President Donald Trump has revealed a surprising and deeply personal update—he still feels pain from the near-fatal 2024 assassination attempt, describing it as a lingering reminder of the day he believes God saved his life.
In a compelling appearance on Fox News Channel’s “The Will Cain Show”, Trump opened up while touring flood damage in Texas. The interview quickly turned emotional as the former—and potentially future—Commander-in-Chief reflected on the terrifying moment that changed his life and shocked the nation.
“I was hit. It wasn’t a miss, but it should’ve been much worse. People who understand ballistics say it’s a miracle I survived,” Trump shared. “I still get that throbbing in my ear sometimes. It never really goes away.”
A Miracle on the Campaign Trail
The assassination attempt on July 13, 2024, left Trump bloodied and claimed the life of Corey Comperatore, a heroic Trump supporter and firefighter who shielded his family from gunfire. Many Americans, particularly those in the Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement, believe the outcome was nothing short of divine.
Polling shows that 70% of Trump supporters believe God intervened to protect him—and Trump agrees.
“I was saved for a reason. I believe it was to help save America,” he said, pointing skyward. “We had a country that was nearly finished. But now, we have a second chance.”
Faith, Resilience, and a President Who Fights
During the interview, Will Cain asked Trump how surviving such a traumatic event impacted his outlook.
“It gives me a deep sense of purpose,” Trump said. “That moment wasn’t just about survival—it was a message. I have an obligation to fight for this country harder than ever before.”
Trump’s honesty stood in stark contrast to the polished, scripted appearances typical of President Joe Biden. His unfiltered remarks struck a chord with patriotic Americans, particularly older voters who value faith, strength, and traditional values.
One Year Later: A Country at the Crossroads
As the one-year anniversary of the attack approaches, Trump remains focused—not on fear or trauma—but on restoring America’s greatness.
“I don’t want to say our country was dead, but it was close,” Trump warned. “Now we’re bringing it back stronger than ever. The people know it. And the world sees it.”
With the 2024 election still fresh in the nation’s memory and 2028 on the horizon, Trump’s message is resonating with millions of Americans: Faith, freedom, and fearless leadership.
