Reform's leader described having a “pretty sleepless night worrying about my friend” following the shooting at a Pennsylvania rally.
Clacton's MP also said he “almost certainly” would have attended the deadly rally had he not won his seat at the general election.
Mr Farage, 60, said: “It shouldn’t be normal to throw cement, rocks or drinks at me. And yet, for many on the Left, the language of violence has become their last resort. And we’re now seeing the consequences.

“Which is why, next week, I will be travelling to Milwaukee to the Republican Convention. I do so to support my friend, Donald Trump, as we head into the later stages of an era-defining election. He is the favourite to win – and after today’s heinous acts he will win – and I am determined to do all I can to ensure the UK’s special relationship with the US is as strong as it can be.”
He added: “But I do so for something bigger. To stand shoulder to shoulder with President Trump and the US to stand up for democracy. To say, loud and clear, that we can disagree vehemently, that we can debate, that we can thrash out of views But that resorting to violence is entirely unacceptable, regardless of your views.

“President Trump had a very, very narrow miss. It is a miracle. I implore all of those on the Left to think very carefully about how they seek to play politics. Next time, it could be very, very different.”
Mr Farage spoke at several rallies during Mr Trump’s 2016 campaign and is planning for “a couple of flying visits” this year ahead of the US election in November.
The Reform MP who was at the men's final at Wimbledon today said he was concerned about what had happened to the Republican.
Mr Farage, speaking to the Express ahead of watching Carlos Alcaraz take on Novak Djokovic, said: "It's been a pretty sleepless night worrying about my friend.

"But he's okay but others aren't but yes I will try and forget about it for a couple of hours."
Mr Farage, who had a milkshake and wet cement thrown at him during the election campaign, described how he was “very upset” but “not shocked” following the attack on Mr Trump.

He added: "I almost certainly would have been there. It’s the convention next week and I have now decided I will fly out and see him next Thursday and listen to his acceptance speech.
“I will absolutely do that as a show of friendly solidarity. Donald Trump is not perfect, but some of the things that are allowed to be said about him are frankly appalling.”
