Donald Trump said he’s “more of a believer” in God after surviving an assassination attempt last month — calling the fact that only his ear was struck with a bullet a “miracle.”
“It hit me at an angle that was far less destructive than any other angle,” the 78-year-old former president told Elon Musk in an X livestream conversation.
“So that was a miracle — that was for those people who don’t believe in God, I think we got to all start thinking about that,” the Republican presidential candidate said.
“You know, I’m a believer. Now I’m more of a believer, I think. And a lot of people have said that to me. A lot of great people have said that to me, actually. But it was, it was amazing that I happened to be turned just at that perfect angle.”
Trump’s would-be assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, wounded two rally-goers and killed another at the July 13 rally in Butler, Pa., before he was shot dead by the Secret Service.
Trump said he inquired “how many people were killed?” and expected many more than one to have been killed by the gunfire — and praised the lack of a stampede among attendees after the jarring attack
