Immigrants, Not God, Saved Trump from the Bullet

In a recent social media post, Donald Trump and his supporters claimed that divine intervention protected him from an assassination attempt. Trump wrote, “It was God alone who prevented the unthinkable from happening.”

This statement adds to the belief among his followers that he possesses a form of divine right, especially given the Supreme Court’s decisions that have granted him near-total immunity.

However, this claim overlooks a crucial detail. Contrary to Trump’s assertion, it was not divine intervention but rather a fortunate turn of events that spared him. During a public appearance, Trump narrowly avoided danger when he turned his head to point at a chart highlighting a rise in illegal immigration—the very issue he often emphasizes.
