Our nation’s greatest hero since at least the Reagan era — maybe even further back than that — former President Donald Trump, who survived an assassin’s bullet last weekend, broke his public silence and gave his first talk on Wednesday since the incident occurred. During his address, Trump revealed that the event had a huge impact on how he viewed his life and has strengthened his faith in God.
In my personal opinion, if you have this close of a brush with death and still don’t believe in God, I think your brain might be broken. How else can you account for Trump’s survival than a sovereign Ruler and Creator who is in control of human events? Nothing else makes sense. The chances of all the things happening precisely as they did to allow our former president to make it through that event are astronomical. Nigh unto impossible.
And yet, here we are.
Just something to chew on for a bit.

The GOP presidential nominee made the remarks Wednesday at the premiere of Citizens United’s film “Trump’s Rescue Mission: Saving America” at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee.

“You say, ‘How did that happen?’ But I got lucky. God was with me, I tell you,” he said as the crowd chanted “Fight! Fight! Fight!”
The former president added, “That’s what they call a close call. That was an amazing, horrible thing. Amazing thing. And in many ways, it changes your attitude, your viewpoint on life. And I think, honestly, I think you appreciate God even more. I really do.”
“Because something — something happened. Something happened. Not that it was pleasant. It wasn’t like it was a complete miss, but it was — it’s pretty terrible that that can happen. And it happens too often. … The crime in our country is so bad. … We’re gonna fix it,” Trump stated.

It is now four days after the Trump assassination attempt, and the public is no closer to understanding how the Secret Service could have botched its protection detail so egregiously. With each passing hour, disturbing new details emerge about outrageous negligence and inexcusable security lapses committed by the agency.
The Secret Service’s refusal to release information or fire anyone has fueled speculation that the agency is engaged in a sinister cover-up. Among the most damning revelations came former Secret Service agent Dan Bongino, who said he was told that the rooftop from which Thomas Crooks shot at Trump was supposed to be manned, but that person never showed up.
Where is the person who was supposed to be manning that position now? Why haven’t we heard more information on this from the Secret Service? Is it time to pull out the tinfoil hats as we good conspiracy theorists are known to do from time-to-time and think outside the box on this? Even just the suggestion that this is what happened is disturbing.
“I was also told that the Secret Service director has been given instructions from the administration and the DHS secretary: ‘If you wanna keep your job, you’ll keep your mouth shut about this,’” Bongino stated during an interview on Tuesday.
It's impossible to overstate how much of a miracle we experienced on July 13th.
This is how close we came.

At the end of the day, I’d say it’s safe to assume God was most definitely with Trump on Saturday. Had to be. It’s clear the Secret Service wasn’t going to keep him safe all on their own.
