The assassination attempt happened two weeks ago: a gunman fired at Trump at a campaign event in Butler. The Republican, however, wants to continue to appear at outdoor rallies.
Despite the debate about his security in the US election campaign, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump wants to continue holding open-air rallies. The Secret Service has agreed to significantly increase its protection, Trump wrote on his online platform Truth Social. The bodyguards are “very well able to do this”. Freedom of speech and assembly must not be stopped or restricted by anything or anyone.
Trump had previously announced that he wanted to return to the site of the assassination. He would return to Butler, Pennsylvania, to hold a “big and wonderful” rally there, he said. Two weeks ago, a gunman shot Trump from a roof at an open-air campaign event there. The perpetrator was killed by security forces. One visitor died and two others were injured. Trump was injured in the right ear.
