will today return to the site where a gunman tried to assassinate him in July, as the former US president sets aside what are now near-constant worries for his physical safety in order to fulfill a promise — "really an obligation," he said recently — to the people of Butler, Pennsylvania.
A memorial for firefighter Corey Comperatore, who died as he shielded family members from gunfire, was set up in the bleachers, his fireman's jacket set up on display surrounded by flowers. His sisters were crying as speakers mentioned him. "The willingness of Pennsylvanians to join President Trump in his return to Butler represents the strength and resiliency of the American people."
Butler County District Attorney Rich Goldinger told WPXI-TV this week that "everyone is doubling down on their efforts to make sure this is done safely and correctly". Of July 13, he said, "I was afraid" - as were his parents, watching at home, who texted him immediately after the shots rang out. "Whenever you see people supporting him and getting excited about him being here, it scares the people who don't want to see him reelected," she said.
