yes, god saved trump  a slight turn of the head. less than a half an inch. thats all that stood between life and death for president donald trump on july 13 in a pennsylvania field. this is a sobering fact that he will internalize and grapple with for the rest of his life. some believe that god intervened in that moment. they are correct. there will be those who will mock and ridicule the expressions of faith at the republican national convention. they will declare as preposterous any notion that god saved mr. trump from assassination. they will ask how god could possibly save the life of such an imperfect and contentious figure. in doing so, they will not only show their ignorance of the bible but also their lack of understanding of what makes the united states of america an exceptional nation. if you believe that there is a god. if you believe that america is no ordinary nation. if you believe that we are the last best hope of earth standing in the way of despotism, as president abraham lincoln rightly declared. then it is perfectly logical and even necessary to accept that the almighty has a hand in our affairs. such was a firm conviction of george washington once wrote of escaping close calls with death, but by the all-powerful dispensations of providence, i have been protected beyond all human probability or expectation; for i had four bullets through my coat, and two horses shot under me, yet escaped unhurt, although death was leveling my companions on every side of me. according to gallup, more than 80% of americans believe in god. while that number has fallen somewhat over the last decade, the idea that humans are the product of a greater power is still a mainstream idea. that bodes well for the future of an america guided by a constitution that john adams said was constructed for a moral and religious people. god in heaven and christ on earth are often called the most unlikely, unwilling and imperfect to have the chance to carry his message.
