Trump returned to Butler, Pennsylvania, the site of his first assassination attempt, for another rally—and a photo of the aftermath is going viral.

Former President Donald Trump returned to Butler, Pennsylvania, the site of his first assassination attempt, for another rally—and a photo of the aftermath has gone viral for all the wrong reasons.

After the event wrapped up, Scripps News journalist Elizabeth Landers shared an image of a completely trashed field filled with water bottles, loose papers, and plastic bags. Even some dejected Trump-Vance signs lay on the field as some rally attendees walked past.

Many felt the picture spoke volumes about Trump's MAGA supporters and served as a perfect metaphor for our present political moment.


Others expressed their disgust in different ways.




Butler is the site where Trump survived an assassination attempt in July, the first of two attempts this election cycle.

With just 28 days remaining, and with early voting already underway in some states, the Trump campaign aimed to maximize the event's media impact in his race against Vice President Kamala Harris, who upended his entire campaign strategy from the moment President Joe Biden dropped out of the race and endorsed her to be his successor.

Standing behind protective glass on stage at his outdoor rally, Trump referred to the would-be assassin as "a vicious monster" and claimed the attempt failed “by the hand of providence and the grace of God.”

As expected, Trump continued to push blatant lies, including claims about the federal response to Hurricane Helene, echoing a circulating rumor that survivors are receiving only $750 from FEMA. This amount actually refers to immediate assistance FEMA can provide to affected individuals in disaster zones.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
