Donald Trump returned to the site of his July assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania, to rally his supporters, suggesting political opponents may have tried to kill him to stop his presidential campaign.

Joined by Elon Musk, Trump used the event to evoke emotional responses and reinforce his image as a martyr.

The rally featured heightened security and memorials for victims, including a firefighter killed during the shooting.

Trump claimed the incident illustrated a “cold-blooded” attempt to silence him and the MAGA movement.

Despite the somber backdrop, he shifted focus to familiar campaign themes, with Musk urging supporters to ensure Trump’s victory to preserve democracy, The Guardian has reported.

The event highlighted a blend of political strategy and emotional appeal in the lead-up to the election.
