Thousands of supporters returned to Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday to rally around Donald Trump at the same site where a gunman tried to assassinate him in July.
Trump’s campaign predicted that tens of thousands would attend the event, billed as a “tribute to the American spirit“, and hundreds were lining up as the sun rose. Speakers who took the stage ahead of the GOP nominee — who has characterized his return as a fulfillment of “an obligation” to Butler — recalled the details of the July 13 shooting, praised the former president’s courage and said God protected him that day, something Trump has also suggested about his surviving the attempt.
