BUTLER, Pa. — For his supporters, Donald Trump’s triumphant return Saturday to the site where a would-be assassin’s bullet came within inches of ending his life perfectly encapsulated the grit and tenacity that has made the Republican presidential nominee a political savior in the eyes of millions.
The small city of Butler before the shooting was just another one of the countless blue-collar communities across the nation that have abandoned Democrats in favor of Mr. Trump’s populist message.
After the shooting, Butler is a symbol of Mr. Trump’s campaign — and more than that, his life.
Mr. Trump used the dramatic backdrop this weekend to promise voters that he would remain resolute in his mission to “rescue” the U.S. from a “failed and very corrupt” political establishment and revive American prosperity.
“I will never quit, I will never bend, I will never break. I will never yield — not even in the face of death itself,” Mr. Trump said, standing behind bulletproof glass.
“Over the past eight years, those who want to stop us from achieving this future have slandered me, impeached me, indicted me, tried to throw me off the ballot and — who knows — maybe even tried to kill me,” Mr. Trump said.
Mr. Trump narrowly escaped death at his July 13 rally at the Butler rally after 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks opened fire.
A bullet in the attack grazed Mr. Trump. Secret Service agents quickly encircled him. He emerged, blooded, raised his fist and shouted, “Fight! Fight! Fight!”
Corey Comperatore, a volunteer firefighter in the crowd, died shielding his wife and child in the stands behind the former president. Two more people were seriously injured. On Saturday, Comperatore was hailed as a “hero.”

You said it!
Two outstanding moments:
# 1 - Describing fallen hero Corey as “running one last time into the flames” followed by a moment of silence, the tolling of a bell, and the singing of Schubert’s “Ave Maria”,
# 2 - About a four minute pause when an attendee suffered a medical emergency...toward the end the crowd spontaneously sang the National Anthem.
These are America’s finest.
For the MSM-Democrats, it doesn't mean anything, except for an opportunity squandered.
I’m happy for Trump and his team, that all went well in Butler, Pennsylvania this weekend.
Just guessing that any secret service agents who were there in July were not there today.
Did you know I had a link to the brief go ahead try to shoot me in the nose scene in Patton when I commented on the terrorists in Iran hiding out in fear in case Israel targets more of them?
I’ll take Trump.
Trump needs to say over and over that 5 days before he was shot, biden gave a speech where he said “It’s time to put trump in the bullseye.”!!! Even snopes agrees he said it.

Why has trump let that issue die? The POTUS made a death threat against his rival!
“as I was saying”
Hilarious, nsfw
There goes $150.
Poor ol’ Joe isn’t responsible for anything he’s just a confused puppet.
Robert Hur said so….
No that Joe’s been tossed aside, why can’t we hear the Hur tapes?
👍🤣😂
After thinking about it, it looks scripted/faked to me. It’s too perfect, and we don’t actually see the perforated tire.
There were a few comments that leaned that way.
Regardless, as the illiberal left wing nut's claim, "it coulda happened."
If this is true, why in the hell would you post this. I guess 15 minutes of fame “Trumps” all
True or not I am sure it happens, the left have lost what little of their minds they had left
