On Monday, former President Donald Trump sat down with Tesla CEO and X owner Elon Musk for an interview on X Spaces. It was then that he revealed that he is “more of a believer” in God after the assassination attempt on his life last month, in which he was “shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part” of his right ear.
“I’m a believer now,” Trump said. “I’m more of a believer, I think. A lot of people have said that.”
Breitbart reports:
During the live interview with Musk on X on Monday, which started late after a distributed denial of service attack (DDOS) on X’s servers, Trump spoke about the moment Thomas Matthew Crooks opened fire at his rally in Butler, Pennsylvania on July 13 from the rooftop of a nearby building, where he had a direct line of sight of Trump.
The former president told Musk that the “bigger miracle was that” he had been “looking in the exact direction” that a chart on illegal immigration was located, adding that the bullet hit him at an “angle far less destructive any other angle.”
“For those of you who don’t believe in God, I think we can all start thinking about that,” Trump declared.
Previously, Trump credited his survival of the assassination attempt to God. He said during an Atlanta, Georgia rally that the Secret Service agents who shielded him were “brave” and that God is behind his survival.
“The first one was not a good situation, not a good situation,” Trump said. “That was really something incredible. That was from God. That was from God. Because the chances….that was from God. For all of you non-believers, that one was from God, right?”
