Defiant Trump Cites ‘Grace of God’ at Revival Rally in Pennsylvania
Donald Trump returned to Butler, Pennsylvania, Saturday to the site of his July assassination attempt, declaring the gunman who tried to kill him did “not stop our movement” and praising God for divine intervention.
He also thanked the Secret Service agents who “threw their bodies on top of mine” after he was grazed by a bullet. “They were on top of me so fast, and there was not even a moment of doubt in their minds.”
The Republican nominee for president recounted: "For 16 harrowing seconds during the gunfire, time stopped as this vicious monster unleashed pure evil from his sniper's perch, not so far away, but by the hand of providence and the grace of God, that villain did not succeed in his goal.
