Trump Suggests Divine Intervention Saved Him from Snipers: ‘Perhaps it’s God’

Former President Donald Trump reflected on surviving two assassination attempts in two months during an interview, suggesting that perhaps God wanted him to be president to save the country. He criticized Vice President Kamala Harris and President Joe Biden’s rhetoric, attributing the attempts on his life to their words. Trump recounted the near-assassination in Butler, PA, and the recent incident where a man brought a rifle onto his golf course. Despite the arrest of the suspect, Trump claimed that Biden’s and Harris’ rhetoric led to these violent acts. Trump also confirmed that Biden had reached out to him following the incident. The interview marked a return to politics for Trump, who had previously praised law enforcement and Americans after the golf course incident. He also criticized Biden and Harris in a Fox News Digital interview, claiming they are destroying the country. The Trump campaign dropped ads and fundraising solicitations along these lines. However, critics believe Trump is attempting to silence legitimate criticism and has engaged in violent rhetoric himself. Ryan Routh, the suspect arrested in the recent incident, was a fervent Ukraine supporter and voted in the last March’s North Carolina Democratic primary. Trump’s remarks have sparked debates about the role of political rhetoric and its impact on violent actions.
