Summary
Two years after the Butler assassination attempt, Trump used a Fox News appearance to revisit the July 13, 2024 shooting in which he was wounded and Corey Comperatore was killed.
The account again centered on the moment Trump rose after being hit, raised his fist and shouted “Fight! Fight! Fight!” as Secret Service agents rushed him offstage and the gunman was killed.
Comperatore was remembered as a firefighter who died shielding his wife and daughters, with the report saying his family has since turned its grief into service and advocacy.
The anniversary message cast the attack as a failed bid to break Trump or the America First movement, arguing it instead galvanized supporters and preceded his return to the White House.
Trump’s allies also used the anniversary to call for stronger protection for political leaders, first responders and citizens attending public events.
