Donald Trump Gives Update Following Assassination Attempt
On July 13th, 2024 an assassination attempt on former president Donald Trump occurred; killing and injuring bystanders present at the Trump rally. Moreover, the sitting president Joe Biden refused to acknowledge what was clear: that this was no ordinary shooting; an assassination attempt had occurred. The American public remains in disbelief that our nation has come to this. To stand as a representative of this Constitutional Republic in contemporary America, the campaigning politician must be willing to put their lives on the line for the nation. Trump has proven to the American people—and the Establishment—that he is willing to stand for the American people, no matter the consequences. Instead, American citizens must work to bridge the divide wedged between partisanships; radicalized by the bureaucratic establishment.
Donald Trump reported an update to his condition on July 13th, 2024, at 7:42pm—nearly two hours after his attempted assassination. Trump wrote on his Truth Social network; “I want to thank The United States Secret Service, and all of Law Enforcement, for their rapid response on the shooting that just took place in Butler, Pennsylvania. Most importantly, I want to extend my condolences to the family of the person at the Rally who was killed, and also to the family of another person that was badly injured. It is incredible that such an act can take place in our Country. Nothing is known at this time about the shooter, who is now dead. I was shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part of my right ear. I knew immediately that something was wrong in that I heard a whizzing sound, shots, and immediately felt the bullet ripping through the skin. Much bleeding took place, so I realized then what was happening. GOD BLESS AMERICA!” (Truth).
Trump’s shooting was a message from God to the American people. God’s Holy Spirit moved through Trump; producing a movement and deflected the bullet that would have taken his life. Moreover, it would have caused an unroar throughout the nation, further dividing the citizenry into a crisis worthy of further government intervention. The Lord is at work even when we fail to recognize it. But sometimes to takes the prospect of tragedy to appreciate the liberty that every citizen enjoys. This liberty exists inherent in every human being, ordained by God; before any government beyond Christ was ever considered. Yet a secure government produces a habitable vehicle for the maleficent.
Trump’s reminds his constituents the harrowing facts; "[t]hey’re not after me, they’re after you …I’m just standing in the way!” (Trump). The actions that occurred on July 13th, 2024 support Trump’s position. It is undisputable that the bureaucratic establishment is willing to radicalize fringe partisans for their own benefit, at the expense of our Constitutional Republic and any prospect of democracy. America’s pursuit of happiness has become conflated with polarized rhetoric; declaring political dissidents to be vile specimens; comparable to Hitler and other tyrannical dictators. Yet these types of malevolent figures require the division of the population, to divide, conquer, then usher in government intervention.
The Old Testament scribes a reminder unto the contemporary citizen; we must remember that God is always with us. As it is written, “’[n]ever forget—I am always with you and will protect you wherever you go. And one day I will bring you back to this land, for I will neither leave you nor fail to fulfill every word I have promised you.’ When Jacob awoke from his dream, he said, ‘Yahweh is here! He is in this place and I didn’t realize it!’ Terrified and overwhelmed he said, ‘How awesome is this place! I have stumbled right into the house of God! This place is a portal, the very gate of heaven!’” (Genesis 28:15-17; TPT). We must revel in the awesomeness of God’s promise, as being unveiled in our contemporary polity. The assassination attempt is an act of treason against the liberty of the citizen to choose their own elected representative. We must awaken to the divisive coordinated crises that the government works to conduct; reject persecution of each other for our differences, and facilitate in healing the divide; no matter who leads the citizenry back onto course. The American citizen needn’t acquiesce their authority to the establishment; nor any form of government intervention. Instead, we must place our obedience in the power of the Lord, for the evident witnessed today reveal that there is a supernatural strategy in practice.
President Trump survived an attempt on his life after being shot in the head. God provided discernment for Donald Trump take cover as his attack was occurring. The bullet missed his head by inches. It is apparent that God shielded Donald Trump before his own Secret Service could provide him adequate cover. This is a tragic and monumental day for America. But God’s hand remains on this nation; and over every citizen. We mustn’t forget our country’s foundation rooted in God; as He remains the protector of our nation and its citizens.
