He had displayed on two big screens a chart on immigration that was there when he was shot.
Trump said: ‘I return to Butler to deliver a simple message. We are going to make America great again, we are going to win the election. And to all Americans, together, in just one month we are going to usher in a new golden age.
He added: ‘For 16 seconds, time stopped as this vicious monster unleashed pure evil. That villain did not succeed.’
