I don't care what anyone has to say, Trump coming back to Butler after he almost died here is a statement.
He's not coming just to campaign, he's making sure that his supporters know he is resilient, and it's hard not to respect that kind of persistence. Whether you like him or not, you have to give credence to his audacity in facing danger and still standing firm in his beliefs.
Plus, the fact that thousands showed up after what transpired in July says a lot about how deeply his message resonates with a certain kind of Americans. They're not just following a politician, they are following someone they feel has survived what they see as an assassination attempt on their way of life.
And that's not something you often see in politics.
But let's be realistic, this is not about surviving an attack, he is capitalizing on this. Each mention of the shooting is artfully woven into his overall narrative of a victim of the "corrupt system." And for many, it works. The emotion in the room when he talks about Corey Lewandowski, the campaign manager who lost his job, is undeniable. It's personal.

I've seen politicians whip up crowds before but it's another thing entirely the way Trump uses tragedy for fuel to propel his campaign forward. It's somewhat unsettling, yet simultaneously powerful.
But that raises the question: what's next?
Follow my blogs to find out as I would be keeping you updated.
It is interesting to see how things going in the upcoming election, especially with the current rising tension in the middle east.
Trump seems to know how to make use of the incident.

I'm wondering how I didn't see this comment until today.
Some don't like his style of doing things but I think we have to respect him for his resilience.
Thanks for the comments my friend.
Trump was just in my region a few days ago, and lemme tell ya, we're living the things he's talking about. I was a Bernie Bro in 2016 and 2020, and for someone like me to be thinking about voting for Trump is remarkable.
While we're not a border state, it certainly feels as if we are, as our area went from one of the safest places to live in the country just 40 years ago, to a crime-ridden hellhole once they started bringing them in by the busload.
I've known so many people who are dead now, and many of the good have either fled or are planning to as its so dangerous here and in other towns in the eastern half of the state. They can say whatever the hell they want to about Trump, but unless they live in these towns, they have no idea how life changes when a federal migrant center opens up in your area. It's finally closed, but the damage has already been done.
