Former President Donald Trump, in his return to Butler, Pennsylvania, to finish the speech he was giving in July when he was stopped by a would-be assassin, opened his emotional speech Saturday by telling the crowd: “As I was saying.”
When the bullets rang out that at the July 13 rally, Trump was pointing out immigration numbers on a chart, and told the crowd Saturday, “I love that chart. I love that graph,” while finishing the point he was making before his speech was stopped.
Then he turned to remember the day this summer when Thomas Crooks stood on a nearby rooftop and opened fire, including holding a moment of silence, with the sound of the “Ave Maria” being sung at the rally by noted opera tenor Christopher Macchio to remember Cory Comperatore, the firefighter who was shot and killed while trying to shield his wife and daughters.
“Tonight I returned to Butler in the aftermath of tragedy and heartache to deliver a simple message to the people of Pennsylvania and to the people of America,” Trump said at the rally. “Our movement to make America great again stands stronger, prouder, more united, more determined, and nearer to victory than ever before,” he said, promising that his MAGA movement belongs to everyone no matter which party.
“We are going to usher in a new golden age of American security, prosperity, sovereignty, and freedom for our citizens of every race, religion, color, and creed,” said Trump.
The attempt, said Trump, came when 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,” said Trump. “By the hand of providence and the grace of God, that villain did not succeed in his goal, did not come close. He did not stop our movement. He did not break our spirit. He did not shake our unyielding resolve to save America from the evils of poverty, hatred, and destruction.”
Trump also thanked his Secret Service detail, “who threw their bodies on top of mine without a thought for their own lives.”
“Those agents displayed a devotion to duty that cannot be described,” he said. “And they did it yet again, less than three weeks ago, when they really did a fantastic job. Another attempt. It was another attempt. We have an evil world. We have a very sick world. My gratitude to them is beyond measure.”
He further thanked Butler County law enforcement officials, the emergency personnel, and doctors at Butler Memorial Hospital and Allegheny General Hospital for their help to him and others wounded at the rally.

President Trump returns to Butler, Pennsylvania – October 5, 2024
Published October 6, 2024
President Trump opened his Butler, Pennsylvania rally on Saturday defiantly proclaiming “As I was saying,” then proceeding to show the illegal immigration chart that saved his life by less than an inch.
Today, President Trump made his historic return to Butler Farm Show Inc., the rally venue where would-be assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks shot multiple rounds into the crowd from an unsecured rooftop and hit President Trump in the ear.
Had President Trump not turned his head left toward the big screen, which showed a chart of illegal immigration when he left office vs. when Biden and Kamala took over and opened the border, he’d have been killed by a headshot. “It was an act of God. I was very lucky,” said Trump.
