Thank God for Saving Trump on Anniversary of Butler Assassination Attempt
One year after President Donald Trump was nearly assassinated at the infamous Butler, Pennsylvania, rally, Republican lawmakers and officials are crediting God with saving the president's life.
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD), and a slew of other leaders in the Republican Party took to X to remember July 13, 2024, and the role they believe God played that day.
"One year ago today, God miraculously spared the life of President Trump, and He is using him to lead our county [sic] back to greatness," Johnson wrote in a post, sharing a video of the moment Trump was struck in the ear, and the moments after, in which he pumped his fist defiantly with a bloodied face.
