donald trump is returning to the place in Pennsylvania where he almost lost his life, to pick up where he left off at his campaign rally before he was shot in the ear.
The Republican presidential candidate is coming to Butler, PA, to hold a rally Saturday for his supporters following the July 13 assassination attempt on the grounds of the Butler Farm Show — exactly where the horrific incident occurred nearly 3 months ago.

You must remember… Thomas Crooks rose to the roof of a building and fired a bullet that hit Trump’s right ear just inches from his skull while he was on stage giving a speech. A Secret Service agent shot Crooks to death, but not before the assailant shot and killed one attendee and injured two others.
On Wednesday, Trump told NewsNation he would return to Butler to fulfill his obligation to finish his rally.

Last weekend, Trump explained to a crowd at a rally in Eerie, Pennsylvania, that the Butler site was quickly becoming a “major tourist site,” promising to begin his speech on Saturday by saying, “As I was to say.”
As with anything with Trump, we’ll just have to see if that promise comes to fruition. But one thing is certain… he will mercilessly attack his Democratic opponent, Kamala Harris.

CNN reported that the Secret Service will beef up security around the event to prevent a repeat of the July 13 failures.
As you know, Trump was also the target of assassination a second time at his Palm Beach golf course, but an eagle-eyed Secret Service agent foiled the plot. Ryan Routh was arrested and federally charged in connection with the alleged attempted murder.
