Trump's return to Butler, Pennsylvania, site of first assassination attempt, is 'gutsy,' supporters say --Former President Trump is returning to Butler, Pennsylvania, to 'finish his speech' | 5 Oct 2024 | Pumped-up spectators poured into Butler Farm Show 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. EST. 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."
