Trump rallies in Butler for first time since attempted assassination: Live

The Trump rally in Butler, Pennsylvania ended with a lot of cheers, and a lot of trash.

An image posted of the rally site on X showed the area littered with garbage following the event.

A photographer captured an excited Elon Musk leaping into the air after Donald Trump called him on stage to speak to a Butler, Pennsylvania rally crowd.

Another happy customer of Musk’s X service saw the similiarities between the Tesla CEO and Poochie from The Simpsons.

JD Vance reportedly said that a potential second Trump administration would seek to defund Planned Parenthood.

“On the question of defunding Planned Parenthood…our view is we don’t think that taxpayers should fund late term abortions,” he told Real Clear Politics. “That has been a consistent view of the Trump campaign the first time around, it will remain a consistent view.”

While Planned Parenthood does provide reproductive healthcare services, Vance is lying. The organization does not “fund late term abortions.”

Planned Parenthood does provide women’s healthcare services — like cancer screenings — in addition to abortions.

Vice President Kamala Harris reportedly sat down for an interview on the Call Her Daddy podcast this week, with the episode set to release sometime next week.

The Democratic presidential candidate’s appearance on the mega popular podcast was confirmed by a campaign spokesperson to Axios, the outlet reports.

Call Her Daddy is Spotify’s second-biggest podcast, coming in just behind the Joe Rogan Experience.

Alex Cooper, the creator and host of Call Her Daddy, recorded her episode with Harris on Tuesday, according to Axios. The outlet reports that the episode will focus on reproductive rights and abortion as well as other issues important to women voters.

A spokesperson for FEMA debunked claims made by Donald Trump during his Butler, Pennsylvania rally on Saturday that “they” — Democrats — only gave $750 to victims of Hurricane Helene. Later claims circulating on social media claimed that the funds were only “a loan,” which FEMA denied.

“This is not true. We do not ask for this money back,” FEMA spokesperson Jaclyn Rothenberg wrote on X.

The White House issued a statement on Friday responding to Trump’s claims.

“More than 6,400 Federal personnel are on the ground, and more than $110 million in Federal assistance has been given to survivors, with more to come. We are sparing no resource as we work to ensure communities across the Southeast have prompt access to Federal resources that will enable them to both purchase essential items and begin their road to recovery and rebuilding,” the White House wrote in its statement.

The White House said the $750 figure is just an initial disbursement for people who immediately need financial assistance.

“It is an upfront, flexible payment to help cover essential items like food, water, baby formula, breastfeeding supplies, medication and other emergency supplies. There are other forms of assistance that you may qualify for to receive, and Serious Needs Assistance is an initial payment you may receive while FEMA assesses your eligibility for additional funds. $750 is what is immediately available to eligible survivors. In addition, survivors may qualify for more FEMA financial assistance, including to repair storm-related damage to homes and property, find a temporary place to stay, and receive compensation for lost crops and livestock.”

Vice President Kamala Harris and Governor Tim Walz will appear on a special edition of 60 Minutes on Monday.

According to 60 Minutes, the program offered an interview to the Trump campaign, which initially agreed, but then later declined the sit down.

Full story: Donald Trump returned to the site where he was nearly assassinated this summer, but his brush with death doesn’t appear to have changed him in the slightest.

On Saturday evening, Trump returned to Butler, Pennsylvania — walking out a live rendition of “God Bless the USA” by Lee Greenwood — and opened with the words “as I was saying,” referencing the fact that his previous rally at the site ended abruptly when a gunman fired at AR-15 toward the stage, grazing his ear and killing one attendee and injuring two others.

Rather than giving the former president a new perspective on the political temperature in the country, Trump’s rhetoric appears to have become more volatile; during the rally, he suggested that his political opponents “maybe tried to kill me.”

Elon Musk, the CEO of X and Tesla, made the brazenly false claim that Democrats were going to eliminate elections in the US as he rallied onstage next to Donald Trump on Saturday night.

Trump — returning to the site where he was nearly assassinated in July — introduced Musk as the man who “saved free speech“ and as a “rocket builder,” claiming his company Space X was the only reason that American astronauts can return to space.

The world’s wealthiest man took the stage in a black “Make America Great Again” hat and told the crowd he was “dark MAGA” — seemingly referencing the fringe far-right meme — before taking a swipe at President Joe Biden and suggesting that Democrats were trying to strip away Americans’ rights to free spech, to bear arms, and to vote.
