Supporters praised former President Trump for returning to Butler, Pennsylvania following the July assassination attempt, saying that it was «courageous» and «gutsy.»
– Pumped-up spectators poured into the Butler, Pennsylvania Fair Grounds on Saturday, saying that it was «gutsy» for former President Donald Trump to make an appearance at the location where he was nearly assassinated.
Trump is set to appear at the site where he was nearly killed in a deadly July 13 shooting, with the Republican presidential nominee slated to speak at 5 p.m.
Supporters decked out American flags and Trump slogans shared with Fox News Digital that Trump’s return to the site was «gutsy.»
«I think it’s gutsy. It really shows strength to the people that he’s here, and he’s not hiding», 21-year-old River Jager, from Buffalo, Ohio, said.
«If anyone else got shot at, they would duck away», he said. «Instead of running off, he got his composure and pulled himself together to show us he was all right.»
Father-daughter duo, 44-year-old Tom Bye and 19-year-old Brooke Bye, said that Trump’s return proved that «he’s doing this for us», saying that his actions «speaks volumes.»
«He’s not afraid. He’s doing it for us. He doesn’t have to. He speaks for the people, the way people speak», Tom said. «It speaks volumes, he’s not going to run and hide.»
«He’s coming back to show that he’s strong», Brooke said.
The pair shared their hope for change under a Trump administration, saying that the «country is going downhill.»
«If he doesn’t become president now, this country is not going to be able to be saved», Tom said. «It’s time for a change.»
Brooke echoed her father’s sentiment, citing the rise in illegal immigration as her top voting issue.
«It needs to be changed», she said.
