Donald Trump plans to return to the place of his attempted assassination for a rally to honor slain supporter Corey Comperatore and those injured in the shooting.
Donald Trump said Friday he plans to return to Butler, Pennsylvania – the place where the former president survived an assassination attempt nearly two weeks ago – for a rally that will honor slain supporter Corey Comperatore and those injured in the shooting. Trump announced the “big and beautiful” rally in an all-caps post on his Truth Social platform, noting that the event would be “honoring the soul of our beloved firefighting hero, Corey, and those brave patriots injured two weeks ago.” He did not say when the rally would take place. Trump was minutes into his speech on July 13 when a gunman fired eight shots at the stage in Butler, a city north of Pittsburgh in one of the most important battleground states of the 2024 election. Trump’s right ear was bloodied, and he appeared days later at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee wearing a large white bandage over the injured ear. At the convention, the former president honored Comperatore, a volunteer firefighter who officials said protected his wife and children from the gunfire in his final moments. Trump’s reaction to the shooting – standing and raising his right fist while mouthing “Fight” to the Butler crowd as the Secret Service rushed him off stage – became a rallying cry at the Republican convention and in his campaign appearances since.
