Donald Trump, the former president, has stated that he intends to visit the Pennsylvanian town where he was almost assassinated two weeks ago. Trump posted on Truth Social to announce the Butler County rally. According to Trump, the event will pay tribute to both the two injured parties and Corey Comperatore, who lost his life in the gunshot on July 13.
Donald Trump stated, “I WILL CONTINUE TO DO OUTDOOR RALLIES, AND SECRET SERVICE HAS AGREED TO SUBSTANTIALLY STEP UP THEIR OPERATION. THEY ARE VERY CAPABLE OF DOING SO. NO ONE CAN EVER BE ALLOWED TO STOP OR IMPEDE FREE SPEECH OR GATHERING!!! “
Thomas Matthew Crooks opened fire from an adjacent roof, wounding Trump in the ear. Although the shooting’s motivation is yet unknown, the Secret Service head resigned earlier this week under fire for security failings connected to the event.
In an all-caps tweet on his Truth Social platform, Trump announced the “big and beautiful” gathering, stating that it will be “honoring the soul of our beloved firefighting hero, Corey, and those brave patriots injured two weeks ago.” He did not specify the date of the rally.
The former president paid tribute to Comperatore at the convention. Comperatore was a volunteer firefighter who, according to officials, saved his wife and kids from the gunshots in his last moments. As the Secret Service hurried him off stage, Trump’s response to the shooting—standing and pumping his right fist and mouthing “Fight” to the Butler crowd—became a catchphrase at the Republican convention and in his subsequent campaign appearances.
After the murder attempt, Trump and his allies used the Republican convention to make unity calls. But in his speech on the last night of the convention, Trump reverted to his well-known criticisms of Democratic opponents, which he has since reiterated at campaign rallies.
