NASHVILLE, TN – Faith leaders and Christians throughout Tennessee were excited when President Donald Trump shared a deeply personal transformation testimony at the 73rd annual National Prayer Breakfast in Washington, D.C. on Thursday. The President recounted how an assassination attempt during a campaign event brought him closer to God and strengthened his faith.
Trump recalled the chilling moment on July 13, 2024, in Butler, Pennsylvania, when a bullet struck him in the ear during a campaign rally. The attack left two spectators injured and claimed the life of Corey Comperatore, a husband, father, and volunteer firefighter.
âYou Never Know When Your Time Will Be Upâ
Addressing the crowd, Trump shared the sobering reality of facing death: âNone of us knows exactly when our time on earth will be over. You never know â a truth I confronted a few short months ago when there was an incident that ⊠was not fun.â
The president has repeatedly said that divine intervention saved him that day, and on Thursday, he doubled down on this belief. He explained how a simple turn of his headâtoward an immigration chart he was referencingâbecame a life-saving move.
âGod was watching me,â Trump said, adding humor to the tense moment by joking, âimmigration saved my life.â
âIt Didnât Touch My Hairâ
Trumpâs signature wit surfaced again as he assured the audience that the gunshot didnât harm his iconic hairstyle.
âIt didnât affect my hair â can you believe it?â he quipped. âIt might have touched it, but not where it counts.â
But as the mood shifted, Trump reflected on how the experience changed him on a much deeper level.
âIt Changed Something in Meâ
With emotion in his voice, Trump revealed how the attempt on his life had a profound effect. âIt changed something in me,â he said. âI feel even stronger. I believed in God, but I feel much more strongly about it. Something happened.â
He linked this revelation to the broader need for appreciating life, stating, âBut that event, like the tragedy last week, should remind us that we have to make the most out of every single day that we have.â
Faith as the Key to Happiness
Trump ended his speech by emphasizing the importance of religion in finding true fulfillment. âPeople of religion are going to be happy again, and I really believe you canât be happy without religion â without that belief,â he said. âI just donât see how you can. So, letâs bring religion back. Letâs bring God back to our lives.â
Fighting Anti-Christian Bias
Trump also addressed another major initiative during the event. He announced the formation of a task force designed to combat anti-Christian bias within the federal government.
Attorney General Pam Bondi will lead the effort to stamp out âall forms of anti-Christian targeting and discrimination within the federal government,â with immediate actions planned.
Trumpâs remarks left little doubt about his commitment to faith and its role in shaping the countryâs future.
