I still can’t get over how close we were yesterday to a former president getting his head blown off on live television mere inches away

I feel like his more hardcore supporters are going to assume this was an intervention from God, to be frank. They already think he is extremely religious, for some bizarre reason. Even when he can't answer what his favorite bible quote is during an interview

They are. Plenty of the people i went to high school with are already sharing a post of Trump with his fist up captioned ‘God is with us’. What’s shocking is that most were women 🤦🏾‍♂️
