Trump Says God ‘Prevented the Unthinkable’ During Assassination Attempt

The Epoch Times Header

‘God protected President Trump,’ wrote vice presidential candidate Sen. Marco Rubio.

Former President Donald Trump said he believes God shielded him from assassination during a rally in Pennsylvania, in a sentiment echoed by several prominent Republicans.

“It was God alone who prevented the unthinkable from happening,” the former president wrote in a Truth Social post on Sunday. “We will FEAR NOT, but instead remain resilient in our Faith and Defiant in the face of Wickedness.”

Later in the post, former President Trump expressed love for the families of the other shooting victims, including a firefighter who died and two others who were injured.

“In this moment, it is more important than ever that we stand United, and show our True Character as Americans, remaining Strong and Determined, and not allowing Evil to Win,” he wrote in his post.

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), a top potential vice presidential pick for former President Trump, wrote on X that “God protected President Trump,” including an image of the former president with blood streaked across his face and his fist in the air.

Rep. Carlos Antonio Gimenez (R-Fla.) agreed with the sentiment, telling Fox News that the former president wasn’t gravely wounded or killed by “the grace of God,” while Rep. Cory Mills (R-Fla.) said “divine intervention” and God’s “protective hand” foiled the assassination attempt.

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) wrote that it was God who “protected President Trump yesterday,” while he also told NBC News that he hopes politicians can tone down the political rhetoric following the assassination attempt.

“Yesterday there were miracles, and I think the hand of God was there too,” House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) told Fox News on Sunday, noting that he himself was shot and wounded during a congressional baseball team event in 2017. “You can just see one centimeter over and we’re having a very different conversation,” he wrote.

Video of the incident shows the former president speaking at the rally and then turning his head slightly before he was struck in the right ear. Some Republicans, including Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, noted that the slight turning of his head may have saved his life and suggested divine intervention is at play.
