WATCH LIVE: President Trump Makes HISTORIC Return to Butler, Pennsylvania Rally Site Where He Was Shot In Failed Assassination Attempt – Elon Musk and Others to Join
President Trump makes his historic return to Butler Farm Show Inc. in Butler, Pennsylvania tonight at 5 pm ET to finish his July 13 speech, which was abruptly interrupted by an attempt on his life.
Recognizing the significance of this event, it is truly perhaps the most iconic political rally in American history. President Trump, in an act of defiance after dodging his would-be assassin’s bullet, has returned to the site of the attempt on his life to hold a rally unlike any other!
Thousands were lined up early in the morning to see President Trump speak at 5 pm. At at approximately 8 am ET, the line stretched nearly half a mile away from the entrance as attendees filed in.
WATCH:
During his last speech in Butler, Trump was shot in the ear by Thomas Matthew Crooks mid-rally, and he immediately ducked for cover as counter-snipers took the shooter out. Iconically, Trump stood up moments later and began pumping his fist, chanting, “Fight, fight, fight.”
Watch the historic moment when Trump–after being stuck by a bullet–told the Secret Service agents, “Wait, wait” before sticking his fist in the air and receiving enormous applause from attendees:
A look at the crowd from Trump Force One shows tens of thousands gathered to see Trump’s return.
Today’s program opened with an incredible show of paratroopers dropping into the Butler Farm Show fairground carrying an American flag:
One rallygoer, Corey Comperatore, was killed in the July 13 shooting, and two were injured.
The big screens beside the stage feature an image of the unforgotten hero and first responder, who dove in front of bullets to protect his family.
Crooks fired the shot on top of a nearby building, where Secret Service counter snipers had a clear view of the shooter from their position at a higher elevation than the shooter behind Trump, yet they did not act. Additionally, Crooks accessed the building with a ladder he bought at Home Depot the same day as the shooting, leaving many questions about how he went unnoticed or overlooked.
As The Gateway Pundit later reported, several people witnessed the shooter crawling on the roof of a local building with a rifle and warned law enforcement before Trump was shot, but the Secret Service did not act until Trump was shot. According to later reports, a police officer encountered the shooter on the roof but let him go after he pointed the gun at him and before he shot Trump. Investigations into the matter have left more questions than answers. For example, former Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle’s BS excuse for leaving the building unmonitored by agents was that the building “has a sloped roof at its highest point” and it wouldn’t be safe.
President Trump will be joined by the family of Corey Comperatore, who was killed in the shooting while protecting his family, various members of Congress, local law enforcement, and Elon Musk. It can be recalled that Elon Musk endorsed President Trump and became an ardent supporter of the President’s MAGA agenda within one hour of the rally shooting.
Corey Comperatore has been and continues to be honored throughout the program. Painter Scott Lobaido created a masterpiece American flag dedicated to Comperatore and unveiled an image of him on the canvas:
