Bulletproof glass and drones • Should start the speech with “As I said before…”
During the night of Sunday, Swedish time, Donald Trump returns to Butler, Pennsylvania and the place where he was the victim of an assassination attempt on July 13, writes CNN. One man died and two people were injured when a 20-year-old gunman shot at the presidential candidate during an election rally.
Now the presidential candidate will hold a new election meeting in the same place, plans that he has been talking about for some time.
Trump mentioned the visit during a campaign rally in Erie, Pennsylvania, last weekend. He said Butler has become a “big tourist attraction” after the shooting, in which he was hit in the ear.
– We are going back. It’s a big deal. Many people come there.
Drones and bulletproof glass
This time, security is in greater focus, reports CNN. Among other things, Trump is to be surrounded by bulletproof glass.
A drone system is also in place, while the building on which the shooter climbed is more heavily guarded. Cooperation between the Secret Service and the local police must also be given more priority.
– There will be people on the roof. And there will be more focus on security, says a source to CNN.
Should start with: “As I said before…”
Donald Trump plans to pay tribute to the 50-year-old firefighter who died during the assassination attempt. The victim’s family will also be there, writes CNN.
The presidential candidate also intends to begin his speech by alluding to how the last caucus ended abruptly.
– I think I should start the speech with: “As I said before…”, he said during the election meeting last weekend.
“Keeping a promise”
The assassination attempt in mid-July has become a major symbol of Trump’s campaign. At his election meetings, T-shirts and flags are sold with the image of him with blood on his face raising a fist to the sky, right after the shots.
Meanwhile, Pennsylvania is an important state for Trump to win in the upcoming presidential election, which will be decided in exactly one month.
– I said it the day I was shot: “We will come back. We will be back.” And now I’m fulfilling a promise, he said in an interview with NewsNation earlier this week.
