Did God Intervene And Prevent Trump’s Assassination?

John MacDonald | July 14, 2024

Well, Trump is claiming God did. On Truth Social Trump’s reaction to the events was:

Thank you to everyone for your thoughts and prayers yesterday, as it was God alone who prevented the unthinkable from happening. We will FEAR NOT, but instead remain resilient in our Faith and Defiant in the face of Wickedness. Our love goes out to the other victims and their families. We pray for the recovery of those who were wounded, and hold in our hearts the memory of the citizen who was so horribly killed. In this moment, it is more important than ever that we stand United, and show our True Character as Americans, remaining Strong and Determined, and not allowing Evil to Win. I truly love our Country, and love you all, and look forward to speaking to our Great Nation this week from Wisconsin.

Failed assassinations are certainly not inherently miraculous, but let’s think about this. So, since normal people deal in probabilities, is it likely a miracle happened? No, it’s like hockey. Regularly in hockey players shoot and score, and other times hit another player in front of the net or miss the net completely. Often the goalie makes the save. But what happens sometimes, maybe once a game is that the shooter hits the post. Well, when this happens, everyone is shocked because “just an inch to the left and it would have gone in.” But such focus is misleading as to the shockingness of the event because what people neglect to think is that instead of hitting the post, the puck could have been an inch to the right and miss the net completely in which case no one would have even noticed. So yes, Trump got lucky, like being born into a rich family, but it was hardly miraculous.
