Trump Tells Musk: ‘I’m More of a Believer’ in God Since Shooting
SUMMARY
In an interview with Elon Musk on X Spaces, President Donald Trump shared how the July 13 assassination attempt has deepened his faith. Trump described the incident in Butler, PA, where he was shot by Thomas Matthew Crooks, as a profound experience. “I’m a believer now,” Trump said. “I’m more of a believer, I think. A lot of people have said that.” He described the moment he was shot in the upper part of his right ear, noting that the bullet's trajectory was fortuitous. “The bigger miracle was that I was looking in the exact direction of a chart on illegal immigration. The bullet hit me at an angle far less destructive than any other angle,” he added. Trump reiterated the divine aspect of his survival, asserting, “For those of you who don’t believe in God, I think we can all start thinking about that.” He also credited God for his survival during a rally in Atlanta, calling the incident “something incredible” and stating, “That was from God. Because the chances…that was from God."
