One person - a volunteer fire chief - was killed in the 13 July shooting, which also left two bystanders seriously wounded and Trump shot in the ear.

“For 15 seconds, time stood still,” Trump told the crowd. “This vicious monster unleashed evil… the villain did not succeed in his goal.”

For Saturday's rally, though, security was tight - a result of increased scrutiny of the Secret Service in the wake of two attempts on Trump’s life - the second last month at his golf course in West Palm Beach, Florida.

Also in attendance were Trump’s running mate, JD Vance, as well as son Eric Trump, daughter-in-law Lara Trump and tech billionaire Elon Musk, who endorsed Trump after the earlier shooting.
