Donald Trump set the X-verse or whatever we call it these days on fire Friday afternoon with a message on his Truth Social platform containing a promise that surprises many:
“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,” the message reads in all caps, adding, “What a day it will be - fight, fight, fight! Stay tuned for details.”
Honestly, this doesn’t really surprise me at all. This is a classic Trumpian counterpunch, daring his enemies to give it another go. It’s also a brilliant political move, designed to capitalize not once, but twice on the political boost he got from barely escaping death on July 13.
