Former President Donald Trump is returning to the location where an attempted assassination of him took place.
Trump will speak at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday, Oct. 5, “on the very same ground where he came within a quarter of an inch of losing his life less than three months ago,” per the campaign’s press release.
This will be Trump’s first time back at the location since a bullet grazed his ear on July 13.
The Republican presidential candidate will honor Corey Comperatore’s memory, who was killed during the attempted assassination. Comperatore “heroically sacrificed his life to shield his wife and daughters from the bullets on that terrible day.” Trump will also recognize two others who were wounded that day, along with expressing gratitude to the law enforcement, first responders, and community.
“President Trump’s return to Butler will stand as a tribute to the American spirit,” the press release reads.
It continues:
“In America, we do not let monsters like that evil assassin have the last word. Every time our nation is struck by attack or hardship, we rally, we persevere, and we prevail. When terrorists knocked down our towering skyscrapers, we rebuilt taller. When our communities are ravaged by fire, storm, or natural disaster, we pull together and come back stronger. And when a shooter attacked our democracy and tried to end this movement, President Trump will return to the site, joined by tens of thousands of proud citizens, and together, they will celebrate a unifying vision for America’s future in an event like the world has never seen before.
After not one, but two attempts on his life in the past nine weeks, President Trump is more determined than ever to see his mission through to the end. In that Butler field on July 13th, he took a bullet for democracy—and on November 5th, he is going to save our democracy. With the help of the amazing people of Pennsylvania and citizens all across our land, we will make America safer, stronger, freer, and greater than ever before.”
