Trump: ‘I’d like to think that God thinks that I’m going to straighten out our country’

SUMMARY

Former President Donald Trump, the Republican presidential nominee, stated in a recent interview his belief that God may have spared him to “straighten out” the country after surviving an assassination attempt in July. Speaking with Fox News host Mark Levin, Trump was asked if he believes in God more following the attempt on his life during a rally in Pennsylvania on July 13th. Reflecting on the incident, Trump said, “I’d like to think that God thinks that I’m going to straighten out our country.” He further elaborated, “Our country is so sick and it’s so broken... And maybe that was the reason, I don’t know.” Trump praised the Secret Service agents for their bravery, saying, “They were on top of me and they were bullets were flying over us.” The assassination attempt has led to scrutiny of the Secret Service, resulting in the resignation of its director, Kimberly Cheatle.
