In yet another legendary display of bravery and defiance in the face of near-death, President Trump has announced that he will be returning to Butler, Pennsylvania before the 2024 election.

The Trump/Vance campaign released a statement confirming that he will hold another rally in Butler on October 5th, exactly one month before the election, and he will finish the speech that he was giving when a would-be assassin’s bullet narrowly missed his head on July 13th. 

In addition to completing the speech that he intended to give, President Trump will also use the occasion to pay tribute to Corey Comperatore, the former fire chief who lost his life to one of the shooter’s bullets, as well as David Dutch and James Copenhaver, the two attendees who were critically injured but ultimately survived.

With the backdrop of a critical election and ongoing threats against his life – including a second assassination attempt just two months later – the somber rally on October 5th will be a reminder of just how much is truly at stake in this country, and just how fragile our republic really is. The spirit that President Trump will convey will be one of the resilience of the American spirit, and a belief that we can achieve the impossible, even in the face of overwhelming odds.

If July 13th was a reminder of how far we can fall as a civilization, and how close we can come to total destruction, then October 5th should serve as a reminder of what it means to get back up and keep fighting.

Trump Officially Announces Return to Butler

By Leah Barkoukis

Former President Donald Trump is heading back to Butler, Pennsylvania, hosting a rally at the site of the first assassination attempt on his life on Oct. 5.

“During his visit, President Trump will honor the memory of Corey Comperatore, who heroically sacrificed his life to shield his wife and daughters from the bullets on that terrible day,” he campaign said in a press release. “President Trump will also recognize the two other Americans who were wounded by the shooter, David Dutch and James Copenhaver.”

Comperatore’s wife and daughters are expected to attend the rally along with Dutch and Copenhaver, according to ABC News. 

The campaign said Trump will also “express his deep gratitude to law enforcement and first responders, and thank the entire community for their outpouring of love and support in the wake of the attack.”

“President Trump’s return to Butler will stand as a tribute to the American spirit,” the campaign said. “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 of America’s future in an event like the world has never seen before.”

The rally comes after a damning Senate report detailing the security failures on July 13, leading to Trump nearly losing his life and the severe injury and death of rally goers. 

“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,” the campaign statement added. “In that Butler field on July 13, 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.”
