The assassination attempt on Donald Trump was just ten weeks ago. Trump was injured and a visitor was killed. Now the ex-president wants to show himself again in Butler.
The Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump wants to appear again at the beginning of October in the same place in the state of Pennsylvania where he was the victim of an assassination attempt in mid-July. The ex-president’s campaign team announced a rally on October 5th at the site in Butler where he was shot. The 78-year-old wanted to remember the man who was killed in the attack and the two people who were injured, it was said. He also wanted to thank the security and rescue forces for their efforts.
An assassin shot Trump at a Republican Party campaign event in Butler in July. One visitor died and two others were injured. Trump was injured by a bullet in his right ear. The perpetrator was killed by security forces.
Assassination attempt on Donald Trump in Pennsylvania: One story became many
Shortly after the attack, Trump appeared at the Republican Party Convention in Milwaukee in July, where he was ceremoniously named the party’s presidential candidate. There he spoke in detail about the attack on him and explained: “You won’t hear it from me a second time because it’s actually too painful to tell.” In fact, hardly a campaign appearance goes by without Trump mentioning the assassination attempt. He often emphasizes that he has “taken a bullet for democracy.”
Just a few days ago there was another incident: The Secret Service shot an armed man at Trump’s golf course in the state of Florida who was hiding in the bushes while the ex-president was playing there. The suspect himself did not fire a bullet and fled, but was arrested and charged a short time later. The authorities assume that he also wanted to assassinate Trump.
