MILWAUKEE, Wisconsin – Some attendees of the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee are convinced that former President Donald Trump’s survival of the recent assassination attempt was nothing short of divine intervention. According to these fervent supporters, Trump’s miraculous escape from harm during the rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, was a clear sign that a higher power is protecting him.
One Detroit pastor, Lorenzo Sewell, emphasized the power of prayer as a preemptive measure in safeguarding Trump. He pointed to the community’s collective prayers for Trump’s well-being in the weeks leading up to the incident as evidence of divine protection. Sewell’s beliefs are echoed by others who see Trump as an “instrument of God” and a vessel for enacting positive change in the country.

Gary Leffler, a former Iowa congressional candidate and alternate delegate, expressed certainty that divine intervention played a significant role in Trump’s survival. Drawing on his experience as a hunter, Leffler highlighted the supposedly ideal conditions the would-be assassin had for taking the shot, making Trump’s escape all the more miraculous in his eyes.
The sentiment that God’s will superseded any malevolent intentions aimed at Trump was shared by many convention attendees. Jennifer Breitenbach, a retired teacher from North Carolina, firmly believes that Trump is on a mission ordained by a higher power to lead the nation through turbulent times. Similarly, Tennessee delegate Lona Heins emphasized the belief that Trump’s survival was a testament to God’s overarching plan for him and the country.
In the eyes of these fervent supporters, Trump’s close brush with danger serves as a potent symbol of divine protection and an affirmation of his role as a chosen leader. The conviction that his survival was more than mere chance underscores the deeply held belief in a larger, overarching design at play, reinforcing the fervor and dedication of his loyal base.
