Trump Revisits Butler, Pennsylvania, Months After Surviving Assassination Plot
by KalingaTV Bureau · KalingaTVPennsylvania: Former US President Donald Trump is returning back to Butler, Pennsylvania on Saturday, three months after surviving an assassination attempt. The attempt on Trump’s life was staged in one of his presidential campaign rallies. However, Trump will come forward in public during his last month of campaigns against President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz.
The follow-up campaign rally will be held at Butler Farm Show grounds, adding to the campaign. As reported, Ohio Senator JD Vance and billionaire Elon Musk are said to join Trump’s Presidential campaign. Organizers confirmed that many thousands of people will be a part of the rally to pay tribute to the “American Spirit.”
The shoot out took place in July at the rally time in Butler when a gunman started firing from a rooftop nearby the rally location, which led to the injury of Trump and three others accompanying him. Luckily enough, the bullet just grazed Trump’s ear and there was no severe damage as such, and he was escorted off the stage immediately and taken to safety while blood ran down his face.
Before the police managed to shoot and kill the 20-year-old gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks, he had already premeditatively killed Corey Comperatore, a volunteer firefighter, and wounded David Dutch and James Copenhaver.
After Trump returned back to Butler, he was asked if the decision of coming back to the same place where there was an attempt murder at his life was difficult. Trump responded to all these questions by insisting that he will comeback acknowledging security concerns. He playfully introduced “As I was saying” as a reference to his last interrupted speech during the rally.
Local Police and authorities allegedly confirmed that the security for this rally would be very harsh and heavily equipped. Even Butler County Sheriff Mike Slupe confirmed that the Secret Service is sending in four times of the assets and resources compared to the last rally event in July.
Even after his immense popularity in Butler county, the base ground on which he achieved 66% of major votes in 2016 as well as 2020 some area residents are not very happy with comeback. Heidi Priest who is a local supporter of Vice President Kamala Harris said that Trump coming back just adds fuel to the fire.
