Trump is returning to Butler, the site of the 1st assassination attempt against him

Former President Donald Trump returns to Butler, Pa., on Saturday for a rally on the site where he was nearly killed in a deadly July 13 shooting.

Speaking to NewsNation’s Ali Bradley this week, Trump said he felt he had to return to the Pennsylvania town.

All signs point to a Trump rally that will be bigger and longer than even a standard Trump event. What’s unclear is how inflammatory of a tone Trump will take in front of a friendly crowd on a site where he narrowly escaped death, or whether he plans a more somber message.

When asked what Trump plans for his speech, campaign spokesperson Karoline Leavitt gave few details.

“President Trump looks forward to returning to Butler, Pennsylvania to honor the victims from that tragic day," she said in a statement. "The willingness of Pennsylvanians to join President Trump in his return to Butler represents the strength and resiliency of the American people.

Guests will include a shooting survivor, as well as Elon Musk

On Friday, the Trump campaign team sent out a list of more than 60 special guests for the event. It includes the family of Corey Comperatore, who died in the July 13 shooting, as well as David Dutch, who was injured in the shooting. (The other person injured that day, James Copenhaver, was not listed among the guests.)

The list also includes both typical Trump rally guests — an array of politicians, local sheriffs and
