A good rule for any sort of conflict was stated by Scott Glenn as Bart Mancuso in the film version of Tom Clancy’s “Hunt for Red October,” that being “the key to playing chicken is knowing when to flinch.”
Donald Trump may or may not know when to flinch, but in something that may be even more important, he knows when not to flinch. On Friday, on his social media platform Truth Social, the former president announced that he will be returning to hold another rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. That’s right – he’s returning to the same town that was the scene of the attempt on President Trump’s life, although it is as yet unknown if he will speak at the same location:
Former President Trump said he plans to hold a campaign rally in the same Pennsylvania town where he was shot earlier this month in a failed assassination attempt.
Trump was shot near the ear in Butler while speaking to supporters. The shooter, Thomas Matthew Crooks, was shot and killed by a Secret Service sniper.
“I WILL BE GOING BACK TO BUTLER, PENNSYLVANIA, FOR A BIG AND BEAUTIFUL RALLY, HONORING THE SOUL OF OUR BELOVED FIREFIGHTING HERO, COREY, AND THOSE BRAVE PATRIOTS INJURED TWO WEEKS AGO,” Trump wrote Friday on Truth Social. “WHAT A DAY IT WILL BE — FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT! STAY TUNED FOR DETAILS.”
Trump’s proclivity for capital letters notwithstanding, this is an interesting campaign move – and it’s a lot more than just him holding another of his trademark rallies.
Trump needs to be protected by his own hand picked security from here on out. Secret service and the fbi can’t be trusted any longer
