Lee Greenwood Sings “God Bless The USA” As Donald Trump Returns To Site Of Assassination Attempt
Republican Presidential candidate and former President Donald Trump returned to Butler, Pennsylvania, Saturday, nearly three months after an attempt was made on his life. The rally was held, with heightened security, at the same grounds where Trump was grazed in the right ear and one rallygoer - firefighter Corey Comperatore - was killed when a gunman opened fire. The would-be assassin, 20-year-old Thomas Crooks of Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, was shot and killed by a Secret Service sniper.
Trump returned to the same stage in Butler on Saturday (October 5) to finish what he started. As the former President made his way to the stage, country star Lee Greenwood sang "God Bless the U.S.A." As the song concluded, the men embraced then saluted each other in a show of support.
As Trump walked out on stage, a video juxtaposed an image of George Washington crossing the Delaware River with the photo of Trump with fist raised. A voice boomed: "This man cannot be stopped. This man cannot be defeated."
"As I was saying ..." Trump said as he appeared on stage, gesturing towards an immigration chart that he was looking at when the gunfire began 12 weeks earlier. The crowd, which was overwhelmingly white, roared enthusiastically, holding aloft signs that read "Fight! Fight! Fight!"
Tesla CEO Elon Musk made a memorable appearance at the rally. Wearing a black "Make America Great Again" hat and a T-shirt reading "Occupy Mars," Musk appeared on stage shortly after Trump made his own remarks before a massive crowd of 60,000 supporters. The rally was held at the same site where Trump was shot by gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks on July 13.
"As you can see, I am not just MAGA - I am Dark MAGA," Musk joked, a nod to the Dark Brandon meme. He called the upcoming Nov. 5 election "the most important election of our lifetime."
