Former President Donald Trump uttered words on Saturday that summed up the reason for his second visit to Butler, PA.
"As I was saying," Trump said to loud cheers in the crowd, referencing his return to the stage where he nearly lost his life in Butler, Pennsylvania.
Several months ago, Thomas Crooks attempted to assassinate Trump at a campaign rally. Another rallygoer, firefighter Corey Comperatore, was killed and two were seriously injured before a Secret Service counter sniper shot Crooks.
"At this time, it is 6:11, 12 weeks to the minute, that he shooting began, I would like to ask everyone to join me in a moment of silence," Trump said to tolling bells and Ave Maria. Trump went on:
"Exactly 12 weeks ago, this evening, on this very ground, a cold blooded assassin aimed to silence me and to silence the greatest movement, MAGA, in the history of our country… For 16 harrowing seconds during the gunfire, time stopped as this vicious monster unleashed pure evil from his sniper's perch, not so far away, but by the hand of Providence and the grace of God, that villain did not succeed in his goal."
"He did not come close. He did not stop our movement. He did not break [out] our spirit. He did not shake our unyielding resolve to save America from the evils of poverty, hatred, and destruction. Yet we are here this evening in record numbers," he said.
"I also want to express our thanks to the Butler Township Police Department, incredible people, the Butler Sheriff's deputies, Pennsylvania State Police and all of the other law enforcement heroes, as well as the emergency personnel and doctors the medical teams at Butler Memorial Hospital, Allegheny General Hospital, who rushed me and rushed some of these very badly wounded people that were wounded," he said.
"I'm not just MAGA. I'm dark MAGA," Elon Musk identified himself on Saturday at the campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania - the former president's triumphant return to the site where he was nearly assassinated.
Musk made his first-ever appearance at a Trump rally after several months of declaring his support for the Republican candidate online. "I want to say what an honor it is to be here," said Musk, the South Africa-born tech billionaire who bought Twitter (now renamed X) over free speech concerns.
"And you know, the true test of someone's character is how they behave under fire," Musk praised former President Trump.
Several months ago, a 20-year-old Pennsylvania man named Thomas Crooks attempted to assassinate Trump at a campaign rally in Butler. One round from his rifle barely missed the former president's brain, striking his ear. Three other rally attendees were shot - one fatally, a retired firefighter named Corey Comperatore - before a Secret Service counter sniper killed Crooks.
"We had one president who couldn't climb a flight of stairs, and another who was fist pumping after getting shot," Musk drew a contrast between Trump and President Joe Biden. "Blood coming down the face."
"Fight, fight, fight," he chanted, pumping up the crowd with the phrase Trump said upon being shot.
"This is no ordinary election," Musk continued. "The other side wants to take away your freedom of speech."
"Free speech is the bedrock of democracy. And if people don't know what's going on, if they don't know the truth, how can you, how can you make an informed vote?" Musk asked.
"You must have free speech in order to have democracy. That's why it's the First Amendment. And the Second Amendment is there to ensure that we have the First Amendment."
"Trump must win to preserve the Constitution. He must win to preserve democracy in America," he said. "This is a must-win situation."
"Register to vote," he said. "Make sure they actually do vote."
"If they don't, this will be the last election," he added.
Comments
Given the number of people who rabidly want him dead, he has to have Divine protection to have lived this long. The criminals in the US Government, its Think-Tanks, and their Puppeteers better realize that if something happens to Trump, or another election is stolen, the patriots of America will not stand for it.
