Just one week after a would-be assassin attempted to kill former President Donald Trump at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania—causing hero firefighter Corey Comperatore’s death and near-fatal injuries to two others including Mr. Trump himself—thousands of fans turned out for his next political gathering, this time being held in Michigan.
Dan Scavino, senior adviser for Trump shared the video of him boarding Trump Force One at then heading to Grand Rapids, Michigan.
“Happening Now: President Trump boards Trump Force One, heading to the Great State of Michigan, for a rally in beautiful Grand Rapids!” he posted along with the video on X.
This would be the first rally since Trump’s deadly shooting as well as his first rally with running mate Senator JD Vance (R-OH).
Videos and photos from Grand Rapids captured the thousands of Trump fans who were already lining up to see the former president in person.
“It’s 10:30am. The line to see President Trump and @JDVance1 is MASSIVE. Just thousands of people. Michigan is making a statement,” OANN’s Daniel Baldwin posted.
“Twenty year old Michigan voter at the Trump rally today: ‘This is a week after President Trump just got shot at. Just that is crazy. I know he will fight for this country,’” Baldwin added.
Former Assistant Treasury Secretary Monica Crowley added, “Tonight, President Trump and VP nominee @JDVance1 will hold their first rally together — and the first since the heinous assass*ination attempt — in Grand Rapids, Michigan. THOUSANDS are already in line. The passion & energy are fiercer than ever. Incredible.”
“Lots of chants of ‘Fight! Fight! Fight!’” a post from Life News noted.
