Did God save Donald Trump?

The man who wants and expects to become the 47th president of the United States has declared that God is on his side which is why he survived the assassination attemnpt. That sort of comment will really go down well with Republican voters and might even make some Democratic voters think twice about whether, after all, to swap their allegiance to the man who miraculously dodged a bullet. God and religion and faith are all key ingredients in the American way of life, far more so than in Britain where religion is having a hard time. The churches are emptying. In the US, God plays a part in politics but rarely in Britain. Tony Blair when he was Labour prime minister, famously glanced upwards to the heavens when he was asked a question about his leadership success. But usually politicians steer clear of religion in this country. In the US it's a very different story. So Trump's gratitude to God for saving his life will run true for many Americans. After all, every president in US history has always said at the end of a speech or address, God Bless America. Now the cry will be God Bless Trump!
