US presidential candidate Donald Trump has returned to Butler, Pennsylvania, where he was assassinated three months ago at a campaign rally. Trump said he intends to see the rally through to the end. For the first time, Trump’s most influential supporter, entrepreneur Elon Musk, one of the richest people in the world, addressed voters.

This time the stage was fenced off with bulletproof glass. Trump began his speech with the words “as I said here before,” which was enthusiastically received by his supporters. The former president credited divine providence and the secret service for his salvation during the assassination attempt. According to him, the “cruel killer” intended to silence him, but he failed.
Musk urged Trump supporters to register to vote. He said that if the Republican candidate is not elected, the 2024 election will be the last. “This is the most important election in the life of our generation. Trump must win to preserve American democracy,” the businessman said.
He also threw a stone at Joe Biden, who withdrew his candidacy. “One of our presidents can’t climb one flight of stairs, and another shows his fist after being wounded in an assassination attempt. There is no greater courage than courage under fire,” Musk added.
