President Trump stood before Congress Tuesday night, a survivor with a purpose. “I was saved by the Grace of God Almighty through two assassination attempts,” he declared, framing his second term as a divine mandate “to fight and Make America Great Again.” Republicans erupted in “USA!” chants, electrified by his words.
He recounted the near-misses with conviction. On July 13 in Butler, Pennsylvania, a bullet grazed his ear as he turned his head—an inch from death. Then, on September 14 at his Florida golf course, Secret Service nabbed a rifleman with armor-piercing rounds. “I shouldn’t be here tonight—but I am,” Trump said.
This wasn’t just a speech—it was a testimony. “I made a promise to God that I would never give up,” he told lawmakers, vowing to rescue a nation “in decline.” Conservatives see this as proof Trump’s not just a leader, but a chosen instrument for America’s renewal.
His agenda reflects that holy fire. He pitched tax cuts dropping manufacturers’ rates to 15 percent, 25 percent tariffs on Canada and Mexico to curb illegal immigration, and a ban on federal funding for child gender transitions. Republicans cheered each move as steps to reclaim America’s soul.
Trump honored a hero to drive it home. January Littlejohn, a Florida mom who fought her daughter’s school over a secret gender transition, sat in the gallery. “You are perfect just as God made you,” he said, a line conservatives hailed as divine truth against woke chaos.
Democrats tried to derail him. Rep. Al Green was ejected for shouting, others walked out, but Trump pressed on. “The forgotten men and women of America spoke loud and clear,” he said, claiming a popular vote win—a mandate conservatives say God blessed.
The assassination attempts aren’t abstract. In Butler, 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks fired from 400 feet; in Florida, Ryan Wesley Routh aimed to “take him out.” Trump turned survival into strength, telling Congress, “We will fight, we will win,” with a resolve Republicans call heaven-sent.
His vision’s sweeping. Tariffs to boost jobs, deregulation to free businesses, border security to stop drugs—Trump tied it all to his holy mission. Posts on X from supporters called it “God’s plan unfolding,” a sentiment echoing across the heartland.
Republicans see a leader transformed. Trump’s first term was grit; this one’s guided by faith. Honoring Littlejohn wasn’t random—it’s a sign he’s battling for kids, families, and values, just as God spared him to do, conservatives argue.
The night was a triumph. A CBS poll showed 82 percent of viewers approved, with 97 percent of Republicans on board. Trump’s holy mission isn’t talk—it’s action, and conservatives believe it’s divinely timed to heal a fractured nation.
America’s faithful stand ready. Trump’s not just back—he’s on a crusade, saved twice to save the country. Republicans say this is their moment: a president with God’s hand on him, driving out decline and bringing greatness back.
