Trump Attributes Survival To Divine Intervention, Ponders Purpose

Former President Donald Trump recently revealed he believes a divine force saved him during a shooting incident, hinting at a predetermined higher purpose.This assertion came during a press conference where Trump credited his unexpected survival to a miraculous intervention, RealClear Politics reported.

At the event held in Bedminster, New Jersey, last Thursday, Trump detailed an occurrence during which he was nearly harmed by a shooter. The incident transpired while he was discussing immigration, towards the end of his speech which he typically delivers without a teleprompter.

Trump expressed his routine during speeches and the unusual moment that could have very well ended his life. He explained that, unlike his usual position at the podium, he felt compelled to move to his right, a spontaneous act he credits to his safety.

Explaining The Miraculous Escape

'So I don't know if you heard the question. You've spoken about God saving your life, that I've spoken passionately about it, and something happened because that was a miracle,' Trump recounted during the press conference.

Reflecting on the gravity of the situation, Trump described the timing and positioning during his speech as highly unusual. 'It was the lowest point we've ever had, and it was one that I used less than 20 percent of the time. It's always at the end of the speech, not at the beginning of the speech. And it's always on the left side, not the right side,' he revealed.

Trump's Rare Shift To Safety

The former President disclosed his strategy for maintaining audience engagement involves rarely using a teleprompter. 'And yet, for some reason, I called it – it's not on a teleprompter. I do things largely without a teleprompter, frankly because it's hard to hold an audience if you're going to go for an hour and a half or two hours reading a script,' Trump explained. Following this intuition to shift his position unexpectedly seems to have been pivotal, 'And I just talked about it, and I moved to my right, turned sharply to my right, ping, and if I didn't do that, I'm not here with you.'

'So yeah, God has something to do with it. It's a miracle, and God had something to do with it. And maybe it's - we want to save the world,' he added, suggesting the divine purpose could be as significant as 'saving the world.'

Pondering A Higher Purpose

The conversation also took a deeper dive into the specifics of the shooter. Trump pointed out, 'This guy was a good shooter. He went to the range and shot a lot, and he was supposed to be a pretty good shooter.' His sons, referring to Eric and Don, who Trump claims are skilled marksmen akin to 'scratch golfers,' provided a semblance of scale on the shooter's proficiency, 'They're like scratch golfers, better, relatively speaking, with shooters. Great shooters. And Eric and Don both told me, from 130 yards, I said, well, that's pretty far away, isn't it? They said, no, that's like a one-foot putt with weapons like the one being used.'

Based on his sons' assessment, Trump asserted, 'They said a bad shooter would hit the target almost 100 percent of the time.'

A Reconsideration Of Life And Duty

The discussion of this life-threatening experience and its implications dominated Trump's press interaction. It not only highlighted the randomness and danger of the situation but became a platform for Trump to talk about possible greater responsibilities that he might need to address.

'This world is going down. So it could be,' he said, pondering the declining state of world affairs and how his survival might tie into a larger plan to address these issues.

In conclusion, Trump's encounter with a serious threat to his life has not only reinforced his belief in divine interventions and miracles but also led him to contemplate a significant purpose for his continued existence. It was a moment characterized by an unconventional move during a speech and a subsequent reflection on what his future actions should entail.
