When an armed man, reportedly carrying an AK-47, was found just 500 yards from former President Donald Trump during a round of golf, it was a close call that could have ended in tragedy. The Secret Service acted swiftly, and thankfully, Trump remained unharmed. But when the ladies of The View discussed this shocking incident, they didn’t address the root of the problem—the left’s unrelenting hate and vitriol toward Trump. Instead, they subtly spun the story, making it seem like political violence is an “across-the-board issue,” as if both sides are equally responsible.
This isn’t just frustrating—it’s downright dangerous. The View’s narrative is part of a larger effort by the mainstream media to mask the reality: the left’s hatred of Trump has reached a boiling point, and it’s manifesting in real threats to his life.
How The View Shifted the Narrative
On The View, the assassination attempt was discussed, but not given the context it deserved. Instead of discussing the very real and growing threat posed by left-wing extremists who have been radicalized by years of Trump-bashing, the ladies of The View took a different route. They pivoted to the old narrative of “both sides” being responsible for political violence.
Alyssa Farah, a former Trump administration official, even pointed out how difficult it is to secure a golf course. Sure, that’s a logistical challenge, but is that really the point? No. The issue isn’t how hard it is to secure a golf course. The issue is that someone felt justified in trying to kill a former president. And why? Because the left-wing media, including shows like The View, have spent years demonizing Trump, portraying him as an existential threat to democracy.
The Left’s Hate Machine
Let’s not beat around the bush. The left has been spewing hatred toward Trump since he first announced his candidacy in 2015. They’ve compared him to Hitler, labeled him a dictator, and painted his supporters as dangerous extremists and deplorables. This rhetoric isn’t harmless; it’s toxic. It creates a climate where violence against Trump is seen as justifiable by some.
According to a University of Chicago poll, 26 million Americans believe that violence is acceptable to stop Trump from regaining the presidency. That’s a shocking number, but it’s not surprising when you consider how the media has consistently vilified him. And yet, The View didn’t address this alarming statistic. Instead, they took the easy way out by blaming political violence on “both sides.”
A Veiled Attack on Trump’s Rhetoric
As always, The View couldn’t resist taking a swipe at Trump’s rhetoric. They implied that his tone and language somehow contribute to the violence directed at him, as if his speeches are inciting assassination attempts. This is classic gaslighting. Trump may speak bluntly, but that’s not an invitation for violence.
The real issue isn’t Trump’s rhetoric—it’s the left’s nonstop portrayal of him as a threat to democracy. For years, the mainstream media has pushed this narrative, and it’s only gotten worse. They’ve created an environment where violent acts against Trump are seen as not only acceptable but perhaps even necessary. Yet, this reality was completely ignored by the hosts of The View.
The Media’s Role in Fueling the Fire
The View, like much of the mainstream media, has played a significant role in fanning the flames of hatred toward Trump. For years, they’ve dedicated segments to attacking his character, mocking his policies, and questioning his legitimacy. They’ve labeled him a tyrant, a racist, and a misogynist. Is it any wonder that some people feel justified in using violence against him?
But when the assassination attempt came up, they glossed over this fact. Instead of having an honest conversation about how the media has contributed to the climate of hate, they diverted attention to other instances of political violence, like the attack on Nancy Pelosi’s husband, J6, and Gun Violence as a whole. While those were terrible events, they’re not part of a sustained media campaign to demonize a political figure. What’s happening to Trump is different, and it deserves to be treated as such.
The Dangerous Normalization of Violence Against Trump
The sad reality is that violence against Trump is becoming normalized. We’ve already seen multiple assassination attempts, and the media barely blinks. If this had been President Biden or Vice President Kamala Harris, the outrage would have been deafening. The media would have been calling for investigations, stricter security measures, and a crackdown on right-wing extremism. But when it’s Trump, they downplay it, offering only passing mentions before moving on to the next topic.
The left’s hate for Trump isn’t just political—it’s personal. They’ve painted him as the embodiment of evil, and for some people, that justifies violence. But the media refuses to acknowledge this. Instead, they push the narrative that political violence is an “all sides” issue, conveniently ignoring the fact that the left has spent years dehumanizing Trump.
The View’s Veiled Bias
Watching The View discuss this assassination attempt is a masterclass in media bias. Notice how they were careful with their words, never fully addressing the fact that Trump has been the target of left-wing hatred for years. Instead, they acted as though political violence is just a fact of life in modern America, something that happens to everyone.
But let’s be honest. This isn’t just happening to “everyone.” Trump has been uniquely targeted, not only by hitmen, but by the Justice System, and that’s because the left has made him their boogeyman. The media has spent years building a narrative that Trump is a threat to democracy, and now they’re reaping what they’ve sown. Yet, The View won’t admit this. They can’t, because to do so would be to acknowledge their own role in the problem.
Final Thoughts
Political violence is a serious issue, but not for the reasons The View would have you believe. The truth is that the left’s hatred of Trump has reached dangerous levels, and it’s being fueled by a media that refuses to take responsibility for the climate they’ve helped create. Shows like The View are part of the problem, not the solution.
The next time you hear them talking about political violence, pay close attention to how they frame the issue. They’ll talk about “both sides,” but they’ll never address the fact that the left’s vitriol toward Trump is what’s driving much of this violence. Until they do, we’ll continue to see more of the same: a media that downplays violence against Trump while amplifying anything that makes him look bad.
