WATCH: “AS I WAS SAYING…” – President Trump Opens Butler, PA Rally Showing Illegal Immigration Chart that Saved His Life, Delivers “One Simple Message”
President Trump opened his Butler, Pennsylvania rally on Saturday defiantly proclaiming “As I was saying,” then proceeding to show the illegal immigration chart that saved his life by less than an inch.
Today, President Trump made his historic return to Butler Farm Show Inc., the rally venue where would-be assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks shot multiple rounds into the crowd from an unsecured rooftop and hit President Trump in the ear.
Had President Trump not turned his head left toward the big screen, which showed a chart of illegal immigration when he left office vs. when Biden and Kamala took over and opened the border, he’d have been killed by a headshot. “It was an act of God. I was very lucky,” said Trump.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, thousands upon thousands turned out to see President Trump’s return to Butler.

This rally is unlike any other. As President Trump stated in his opening remarks, “I return to Butler in the aftermath of tragedy and heartache to deliver a simple message to the people of Pennsylvania and to the people of America.”
When Crooks opened fire on July 13, he murdered a hero named Corey Comperatore, who jumped in front of his family and paid the ultimate sacrifice. Corey Comperatore has been and continues to be honored throughout the program.
The big screens beside the stage feature an image of the unforgotten hero, captioned "In loving memory of Corey Comperatore."
Additionally, Painter Scott Lobaido created a masterpiece American flag speed painting dedicated to Comperatore and unveiled a hidden image of him on the canvas upon completion:
However, despite the tragedy, President Trump delivered a powerful message to the country: "Our movement to Make America Great Again stands stronger, prouder, more united, more determined and nearer to victory than ever before. We are going to Make America Great Again and win the election."
This is true, as seen during the rally. Shortly after President Trump began speaking, the crowd sang the Star-Spangled Banner, and Trump sang along.
Watch below:
Trump: Thank you very much, really. And thank you, a very big thank you, to Pennsylvania. We love Pennsylvania.
And as I was saying… I love that chart. I love that graph. Isn’t it a beautiful thing? But also beautiful because look at that number. That’s the day I left office. It was the lowest—Border Patrol, the lowest it’s ever been. Illegal immigration, today it’s out of control. But I love it for other reasons too, you know that. So, thank you very much and thank Lee and what Lee has done with that song. It’s such an honor to have it. I want to just let you know that tonight I return to Butler in the aftermath of tragedy and heartache to deliver a simple message to the people of Pennsylvania and to the people of America: Our movement to Make America Great Again stands stronger, prouder, more united, more determined and nearer to victory than ever before. We are going to Make America Great Again and win the election.
