President Donald Trump praised a new book by the Washington Examiner’s Salena Zito, saying it provides an eyewitness account of the “unbreakable spirit” demonstrated after his assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania.

Zito’s book, Butler: The Untold Story of the Near Assassination of Donald Trump and the Fight for America’s Heartland, was released on Tuesday and provides insight from the author as she stood a few feet away from Trump’s stage on July 13, 2024. Her book release comes just under a year after Trump narrowly escaped death and has received the president’s endorsement.
