I was watching the assassination attempt of President Trump live, and when I saw him go down to the floor as the Secret Service piled around him after he grabbed the side of his head, I thought that was it. I admired Trump a lot as he got to his feet with bodies and hands trying to cover him from more gunfire that was coming from a nearby roof, where a young kid let off eight rounds toward Trump and the crowd at a Pennsylvania rally, killing innocent people while also striking Trump. When Trump stood up with blood running down the side of his head and pumped his fist to the crowd, yelling, “Fight,” I thought he had about 15 seconds to live. Because a bullet had hit him, and it wouldn’t take but a few seconds for him to bleed out. At that moment, he knew he had been shot, and if it was the last thing on earth that he could do, he was telling the crowd to “Fight.” I was very proud of Trump. He didn’t have to be doing any of this. He didn’t need all this trouble. He’s one of the wealthiest people in the world; he didn’t need to be at that rally on a nice July day running for President. But there he was, shot by some kid named Thomas Matthew Crooks just moments away from possibly his lights going out forever, and he was back on his feet telling the crowd to fight. And my first thought was, “That is a man. That’s what presidents should all look like. And he has been great for America.” As sad as that event was, because there were real casualties from the gunfire that hit innocent people behind Trump, I was thrilled to see that the bullet had just grazed Trump in the ear, about as close as possible without being lethal, and that Trump was going to live to fight another day.
When she heard the news live, my wife was out getting gas and snacks at Kroger with my grandchildren. The cashier and a customer discussed it as she stepped up to pay. My wife lost it when she heard that Trump had been shot, and she essentially went into a conscious coma. Crying because she had met Trump and dearly loves Trump, she came home to see if I knew what was happening and wanted me to do something about it. Then my wife realized that she paid for the gas but never got it; she left again to go and get it, as she was still upset and staggering, looking for answers. By the time she went back to get the gas, we knew then that the bullet didn’t kill Trump and that he was just grazed. And he would live to fight on. But it certainly provided context to the world we are living in, which is at war. I’m honestly surprised that there haven’t been more assassination attempts against Trump, but this was a desperate attempt by a failing left political party. The big question was how alone this kid was, and how much did a more significant plot play in the background to provoke such a person into action to go to that rally with an AR-15, climb onto the roof of a building outside the security parameter, and shoot at people knowing the ramifications for doing so would end his life, one way or the other. The next thought I had was that the CIA was involved as tools of the deep state, just as they did with JFK, and that they had found a way to push this kid through psychological manipulation into taking a step they desired but couldn’t afford to do themselves. The kid was killed, so we likely will never know, and there are a lot of creepy circumstances pointing to that thought process in the aftermath. But for the moment, all that mattered was learning that Trump would live and be fine.
After all they have thrown at Trump, and even the other day Biden made references to targeting Trump further as the election drew nearer, the ominous reality of just how bad things are came into sharp focus for many people. As the events unfolded, Steve Bannon emailed from jail, where he and Peter Navarro were serving time by the crooked January 6th Commission who did not honor their Executive Immunity as White House staff. Steve Bannon, before he had to report to jail on July 1st, predicted there would be assassination attempts against Trump, and he was right. It’s been a while since people have seen one, but just remember it was recently that the Prime Minister of Japan was shot to death in a very similar way. And Bolsonaro in Brazil was stabbed in public, obviously intending to kill him with assassination. Around the world, where the communist infusion of global politics has gone hard at work to develop radical young kids like this Trump shooter to do their dirty work, this is a widespread problem. It is much more common than people have been willing to admit to. And now a purposeful attempt against Trump’s life had been discharged, and it terrified people to just how bad the situation is and has been. They, being the organization of the Administrative State, have literally thrown everything they have at Trump and his immediate supporters like Bannon, jailing them, bankrupting them, prosecuting them in every way possible, and, of course, literally trying to kill them. That kid in Pennsylvania killed people, and when he pulled the trigger to that rifle while lying on the roof, he meant to kill the President. Why would a 20-year-old kid ever want to do such a thing?
There is a lot to learn from all this, but the main thing is to admire Trump for the courage he showed while under fire. And for the cool state of mind, he maintained while literal death was at his doorstep. I am very proud that Trump is running for president. That is the kind of attitude I expect from people in general, but especially from someone who wants to lead America. As reports came from Trump himself on Truth Social minutes after this assassination attempt that he was going to be okay, and he acknowledged the members of the family of the Trump supporter who had been killed, I thought of the assassination of President Lincoln. It’s always Democrats who are trying to kill Republicans. When Democrats don’t get their way, they always seem to turn to violence. And that was the case with this Trump assassination attempt, the ultimate form of election fraud. The hate is very real, and our public schools breed this mentality of hate into our youth. we saw an example of their activity in the deadliest way that it can be presented. And it showed in the aftermath an absolute evil working in the background. I found it ironic that people quickly were turning to the Bible to explain what they were feeling, and they saw as a point of comfort the Ephesians quote from chapter 6 that I like so much on the Armour of God. Yes, what happened to Trump is consistent with that Bible verse. God does tend to protect those who are doing his work. And Trump is, and he does enjoy a level of protection, and the hand of God was evident on this otherwise horrendous day, protected. God saved Trump, and Trump dared to continue to fight for what was right with that armor of God. And people had a wake-up call that was probably necessary, and very much needed. God does work in mysterious ways to our eyes. But on the big picture, everything is moving along as required. And fighting for that future is very much our present concern regardless of the risks or consequences.
