This was the most chilling moment of President Trump’s return to Butler, PA on Saturday.
We all remember the tragic moment shots rang out at Trump’s first rally in Butler back in July.
It was 6:11 PM, three months ago.
And so, at 6:11 PM earlier today, President Trump stopped the rally for a moment of silence, to honor the life of Corey Comperatore, who was killed while protecting his family that fateful day.
This was followed by a powerful singing performance of Ave Maria.
Watch:
WOW. President Trump timed his speech so that at exactly 6:11pm ET, the very minute the shots rang out in Butler, PA 12 weeks ago killing Corey Comperatore, President Trump asks for a moment of silence followed by the singing of Ave Maria.

From NPR:
Trump returned to speak at the Butler Farm Show grounds in the small Pennsylvania city — the site where, nearly three months ago, a gunman’s bullets grazed the Republican presidential nominee’s ear, as well as killed one rally attendee and injured two others.
“Exactly 12 weeks ago this evening on this very ground, a cold-blooded assassin aimed to silence me and to silence the greatest movement, MAGA, in the history of our country,” Trump said in one of his many references to his near-death experience. “But by the hand of providence and the grace of God, that villain did not succeed in his goal, did not come close. He did not stop our movement, he did not break out our spirit. He did not shake our unyielding resolve to save America from evils of poverty, hatred and destruction.”
Speaking from behind transparent screens owing to heightened security, Trump honored Corey Comperatore — the man who was fatally shot during Trump’s rally in July — with a moment of silence. Bells tolled and tenor Christopher Macchio sang Franz Schubert’s “Ave Maria,” a piece often performed at funerals. Trump also expressed thanks to the Secret Service team and medical professionals who came to his aid.
George on X pointed out that Ephesians 6:11 says, “Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil.”
Coincidence? I think not.
