Trump’s campaign displayed a heartfelt tribute to slain firefighter Corey Comperatore at his rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday.
Corey Comperatore was killed during the attempted assassination of Trump during his first rally in Butler on July 13.
The display consisted of Corey’s former firefighter jacket for the town of Buffalo and a display of flowers surrounding it.
The display was located where Corey shielded his daughters from bullets and ultimately took his last breath.

Per Newsweek:
Former volunteer fire chief Corey Comperatore, who was killed at Donald Trump’s campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13 was honored at the former president’s second rally in the town on Saturday with memorials, artwork, prayersand the crowd chanting his name.
More than two-and-a-half-months ago, Thomas Matthew Crooks fired eight rounds at Trump in an assassination attempt, grazing the former president’s right ear, killing Comperatore, and injuring two other attendees.
Trump’s plane just flew over the Butler Farm Show—the same venue where he was last seen being escorted by U.S. Secret Service agents, blood dripping down his face—to complete a campaign rally that was cut short by the July 13 shooting.
Ahead of the rally, Trump said he would honor Comperatore’s memory, recognize the injured attendees, and thank law enforcement during his second Butler visit.
