Supporters Claim Divine Intervention Saved Donald Trump from Assassination Attempt
In a dramatic turn of events, former President Donald Trump survived what his supporters are calling a clear assassination attempt during a recent rally. The incident has sparked a flurry of reactions from prominent Trump supporters, who claim that divine intervention played a role in saving his life.
Jake Paul’s Bold Statement
YouTube star and boxer Jake Paul was among the first to voice his belief that Trump’s survival was no mere coincidence. Taking to X, Paul declared, “If it isn’t apparent enough who God wants to win When you try and kill God’s angels and saviors of the world it just makes them bigger Good beats evil every time.” Paul’s statement has been widely shared and debated, with supporters praising his boldness and critics accusing him of sensationalism.
Conor McGregor’s Support
Mixed martial arts icon Conor McGregor also weighed in, expressing his admiration for Trump’s resilience. McGregor, known for his outspoken nature, tweeted, “A 78-year-old multiple billionaire he should be on a yacht on the med touring golf courses. But he is not. He is in Pennsylvania spitting out bullets! Running for the love of his country! God speed Donald! God bless the United States ?❤️.” McGregor’s message highlights his view of Trump as a tireless patriot, undeterred by the threats against him.
Steve Scalise’s Reflections
House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, himself a survivor of political violence, offered a poignant perspective on the incident. Speaking to reporters, Scalise recounted his initial reaction: “It was difficult to watch, you know, it brings back a lot of emotions. My first thoughts were to pray for President Trump. Early reports, you really weren’t sure what happened. You saw blood coming from his ear. But, you know, as we see now, it was a clear assassination attempt. I think there was maybe some divine intervention in preventing that from being much worse than it could have been.”
Scalise, who survived a shooting during a congressional baseball practice in 2017, drew parallels between the two incidents, emphasizing the role of law enforcement and divine intervention in both. “There were other deaths. We pray for all of those that were injured or killed, innocently. The shooter was down and you saw law enforcement take swift action. And we saw that, too, on the ball field. Law enforcement is the first to go run towards the danger. They did it today. They did it on the ball field.”
Personal Experience and Heroism
Reflecting on his own experience with political violence, Scalise praised the heroism of those who saved his life. “[Congressman] Brad Wenstrup absolutely did [save my life]. Brad is a hero of mine. If he would have left early like he does some practices to go to his office – he had a meeting that got canceled so he stayed later than he normally would have. Otherwise, I might not be here right now. The heroism of David Bailey and Crystal Griner, the two Capitol police officers who were there that day, who risked their lives, both of them. Both were hit during the shootout and kept going at it. Again, risked their life to protect mine and everyone else’s.”
Scalise underscored the miraculous nature of his survival, attributing it to a combination of human bravery and divine intervention. “The shooter’s intent was to take every Republican on that ball field. There would have been over a dozen members of Congress killed that day. But God was there, too. There were miracles that happened that day and a lot of prayer, a lot of miracles.”
A Call for Civility
In his remarks, Scalise also called for a reduction in incendiary rhetoric, which he believes can inspire unhinged individuals to commit acts of violence. “When you hear all these calls, and you know, you’ve been hearing it for months: Gee wiz if [President] Donald Trump wins, it’s going to be a threat to America. Those kinds of things, that incendiary rhetoric needs to stop because all it takes is one person who’s just unhinged to hear that and go act on it.”
Scalise urged Americans to focus on addressing the nation’s problems through constructive dialogue rather than divisive language. “Let’s focus on the issues that people care about. This is a great country, this is the greatest country in the history of the world. But we have problems and let’s talk about those problems, how to fix those problems. And I think that’s where most Americans want to be. And let’s have a next few months focus on how we get this country back on track, and I think that would be better for all of us.”
As the nation grapples with the implications of this attempted attack, the calls for divine protection and intervention from Trump’s supporters add a layer of fervor to an already charged political landscape.
