Trump: ‘God Thinks I’m Here to Straighten Out Our Country’

[Social Media]

 

In a recent interview, former President Donald Trump shared his belief that God spared his life during an assassination attempt in July because he is destined to "straighten out" the United States. The attempt on Trump’s life occurred during a rally in Pennsylvania on July 13, when a shooter opened fire, grazing Trump in the ear, killing one attendee, and injuring two others. Speaking with Fox News host Mark Levin on "Life, Liberty & Levin," Trump discussed how the harrowing experience has deepened his faith.

 

When asked by Levin if his belief in God had grown following the incident, Trump responded thoughtfully. “I think you think like, if you believe in God, you believe in God more. And somebody said like, why? And I’d like to think that God thinks that I’m going to straighten out our country,” he said, reflecting on the gravity of the event. He described the state of the nation as “so sick and so broken,” suggesting that his survival might be part of a divine plan. “Maybe that was the reason, I don’t know. I don’t know, a lot of people have said that,” he added.

 

Trump has previously suggested that divine intervention played a role in his survival, and during the interview, he reiterated this belief, recounting the chaotic moments when the gunman fired. He speculated that the shooter’s failure to hit his target was not due to lack of skill but rather because the assailant was rushed. “I think you believe more, because when you speak to experts, like my sons who are shooting experts. But when you speak to experts, they said there was no chance that he could have missed from that distance,” Trump explained. He continued, “I think he was hurried. I think he was rushed because people were starting to say, like, you know, there’s a guy up there with a gun. And I think he was probably rushed.”

 

Trump also praised the swift actions of the Secret Service agents who protected him during the attack, lauding their bravery and quick response. “They were on top of me and they were bullets were flying over us — and there wasn’t one of them that said, ‘Oh gee, I’m not doing that,’” Trump recalled, emphasizing the agents' dedication under fire. He commended the sniper who neutralized the threat as “amazing” but pointed out that security flaws allowed the shooter to take the shot in the first place. “Now, obviously, somebody should have been on top of that roof. And there were some problems,” he acknowledged, highlighting the gaps in security that have since come under intense scrutiny.

 

In the wake of the assassination attempt, the Secret Service has faced significant criticism over the breach that allowed a gunman to come so close to the former president. Kimberly Cheatle, who was serving as the Secret Service director at the time, resigned from her position amid mounting pressure and questions regarding the security lapses that led to the incident. The resignation has sparked further debate about the effectiveness and readiness of the agency tasked with protecting high-profile figures like Trump.

 

As Trump continues to reflect on the events of July 13, his comments reveal a man who sees his survival as more than just a stroke of luck. For Trump, the failed assassination attempt has reinforced his belief that he has a purpose yet unfulfilled. “I’d like to think that God thinks that I’m going to straighten out our country,” he said, a sentiment that underscores his enduring connection between faith and his political mission.

There are lot of things Trump says he doesn't actually believe in. The Bible, representing the poor, unions etc.

 

OTOH, he does believe he is the smartest guy in the room.

If Trump had said he saw the bullet coming and managed to dodge it you’d still be parroting that BS.

Just another transparent and lame-@ss attempt by Trump to pander to his christian nationalist / evangelical base. Maybe he should try walking on water….

Wow Trump know what God is thinking and Charles Mason implied that he was Jesus Christ. There must be some commonality between them; probably mental health issue. 

[BusyB]

 

The sad and worrying thing is many will agree with him.

 

What's especially distasteful is the assertion that his life was worth saving by this god but the poor former fire fighter who died wasn't.

 

Sick sick sick.

There are many questions going unanswered - why did Gods chosen man not spring into action, direct  half of his protection team to put down a point of fire on the snipers position, and then lead the rest in a quick left flanking assault on the sniper?

 

Maybe his bone spurs were troubling him - after all, taking cover is for losers!

It's true.

There was a big hand coming from the sky which modified the trajectory of the bullet.

Of course, the MSM will never show you that!
