Donald Trump returned to Pennsylvania on Saturday, October 5, where he was the victim of an assassination attempt from which he emerged with an ear injury. The boss of the social network X, Elon Musk, was present to support him.
The image went around the world. Donald Trump, his ear bleeding and his fist raised to the sky, after being the subject of an assassination attempt in mid-July, during a campaign rally in Pennsylvania. A little less than 3 months later, the Republican candidate returned to the scene of the event, in the town of Butler, to hold another meeting. On his side, this time, was the boss of the social network X Elon Musk, who came to support him.
“The true test of a person’s character is how they behave under enemy fire,” said Elon Musk, referring to the assassination attempt on Donald Trump in July.
“We’ve had a president who couldn’t climb a flight of stairs and another who slammed his fist on the table after being shot,” he then announced, referring to the fall of current President Joe Biden, then on board his Air Force One plane in 2021.
“America is the home of the brave,” said Elon Musk, apparently believing that Donald Trump’s reaction after his assassination attempt proves his qualifications for the White House.
Trump says he will “never” give up.
Claiming to be in the “MAGA” (Make America Great Again, make America great again in French) camp, named after Donald Trump’s slogan during his first presidential campaign in 2016, Elon Musk said he was “honoured” to to meet.
The billionaire, the richest man in the world, has launched a widespread attack on the Democrats, accusing them of trying to restrict “freedom of speech”, “the right to bear arms” and goes so far to falsely accuse them of trying to “take away the right to vote”.
“President Trump must win to preserve the Constitution” and “democracy in America,” declared Elon Musk, wearing a “Make America Great Again” cap.
Reiterating to the public the importance of going to vote, in this state which is known to be a central state in presidential elections, he emphasized that “a decision could be made within 1,000 votes, within 500 votes “.
For his part, Donald Trump was combative, declaring that he would “never give up” despite the assassination attempts. After the shooting in July, the former president was the subject of a second assassination attempt in September in Florida.
