At the recent National Prayer Breakfast, President Donald Trump took center stage, reminding the gathered crowd at the Washington Hilton of God’s divine timing. He cheerfully acknowledged the possibility that not winning in the 2020 election was part of a higher plan. Trump indicated that his current time in office sets the stage for a series of monumental events, and he seemed genuinely excited about the festivities ahead. The upcoming Olympics, FIFA World Cup, and the 250th anniversary of America’s independence were highlighted as peaks of national pride to be celebrated during the next term — if things go as they should.
Trump expressed pride in the fact that he had secured the Olympics and the World Cup during his first term, which raised a few eyebrows considering the chaos that sometimes ensued under his leadership. Not one to avoid a little fun with irony, he noted that the upcoming 250th anniversary was just a cosmic coincidence, though one would think that somehow it was just waiting for him. After all, history has a habit of rolling out the red carpet for the most charismatic players.
Such cheekiness drew applause from an audience who are no strangers to Trump’s flair for the theatrical. He spun a narrative claiming that the events scheduled for the nation’s birthday and major sporting competitions are rewards for his perseverance through the 2020 electoral plot twists. Whether Americans agree or not on who should be the rightful president, it’s hard to deny that the political theater surrounding Trump is certainly entertaining, to say the least.

As usual, Trump pivoted to issues close to many conservatives’ hearts: religious liberty. He announced a new executive order aimed at tackling anti-Christian bias in the federal government, shepherded by Attorney General Pam Bondi. The President made it clear that without religious freedom, the essence of America would be at risk, aligning himself with the values of countless patriots who believe faith plays a crucial role in the American experience. It’s a refreshing contrast to the increasingly secular tone emanating from other corners of the political arena.
He also recounted the harrowing story of a recent assassination attempt, which he claimed he narrowly evaded thanks to divine intervention. This proclamation stirred a gut-punch of emotion in the audience, leading to a wave of applause that echoed through the hall. For many in attendance, the President’s words on faith and God working through him were poignant reminders of not just politics but the resilience of the human spirit against adversity. Taking the stage confidently, Trump underscored that even amidst chaos, faith remains a cornerstone for many Americans, creators of an irresistible narrative about personal fortitude and divine favor.
