Trump returns to Butler in front of 20,000, reflecting on the assassination attempt and honoring Comperatore

----
About 21,000 filled the Butler Farm Show grounds, according to Blair County Sheriff James E. Ott, who spoke at the rally.
----


If someone who spoke there is saying there were 21000, you can be assured that the real crowd size was smaller than that (Trump campaign exaggerates ALL crowd sizes). Somebody who thinks there were 60,000 or 80,000 probably believes Trump's claim of 107,000 in Wildwood NJ earlier this year.
