Exciting news for all Trump supporters! Former President Donald Trump is set to hold a rally next month at the site in Butler County where he miraculously survived an assassination attempt on July 13.
The Trump campaign announced that the event, scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 5, will be a tribute to law enforcement, first responders, and the heroes of that fateful day. Corey Comperatore, a courageous firefighter who lost his life protecting his family, will be honored, along with David Dutch and James Copenhaver, who were wounded in the attack.

“President Trump’s return to Butler will stand as a tribute to the American spirit,” the campaign stated. “In America, we do not let monsters like that evil assassin have the last word.”
The rally is set to take place at the Butler Farm Show Grounds, located just 20 miles north of Pittsburgh.
Trump bravely endured a gunshot wound to his right ear during the attack by Thomas Matthew Crooks, who was swiftly neutralized by the Secret Service moments after opening fire from a rooftop outside the secure perimeter.
Recently, a Senate committee investigating the shooting and security lapses recommended critical changes to the Secret Service’s operations and budget after the incident, as reported by the Washington Post.
Additionally, the FBI is actively investigating another attempted assassination of Trump near his golf club in West Palm Beach, Florida. Ryan Routh has been indicted on federal gun charges and faces serious charges for attempting to assassinate a presidential candidate, which could result in a life sentence.
