Trump Posts "Wasnt the Last Time" on Butler Anniversary (2026-07-13)

On the second anniversary of the Butler shooting, Trump posts on Truth Social suggesting the "deep state" will try again. The post hints at further assassination attempts as an inevitability, framing himself as a martyr fighting against a corrupt system. The post generates millions of engagements and is used in fundraising appeals. Critics note the pattern: each anniversary and each new "attempt" reinforces the martyr narrative that energizes the base.
