Today he imagines one year since the shooting of July 13 at the Rally Donald Trump in the Butler in Pennsylvania – an attack that almost took his life and requested the life of a supporter.
“A miracle that he’s not dead”
Senator Lindsey Graham, a long -time friend of Trump, said he weighs the incident on the president.
“I think it’s always in the back of his mind,” Graham said. “He’s still a rough and drum man … but he’s more grateful. He’s more attentive to his friends.”
Graham added, “It’s just a miracle that he’s not dead. He was definitely a man who believed he had a second rent.”
“He believes he is now protected by the Lord”
Long -time advisor Roger Stone said Trump has become “more balanced and decisive” since the attack. “He told me that he believed he had been spared God to restore the nation to size.”
Ralph Reed, head of the coalition of faith and freedom, agreed that the event had a deep impact. “He knew he was lucky to be alive,” Reed said. “It is difficult not to feel at a certain level that the hand of the Providence protected him for some greater purpose.”
Memory
Rather than avoiding the reminder of the attack, Trump accepted him as a symbol of his resistance. Painting, which stands after shooting, fist raised in defiance, now hangs in the foyer of the White House. The bronze statue of the same moment sits in an oval office next to the resolute desks.
Spiritual awakening?
Susie Wiles, Chief of Staff Trump and the former campaign manager, said last week in an interview with Podcast that Trump “left shooting and believed that he had been spared for some reason”.
She attributed the divine intervention and explained how Trump’s decision to apply for a particular chart at some point caused him to turn his head enough to avoid a deadly shot. “That just won’t happen because it happened,” she said. “It happened because I believe God wanted him to live.”
According to Wiles, Trump’s expressions like “God Bless America” have since taken a deeper meaning. “Now it’s deeper and it’s more personal.”
“It’s a dangerous business”
Trump often refers to the event in the manifestations and even credited the border chart – the visual assistance that he turned to moments before the shot – to save his life. “I have the pulsating feeling once in a while,” he told journalists last month, pointing to his ear. “But you know what, that’s okay. It’s a dangerous company. What I’m doing is a dangerous trade.”
“I was really saved”
On Saturday in an interview for Fox News, Trump himself acknowledged that he had left a permanent imprint. “I have a duty to do a good job, I feel because I was really saved,” he said. “I owe a lot. And I think – I hope – the reason I was saved was to save our country.”
From the brush with death after the FIFA finals
Trump will spend the anniversary of the shooting Butler, who participates in the FIFA World Cup final in New Jersey. He and Melania Trump are expected at the MetLife stadium for the match between Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea-on the event considered as the view of the World Championship 2026, which will be North America host.

Secret Service Fallout: Suspension
10 July, the US Secret Service confirmed that six agents were suspended for failing to prevent Butler’s 2024. Under intensive inspection, the agency said the suspension ranged from 10 to 42 days. Director Sean Curran has since resigned.
“There were errors. And this was not supposed to happen,” Trump said in an interview with Fox, pointing out the lack of roof supervision and failure of communication with the local police.
Secret Service says it introduced 21 out of 46 surveillance recommendations with other 16 ongoing. It also increases protective measures, including new golf course protocols – a nod to another confused attack just two months after Butler when a man with a rifle was seen near one of Trump’s Florida properties.
