGHER ED.
The Ohio Republican has also called for tighter controls on U.S. universities receiving taxpayer dollars—noting that the far-left capture of academic institutions has resulted in poor education and the waste of American taxpayer dollars. Additionally, Vance’s opposition to a Congressional ban on bump stocks—a modification that can be made to firearms to increase stability and aim—drew an unhinged response from the New York Times in late June.
In choosing Vance as his vice presidential nominee, former President Trump is laying the groundwork for the future of the Republican Party and the national populist movement. A formidable ticket with working-class appeal, Trump-Vance promises to put the very best of American populism against Joe Biden and Kamala Harris in November’s election.

Liberal celebrities, journalists, and politicians, up to and including the sitting president, had been steadily intensifying incitement against Donald Trump prior to the assassination attempt against him on Saturday.
CELEBRITIES.
Hollywood liberals have been threatening violence or wishing violence upon Trump for years. Among others, Robert De Niro called Trump a “dog” and a “pig” in 2016, seething about wanting to “punch him in the face.”
The alleged comedienne Kathy Griffin infamously posed with a bloody model of Trump’s severed head in 2017. She claimed to be remorseful after receiving backlash—and a drop in job offers—but repeated the stunt in 2023.
Theater director Oskar Eustis put on a version of Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar portraying the Roman leader as Trump, complete with a bloody assassination, the same year.
While in the United Kingdom in 2017, Johnny Depp asked a festival audience, “When was the last time an actor assassinated a president? … [I]t’s been a while and maybe it’s time”—referencing the murder of Abraham Lincoln by John Wilkes Booth.
Previously, Madonna had said she “thought an awful lot about blowing up the White House” at the 2017 Women’s March.
Mickey Rourke, like De Niro, spoke of his desire to give Trump a “left hook from hell” on multiple occasions, most recently in 2019.
JOURNALISTS.
The corporate media has been inciting the public against Trump for many years, ramping up its efforts with particular intensity in recent weeks as he rises in the polls.
Earlier this month, The New Republic ran a cover portraying Trump as Adolf Hitler, complete with mustache, under the strapline ‘American fascism,’ insisting he is “damn close enough, and we’d better fight.”
In December, Jeff Bezos’s Washington Post ran an article titled, ‘Yes, it’s OK to compare Trump to Hitler.’
On July 2, The Huffington Post website ran an article on the Supreme Court’s ruling that presidents have a presumption of immunity from prosecution—if not impeachment—for official acts with the headline, ‘Supreme Court Gives Joe Biden The Legal OK To Assassinate Donald Trump.’
Similarly, BBC presenter David Aaronovitch responded to the ruling with a “satirical” social media post recommending that Biden should “hurry up and have Trump murdered on the basis that he is a threat to America’s security.”
Joe Scarborough of MSNBC’s Morning Joe issued an unhinged rant in November warning Trump was “running to end American democracy” and would exile, imprison, and even “execute” his opponents once reelected.
POLITICIANS.
Politicians have also played a prominent role in stirring up fear and hatred against Trump, largely by scaremongering about him becoming a dictator.
“It’s just unquestionable at this point that that man cannot see public office again. He is not only unfit, he is destructive to our democracy, and he has to be eliminated,” Democrat Rep. Dan Goldman recently told former Biden press secretary Jen Psaki, in a clip that has been widely recirculated following Saturday’s assassination attempt.
Robert Kagan, the war hawk neoconservative husband of war hawk former Biden official Victoria Nuland, wrote a 6,000-word essay declaring that a “Trump dictatorship is increasingly inevitable,” adding: “When a marauder is crashing through your house, you throw everything you can at him—pots, pans, candlesticks—in the hope of slowing him down and tripping him up.”
In April, Rep. Bennie G. Thompson (D-MS), Ranking Member of the Committee on Homeland Security, actually put forward legislation to strip anyone sentenced to a year or more in prison for a federal or state felony of Secret Service protection, in anticipation of a possible prison sentence for Trump in Manhattan. This was widely interpreted as a move to make it easier for someone to kill him.
In 2017, Democratic state senator Maria Chappelle-Nadal of Missouri posted, “I hope Trump is assassinated!” on Facebook. Congressman Maxine Waters said she wanted to “go and take Trump out” the same year.
As long ago as 2015, Lincoln Project co-founder Rick Wilson said the “GOP donor class” was “going to have to go out and put a bullet in” then-candidate Trump.
BIDEN.
Perhaps no politician has done as much to incite the public against Trump as Joe Biden. The incumbent, up to the day of the assassination attempt, was posting on social media that Trump means to become a dictator.
On July 5, referencing the aforementioned immunity ruling, he claimed the former president “really could” become a dictator if reelected.
“Donald Trump is a genuine threat to this nation. He’s a threat to our freedom. He’s a threat to our democracy,” he said on June 28, adding: “He’s literally a threat to everything America stands for.”
It is a theme he has been playing on for years: “Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans are a threat to the very soulofthis country,” he posted in 2022.
Biden uses similarly inflammatory rhetoric in private, telling donors in a July 8 call reported by the press: “It’s time to put Trump in a bullseye.”

Donald Trump says “we hear” Joe Biden’s Justice Department plans to abandon its campaign to imprison him. This follow’s Trump’s shooting by a would-be assassin in Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday.
Trump told the press Biden was “very nice” to him in a phone call following the shooting, which left Trump supporter Corey Comperatore dead and two others critically injured. He has changed his planned speech attacking Biden’s “corrupt, horrible administration” at the Republican National Convention because he “want[s] to try to unite our country.”
“The doctor at the hospital said he never saw anything like this; he called it a miracle,” Trump said, adding: “I’m not supposed to be here; I’m supposed to be dead. I’m supposed to be dead.”
He was full of praise for the Secret Service—which has been criticized for allowing the attack to happen in the first place—and his supporters at the rally: “A lot of places, especially soccer games, you hear a single shot, everybody runs. Here there were many shots and they stayed,” he said of the rallygoers. “I love them. They are such great people.”
He also signaled his intention to attend Comperatore’s funeral, and visit the other victims in hospital.
Federal prosecutions of Trump by special counsel Jack Smith are currently stalled due to issues with the cases against the former president. A prosecution mounted by state-level Democrats in Georgia is also stalled.
A dubious state-level conviction of the America First leader still stands in Manhattan, New York, but it subject to appeal, and a sentence has not been handed down.

Joe Biden engaged in dangerous rhetoric in a call with donors on Monday, telling them: “We’re done talking about the debate; it’s time to put Trump in a bullseye.”
The 81-year-old Democrat made the comments about former President Donald J. Trump, who survived an assassination attempt yesterday, in a recording of a July 8 call with donors obtained by POLITICO.
Speaking to “hundreds” of leading donors and bundlers on his National Finance Committee, Biden said: “We need to move forward. Look, we have roughly 40 days til the convention, 120 days til the election. We can’t waste any more time being distracted.”
“I have one job, and that’s to beat Donald Trump. I’m absolutely certain I’m the best person to be able to do that. So, we’re done talking about the debate; it’s time to put Trump in a bullseye,” he declared.
Following the assassination attempt at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, which left Trump injured and at least one of his supporters dead, Biden issued a statement branding the attack “sick” and said there is “no place in America for this kind of violence.”
However, the Democrat threatened shortly before the shooting that Trump means to become a “dictator,” fueling fear and hatred of the America First leader on the radical left.

Reform Party leader Nigel Farage is flying out to America to support Donald Trump following the assassination attempt against him in Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday. The Brexit champion says he would have been at the rally where the shooting took place if not for his last-minute decision to stand for Parliament in Britain’s snap election on July 4.
“I will go and see my friend. I’ll listen to his acceptance speech at the [Republican National] Convention on Thursday, and I’ll do it not just as a friend, but I’ll do it because we have to stand up for democracy. We have to stand up for people to be able to campaign,” he said.
“If we don’t, we’re absolutely sunk.”
I will fly out to America this week to support my friend Donald Trump at the RNC.
Farage and Trump are longtime allies. In 2016, Trump supported Brexit, and Farage supported Trump on the campaign trail.
Farage was among the first people to meet with President-elect Trump after his victory over Hillary Clinton, Raheem Kassam, Editor-in-Chief of The National Pulse, and other leading Brexit supporters.
Trump congratulated Farage following his parliamentary breakthrough on July 4, calling him “a man who truly loves his country.”
Saturday’s assassination attempt saw Trump was struck in the ear by a rifleman, named by the authorities as Thomas Crooks of Bethel Park, PA. The National Pulse identified Crooks as a 2021 donor to the Progressive Turnout Project through the Democratic donation platform ActBlue.
While Trump has not been seriously wounded, supporters standing near him sustained more severe injuries, with at least one reported killed.

Former White House Chief Strategist and War Room host Stephen K. Bannon has issued a statement from jail on the assassination attempt against President Donald J. Trump, in comments made exclusively to The National Pulse.
Reacting in the immediate aftermath, Bannon, who forewarned of this, said: “I’ve warned about this very thing for over a year–an assassination attempt–the threat is real, very real. Thankfully, President Trump wears the Armor of God. Today, our leader showed total command presence, stood tall, and said ‘FIGHT’!”
Trump was shot at in a political assassination attempt during his rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday evening. Trump was hit by the bullet, shot by a man who had climbed atop a low roof on the outskirts of the rally grounds. Law enforcement returned fire immediately after the former President was struck, rendering the shooter dead. A rally-going Trump supporter also appears to have been murdered by one of the shooter’s bullets. Their identity is not known at the time of publication.
Around nine shots were heard minutes into Trump’s speech in Butler, PA, with the Secret Service surrounding him and escorting him off the premises as President Trump got to his feet, bloodied in the ear, audibly yelling, “Fight! Fight! Fight!” towards the alarmed crowd.

Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk has reportedly donated to a political action committee (PAC) aimed at electing former President Donald Trump. The donation to America PAC, which can collect unlimited contributions for political activities, is described as “sizable” by individuals familiar with the matter. The PAC is required to disclose its donors by July 15.
Musk, who has been vocal in his criticism of President Joe Biden, has previously denied backing any presidential candidates. On March 6, Musk stated on social media, “Just to be super clear, I am not donating money to either candidate for US President.”
In March, Trump met with Musk and other affluent donors, leading Musk to declare publicly that he had not made any donations to presidential campaigns. Again denying political involvement in May, Musk refuted reports suggesting he could serve in an advisory role under a potential Trump administration.
Historically, Musk has not been a heavy political donor, although he has financially supported “uniparty” Republican and Democratic politicians, including Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Marco Rubio, George W. Bush, and John Kerry. His companies, Tesla and SpaceX, have benefited from federal contracts and subsidies.
Musk’s relationship with the Biden government has been strained since Tesla was excluded from a White House electric vehicle summit in 2021. Following this, Musk encouraged his social media followers to vote Republican in the 2022 midterms. After acquiring Twitter in 2022, Musk reinstated Trump’s account.

Major Democratic Party donors are telling Future Forward, the leftist super PAC supporting Joe Biden‘s re-election campaign, that they are putting $90 million in pledged funds on hold if the 81-year-old incumbent remains at the top of the party’s presidential ticket. The now-frozen pledged funds account for over one-third of Future Forward’s $250 million in ad reservations for the November election—the largest single campaign expenditure in U.S. history.
According to reports, the frozen SuperPAC funds include several eight-figure commitments from major donors who have backed Biden in the past.
Additionally, the SuperPAC is allegedly pulling back on campaign commitments until it is certain as to who the Democrat Pary’s 2024 presidential nominee will be. An internal post-debate survey for Future Foward by progressive pollster OpenLabs showed former President Donald J. Trump defeating Biden in an electoral landslide. Meanwhile, the pro-Biden SuperPAC has also been quietly polling other potential Democrat candidates against former President Trump.
The Biden campaign has faced increasing pressure from Democrat donors, national party leaders, lawmakers on Capitol Hill, and liberal Hollywoodcelebrities demanding Joe Biden drop out of the presidential race following his disastrous and impaired debate performance on June 27.
The National Pulse reported yesterday that Democratic disillusionment with the 81-year-old Biden has reached his White House and campaign inner circle. “He needs to drop out,” an anonymous Biden campaign official said regarding mounting concerns about Biden’s cognitive decline, adding: “He will never recover from this.”
In addition, the Biden campaign is scrambling to head off a potential floor rebellion among angry delegates at the Democratic Party’s national convention in August.

Global media and leaders have not been to Joe Biden in their assessment of his “big boy” press conference at the NATO summit in Washington, D.C., with many arguing he should exit the presidential race.
Britain’s Economist magazine, which recently called for Biden to drop out, ran with the ambivalent headline, ‘Biden survives his “big boy” press conference.’
The Telegraphargued that Biden’s gaffes throughout the summit “ruined” months of hard work by European diplomats and undermined the entire event.
Similarly, TheDaily Mailran with, ‘Biden flubs lines, meanders and makes excruciating gaffe in “big boy” press conference that leaves his reelection bid on life support.’
Italy’s Il Giornale noted how Biden had introduced Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky with the words, “Ladies and gentlemen, President Putin.”
Germany’s Bild newspaper, the largest in the country, questioned Biden’s behavior with the headline, ‘Are these slips of the tongue or is it old age?’
In Australia, the Sydney Morning Herald ran with the headline, ‘Shaky answers and gaffes: Biden’s latest showing won’t stem the bleeding.’ New Zealand’s NZ Herald also called the presser “gaffe-prone.”
One of the biggest gaffes of the presser saw Biden refer to Vice President Kamala Harris as “Vice President Trump.”
