I suspect there aren’t a ton of people who think of former President Donald Trump when it comes to talk of spirituality and God and evangelizing. And yet, since his near miss with death in the failed July 13 assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania, Trump has repeatedly referred to the fact that the bullet that struck him nicked his ear rather than causing far more serious damage as “a miracle.”
Monday evening was no exception as Trump sat down with Twitter/X owner Elon Musk for a “Spaces” conversation that nearly broke the internet. (After a rough start, attributed by Musk to a DDOS attack, the two were finally able to start chatting.)

Right off the bat, Musk raised the failed attempt and his admiration for how Trump handled it in the moment….
