Former US President and Republican presidential candidate Donald tramp held a rally in Butler in the US state of Pennsylvania, the place where On July 13, he survived the assassination. The speaker at the meeting was also the richest man in the world Elon Musk.
Donald Trump called on the crowd to bring him victory in the elections.
"Twelve weeks ago we all took a bullet for America." All I'm asking is for everyone to get out and vote. We have to win," said Trump, reports AP.
Standing behind impenetrable protective glass, he called his assassin a "malignant monster" and added that his plan had failed thanks to "the will and grace of God".
One of the guests at Trump's rally in Butler was the richest man in the world, Elon Musk, CEO of SpaceX and Tesla, owner of the X platform, formerly Twitter.
Musk appeared at the podium after Trump introduced him as "a great gentleman who saved free speech."
"President Trump must win to preserve our Constitution." He must win to preserve democracy in America," said Musk, who supported the Republican candidate after the assassination attempt and is actively financing pre-election activities in several key American states.
He then declared that unless Trump's supporters turned out to vote, this would be the "last election."
The AP reports that the Trump campaign tried to maximize the potential of the rally in Butler just 30 days before the presidential election in which Trump will face the US vice president and the Democratic nominee. Kamal Harris.
Two assassinations
Ahead of Trump's arrival, large numbers of people waited to enter the venue, many chanting the slogan "Fight, Fight, Fight" that Trump shouted moments after he was shot on July 13.
The July assassination attempt on Trump in Butler, when a bullet grazed his right ear, highlighted serious lapses in his security and resulted in increased security measures at his subsequent campaign rallies.
Critics expressed concern that 20-year-old assassination attempt suspect Thomas Matthew Crooks, who was later killed by Secret Service agents, was able to gain access to a nearby rooftop with a direct view of where Trump was speaking.
It was the first of two assassination attempts on Trump. The gunman was hiding on Trump's golf course in West Palm Beach, Florida on September 15, with plans to kill him, prosecutors said. His plans were thwarted by a US Secret Service agent patrolling the grounds.
Security measures were visibly increased at the rally in Butler, and armed police officers in camouflage uniforms were deployed on the surrounding rooftops.
In the elections four years ago, Trump lost in Pennsylvania, one of the key states for the presidential elections in the USA.
