As the 2024 U.S. presidential election enters the final countdown, Republican presidential candidate Trump returned to Butler County, Pennsylvania, where he was nearly shot nearly three months ago, on October 5 to hold another rally. Trump once again took the stage After the stage, he continued the speech interrupted by the shooting on July 13. He opened with a quote from that time: "As I said...", which made the emotions of the supporters boil instantly.
In his speech, Trump paid special tribute to the 50-year-old volunteer firefighter Corey Comperatore, who was killed in the July shooting, and the two injured, David Dutch and James Copenhaver. He thanked Comperatore's family for attending the rally, and mentioned the exact time of the shooting - 6:11, calling on the crowd to join him in a moment of silence.
Musk showed up at the rally to show support
What is worth noting at this rally is that Tesla CEO Elon Musk also showed up to express his support for Trump. Musk praised Trump's perseverance after the shooting, saying: "This is a man who showed courage in the midst of gunfire!" He further mocked the current President Biden:
We have a president who can't climb stairs, but we have another president who raised his fist and fought back even after being shot. So, who do you want to represent America?
Not only mocking, Musk also reminded supporters of the importance of this election, saying: "This is the most important election. They want to take away your weapons, they want to take away your freedom of speech, and they even want to deprive you of your right to a fair election." He emphasized the importance of freedom of speech: "Freedom of speech is the cornerstone of democracy! That's why it's the First Amendment!"
Finally, Musk called on the public to take action: "President Trump must win the election to protect the Constitution! Register to vote immediately and ask everyone you know to vote! Send them a text message now! Nothing is more important than this!" He encouraged the crowd to shout out: "Fight, fight, fight! Vote, vote, vote!"
Meme coin $FIGHT reverses 20% decline
The meme coin $FIGHT, which was related to the "Trump attack", was quickly sought after by investors when Trump was shot in July, and the price of the currency soared. However, as Trump's recent polls continue to be sluggish, $FIGHT has fallen nearly 20% in the past 6 hours, failing to rebound on Trump's return to Pennsylvania campaign events. In addition, another meme coin, $TRUMP, rose by about 9% during the same period, reaching $3.22. However, it is still far away from its May all-time high of $17.
