Donald Trump is planning a return to Butler, Pennsylvania, where he previously faced an assassination attempt, for another campaign rally. The former president has announced that this event will honor Corey Comperatore, a firefighter who lost his life during the July 13 shooting. Trump will also pay tribute to the other rallygoers who were injured but survived the attack.
During the previous rally, Thomas Matthew Crooks opened fire on Trump, injuring his right ear before being taken down by Secret Service counter-snipers. This incident, which revealed a significant security lapse, resulted in the resignation of Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle following intense scrutiny from Congress.
While a specific date for the Butler event has yet to be announced, it is expected that the rally will be held indoors, following the Secret Service’s new guidelines since the shooting. Trump hinted at the heightened security measures in a social media post, encouraging his followers to “fight, fight, fight” and promising more details soon.
