Former President Donald Trump is returning to the Butler, Pennsylvania fairgrounds where he narrowly survived an assassination attempt back in July.
Trump was in the middle of his speech at the huge outdoor rally on July 13 when a gunman opened fire while perched atop a nearby building. Miraculously, Trump turned his head just as the bullet whizzed by, resulting in him only getting shot in the ear. Three other rally attendees were shot, one fatally. The gunman was then killed by a counter sniper.
Trump will return to hold another rally at the same location on Saturday. He is scheduled to speak at 5:00 p.m.
A press release posted on Trump’s website confirms many special guests will be in attendance at the event, including X owner Elon Musk, who publicly endorsed Trump just moments after the the July 13 assassination attempt.
“I will be there to support!” Musk confirmed in a post on X late Thursday night.

“Trump/Vance MUST win. I can’t handle 4 years of seeing and hearing Kamala/Walz. That would be cruel and unusual punishment!” Musk wrote in a post on Wednesday.
