According to CCTV News, on July 26 local time, former US President Trump posted on the social platform "Truth Social" that he would return to Butler, Pennsylvania, where the "attempted assassination" incident took place, and hold another rally there. Trump did not announce the specific date of the rally in his post that day.

It is reported that on July 26, the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) issued a statement saying that Trump's right ear was indeed hit by a bullet in the "failed assassination" incident on the 13th of this month.

Trump said on the 26th that he has recovered. According to Bloomberg, AFP and other media reports, Trump said at an indoor event in West Palm Beach, Florida on the 26th: "As you can see, I have recovered very well. In fact, I just removed the last bandage from my ear."

Trump has not attended any public events since the attack on the 13th, and his campaign team has not yet arranged any outdoor rallies. On the 27th, Trump said he would continue to hold outdoor rallies. "The Secret Service has agreed to significantly increase their operations. They can do this... No one's freedom of speech or right to assembly should be blocked or impeded."

The Washington Post previously reported that the U.S. Secret Service wants Trump to stop holding large outdoor rallies. Citing the impact on security, the Secret Service did not confirm or deny to the media that it would provide additional security for Trump. However, an anonymous official told The Washington Post that the Secret Service will increase security protection for Trump's outdoor rallies.

Trump has stated that he will return to Butler, where the "failed assassination" incident took place, but he did not disclose the schedule and details of the event, nor did he confirm whether the event in Butler will be held outdoors.
