‘I was saved by God to make America great again,’ Trump says
Tuesday January 21 2025
“Over the past eight years, I have been tested and challenged more than any president in our 250-year history. And I've learned a lot along the way. The journey to reclaim our republic has not been an easy one, that I can tell you. Those who wish to stop our cause have tried to take my freedom and indeed to take my life. Just a few months ago, in a beautiful Pennsylvania field, an assassin's bullet ripped through my ear. But I felt then and believe even more so now that my life was saved for a reason. I was saved by God to make America great again.’
U.S. President Donald Trump was sworn in on Monday (January 20).
“I was saved by God to make America great again,” Trump said recounting his assassination attempt last year during a rally in Pennsylvania.
Trump's inauguration completes a triumphant comeback for a political disruptor who survived two impeachment trials, a felony conviction, two assassination attempts and an indictment for attempting to overturn his 2020 election loss.
