Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson said former President Donald Trump’s miracle survival by “divine intervention” on Saturday was evidence that “God is among us” in his address to the Republican National Convention (RNC) on Thursday.
“I think even people who don’t believe in God are beginning to think, ‘Well, maybe there’s something to this actually,’” Carlson said, just days after an attempted assassin’s bullet came within an inch of killing Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania. If not for divine providence through a last-second tilt of Trump’s head, he would be dead.
“I stand before you in this arena only by the grace of Almighty God,” Trump said shortly after Carlson took the stage.
Donald Trump tells the story about how he almost lost his life on Saturday, says he will never tell the story again because it’s too painful.
