PITTSBURGH (KDKA) Former President Donald Trump says he is returning to Butler County for a rally after he survived an assassination attempt earlier this month.
In a post on the social media platform Truth Social, Trump said on Friday that he is coming back to Butler County for a rally to honor Corey Comperatore, who was shot and killed during his July 13 rally in Butler Township on the Butler Farm Show grounds, and the two men who were injured.
Trump did not say the date or location of the rally, only stating, "Stay tuned for details."
The July 13 gunman, identified as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, killed Comperatore and injured David Dutch and James Copenhaver when he opened fire from a roof near the rally. A bullet grazed Trump's ear.

Of course he will still look stupid because he will still do the phony fist pump/fight fight fight bullshit.

I hope a dedicated reporter follows up on the GoFundMe account TFG set up for the man's family.
Call me a cynic, but I wouldn't be surprised if TFG tries to get a cut from it.

Erie provided much of his margin of victory in 2016 but flipped back to blue in 2020 and I have been concerned about keeping them in the fold. I think I saw that after the state Senate seats were redistricted, the (R) seat there is now more competitive, so hopefully that could be a (D) pickup. I think we need 3 or 4 state Senate seats to flip the Senate.

(137,091 posts)Quick check and found this - https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-pennsylvania-rally-only-there-his-campaign-going-south-votes-2020-10
He did that in 2020 and he obviously lost the county then too!
He apparently campaigned there last summer.
I know in 2015/2016, the media spent a lot of time there stoking the ire... something that they always do - focusing on "red areas" and never on the "blue ones" when it comes to their well-being.
Democrats there seem to be fired up now - https://www.goerie.com/story/news/politics/elections/2024/07/21/erie-pa-democrats-praise-biden-reelection-withdrawal-ryan-bizzarro-bob-merski-andre-horton/74490921007/

(7,255 posts)The idiot speaking about Senator Harris and then trying to do his stupid "cover up". Maybe he'll have yet another rambling session about how he's never heard of what he now calls Project25. No telling what he'll call it next week.Take Vance along with you and he can whine about how white supremacists are threatening him and his wife.
Aww..shucks Guyliner!! Nothing like having threats from your running mates violent thugs to brighten your day.

His moronic followers will probably show up with white gauze pads on their ears.
