The language President Donald Trump has used in recent weeks to describe his close encounter with death on July 13 suggested an appraisal of power that a secular materialist might be quick to deny.
Further assassination attempts have led Trump to take an even tougher stance, suggesting his survival despite the efforts of his enemies was not a matter of luck, but rather an act of God.
During the period
X Space Conversation On Monday night, President Trump recounted what happened on Sunday at his golf course in West Palm Beach, Florida.
At 1:31 p.m., a U.S. Secret Service agent who was escorting President Trump around the course, one hole ahead of the president, spotted the barrel of a rifle through a chain link fence “protruding through the trees” about 400 yards away from Trump.
“All of a sudden, I heard gunshots in the air,” Trump said. “Maybe four or five. It sounded like gunshots, but what do I know about that?”
“Only God prevented the unthinkable from happening.”
USSS agents reportedly aimed their guns at the assassin and fired. The suspected militant
Democratic donors And Ukraine-obsessed Ryan Routh fled the scene without firing a shot.
Trump said Secret Service agents whisked him away in a golf cart even though he “wanted to sink that last putt.”
Reflecting on this incident and a previous assassination attempt by a Democratic donor, Trump said he appeared to have acted based on “the words and actions of Biden and Harris,” adding, “Something is going on, which is maybe God wants me to be president to save this country.”
The day after he was shot in Butler, Pennsylvania, Trump said he credited God with saving him.
“Only God prevented the unthinkable. We will remain fearless, faithful in our faith and rebellious against evil,” he said.

“It was amazing to me how I happened to turn at a perfect angle,” Trump said.
Trump noted that shaking his head was even more unlikely given his sporadic use of illegal immigration charts at his rallies.
“This is truly an act of God. It's a miracle,” Trump said. “I'm honored.”

attention Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina similarly said it was God Almighty who filled the gaps in Secret Service security.
“If you didn't believe in miracles before Saturday, you should believe in them now,” Scott said. “I thank God Almighty that I live in a country that still believes in God, the King of kings, the Lord of lords, the Alpha and Omega. Our God still saves, delivers, and delivers. Because on Saturday, the devil came to Pennsylvania with a rifle, but the American Lion rose up.”
