Former President Donald Trump, the 2024 Republican presidential nominee, did not appreciate his speech being interrupted at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania on July 13… so he’s going back to finish it on Oct 5. 

Trump is returning to the very same spot where 20-year-old gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks shot at him from a nearby rooftop while he was on stage speaking on July 13.

The gunman was aiming for Trump’s head, but Trump just happened to turn his head as the bullet whizzed by, and it miraculously grazed his right ear instead. Sadly, Crooks also shot three other attendees in the stands behind Trump, killing one and wounding two others. Crooks was then shot and killed by a counter sniper.

The following announcement was posted on Trump’s website Wednesday afternoon:

On Saturday, October 5th, 2024, President Donald J. Trump will return to Butler, Pennsylvania to hold a rally on the very same ground where he came within a quarter of an inch of losing his life less than three months ago.

President Trump’s return to Butler will mark his first visit to the site of the attack since he was struck by an assassin’s bullet on July 13th—but was saved in what the world has recognized as an act of divine providence.

During his visit, President Trump will honor the memory of Corey Comperatore, who heroically sacrificed his life to shield his wife and daughters from the bullets on that terrible day. President Trump will also recognize the two other Americans who were wounded by the shooter, David Dutch and James Copenhaver. He will express his deep gratitude to law enforcement and first responders, and thank the entire community for their outpouring of love and support in the wake of the attack.

President Trump’s return to Butler will stand as a tribute to the American spirit. In America, we do not let monsters like that evil assassin have the last word. Every time our nation is struck by attack or hardship, we rally, we persevere, and we prevail. When terrorists knocked down our towering skyscrapers, we rebuilt taller. When our communities are ravaged by fire, storm, or natural disaster, we pull together and come back stronger. And when a shooter attacked our democracy and tried to end this movement, President Trump will return to the site, joined by tens of thousands of proud citizens, and together, they will celebrate a unifying vision for America’s future in an event like the world has never seen before.

After not one, but two attempts on his life in the past nine weeks, President Trump is more determined than ever to see his mission through to the end. In that Butler field on July 13th, he took a bullet for democracy—and on November 5th, he is going to save our democracy. With the help of the amazing people of Pennsylvania and citizens all across our land, we will make America safer, stronger, freer, and greater than ever before.
