Former President Donald Trump told Tesla CEO and X/Twitter owner Elon Musk during an interview at X Spaces on Monday night that he has “more faith” in God since last month’s assassination attempt.
“I’m a believer now,” Trump said. “I think I’m more of a believer. A lot of people are saying that.”
During the period Live In an interview with Musk from X, which began late following a distributed denial of service attack (DDOS) on X’s servers on Monday, Trump recounted the moment that suspect Thomas Matthew Crooks opened fire at a Trump rally in Butler, Pennsylvania on July 13, from the roof of a nearby building and in direct view of Trump.
Trump was shot with a bullet that penetrated the top of his right ear.
“The bigger miracle is that I was looking in the exact direction where the map about illegal immigration was,” the former president told Musk, adding that the bullet struck him at a “much less destructive angle than any other angle.”
“I think all of us should start thinking about that, even if you don’t believe in God,” Trump added.
Trump has previously said he credits God with keeping him alive.
Speaking at a rally in Atlanta, Georgia, Trump said the Secret Service agents who protected him “under the radar” were “brave”, adding that he gave credit to God for his survival.
“The first one was not a good situation, it was not a good situation,” Trump said. “It was just an incredible thing. It came from God. It came from God. Because the possibility … it came from God. You non-believers, it came from God, right?”
