Visiting the scene of the failed assassination, Mr. Trump talked about the American dream

Washington [US], October 7: Nearly three months after the failed assassination attempt, former US President Donald Trump returned to Butler, Pennsylvania, with billionaire Elon Musk to campaign for victory on November 5.
On October 5, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump was present at the scene of the July 13 shooting. This time, he brought along a number of wealthy sponsors, including billionaire Musk, owner of Tesla and social network X (formerly Twitter ), billionaire investor John Paulson and real estate investor Steve Witkoff.
Vision of the American Dream
Speaking from the stage in Butler, Mr. Trump criticized the response of the administration of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris in the relief efforts for those affected by the recent Hurricane Helene, according to Reuters . He also promised to improve the economy, create more jobs for American workers and solve the problem of illegal immigration at the border with Mexico.
The former president also had plenty of praise for wealthy Republican donors. And above all, he called billionaire Musk a testament to his vision of the "American Dream." He promised that if he became the next president of the United States, Americans would have the opportunity to pursue that dream. "Your kids are going to grow up and say, 'I want to be Elon Musk. I want to be worth $200 billion...' That's the American Dream," Trump emphasized.
For the first time, standing side by side with Mr. Trump at a rally, Mr. Musk accused the Democrats of wanting to take away Americans' freedom of speech, as well as their right to own guns and vote. That was the billionaire's prediction about the Democrats' efforts to expand voting rights and tighten gun control measures to deal with the increasing gun violence. It is unclear what the billionaire based his prediction on, but he also predicted that November could mark the last election in the United States if the Democrats win, according to NBC News.
The BBC conducted dozens of on-site interviews with rallygoers. The majority said the economy, especially inflation, was their biggest concern ahead of the election. "We are not being taken care of. Ordinary people can't afford food. They can barely afford petrol," one voter, Jessenia Anderson, told the BBC.
Enthusiasm in Pennsylvania
An estimated 25,000 to 30,000 people attended the rally, which caused traffic congestion in Butler all day on October 5. Many people lined up for up to 10 hours under the scorching sun to buy souvenirs in support of Mr. Trump's election campaign.
"I really admire the fact that he voluntarily came back here and completed the speech that was rejected last time," AFP quoted Teresa Wilson, a former Marine who attended the rally on July 13.
The enthusiasm of the crowd in Butler could give Mr Trump an advantage in the state that could decide the next US president after November 5. "If we win Pennsylvania, we will win the whole thing," AFP quoted him as saying.
