I am writing this to express my shock and sorrow over the assassination attempt on our former President Donald J Trump, who was shot by an assassin on July 13, while he was delivering a speech at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
I am also writing to offer my prayers and condolences to the former president, his family, and the other victims of this heinous act of violence. I pray that God will heal their wounds, comfort their hearts, and grant them peace and justice.
As a loyal supporter and admirer of President Trump, I have always appreciated his courage, honesty, and patriotism. He has been a champion of the American people, a defender of our constitutional rights, and a leader who has fought tirelessly to make our country great again.
He has endured countless attacks, lies, and slanders, but he has never given up or backed down. He has always stood up for what is right and true, and he has always put America first. As he walked off the podium on July 13 with his spilled blood on his face, he again encouraged us as Americans to move forward and to fight for our democracy and we must continue to do so!
Trump alive by the grace of God
That is why I believe that God has a special plan and purpose for President Trump, and that he has not finished his work on this earth. I believe that God was watching over him on that fateful day, and that he spared his life by a miracle.
I believe that God has more to reveal and accomplish through President Trump, and that he will use him to expose the evil and corruption that has plagued our nation and our world. I believe that President Trump is a chosen instrument of God, and that he will fulfill his destiny and his calling when he is re-elected as president on November 5.
As Chairman of the local GOP, I can relate to President Trump's situation, because I have also experienced God's grace and protection in a similar way. On March 29th, 2006, while fighting the enemies of freedom in Afghanistan I too was grazed by a bullet to my face during a firefight with evil. If I had been to my left one inch I would not be here today. My fellow soldiers and doctors told me that I was very lucky, and that it was a miracle that I was alive.
But I know that it was not luck or coincidence, but God's hand that saved me. I know that God was watching over me, and that he had a reason for sparing my life. God knew that my family would need me seven years later with the tragic passing of my son and I believe that God knows that our nation needs the former President now more than ever and that is why he was protecting him yesterday and will continue to protect him.
Republicans must stand united and determined against evil
As Republicans we support the democratic process, and we encourage all voters to make their voice be heard by supporting their candidates in a respectful and peaceful way. We condemn the violence and senseless tragedy that occurred on July 13, and we stand united behind our candidate and future President Donald J. Trump.
As President Trump stated, we will not fear but instead remain resilient in our faith and defiant in the face of wickedness.
Our love and prayers go out to the victims and their families, and we will pray for the recovery of those wounded and hold in our hearts the memory of the citizen who was killed tragically.
In this moment, it is more important than ever that we stand united, and show our true character as Americans, remaining strong and determined, and not allowing evil to win.
In conclusion, I want to say that I am grateful and thankful to God for his grace and protection over my life and over President Trump's life. I want to say that I am praying and hoping for President Trump's full and speedy recovery, and for his continued leadership and influence in our nation and our world. I want to say that I am standing with President Trump, and that I will always support and defend him against his enemies and his critics.
May God bless you, and may God bless the United States of America.
