Following two assassination attempts in the past two months, Former President Donald Trump says he has been thinking more about God. Trump appeared on Fox News' late-night show "Gutfeld!", marking his first appearance on a broadcast or cable late-night show in an election cycle since 2016. According to The Christian Post, he first made light-hearted comments about the most recent attempt against his life on a golf course in Palm Beach, Florida, last weekend.
"Well, Mr. P, how's your golf game?" host Greg Gutfeld asked.
"Well, I haven't been thinking about it too much lately," Trump said. "I always said golf is a very dangerous game."
The discussion then took a more serious tone as Trump reflected on the dangers of being president, especially if one's presidency is viewed as "consequential."
"The only good thing is that it's always a consequential president that gets shot at, and fortunately, so far, I've been very lucky," Trump said, adding, "Or [there is] something is greater than all of us."
"Something is up there; someone is up there, maybe watching over us," Trump said.
Gutfeld then asked Trump if his close calls with death have prompted him to think more about God, mortality, and the afterlife.
"You bring up God, and you've almost been killed twice," Gutfeld said. "Do you think more about your own mortality and what happens after you move on?"
Trump admitted that he has been thinking more about God, especially when he avoided an assassin's bullet on July 13 in Butler, Pennsylvania.
"Not about mortality, but I do think more about God. Butler was really the greatest of all miracles."
He noted how he could have been fatally shot in the head had he not slightly turned his face when talking about a large chart with illegal immigration that they usually use at rallies.
"I wouldn't be here right now, and your ratings would be a little bit lower, perhaps," he joked to Gutfeld.
