Donald Trump and George Washington

Both Protected by an Invisible Hand

Jul 20, 2024

Let me start off by saying, thank God Donald Trump is alright, and I pray for those injured and the family of the deceased. When I say this, I really mean it. Thank you God for sparing Donald Trump’s life, It’s clear to me divine intervention occurred, and I don’t think I’m alone in believing this. With the joy that comes from Donald Trump’s life being spared, my heart is still heavy over the innocent life that was taken.

As of the writing of this, I would assume 5% of the information surrounding the assassination attempt on Trump is out and known to the public. Much more will be learned as each day passes, and disinformation will be passed around to muddy the waters. With that being said, there are some things I am already pretty confident in saying two days after the assassination attempt—some things I believe to be true, some things I believe not to be true, and trends that seem to be occurring.

The trend that seems to be occurring since the shooting is that it is no longer acceptable to verbally attack Trump anymore. It is now political suicide to go after Trump, but it goes beyond that, now, as insensitivity may now cost some their relationships, their influence or their jobs.

The demonically-possessed with Trump Derangement Syndrome have had free roam to say whatever ridiculous or callous things that come into their minds. This ended following the assassination attempt. No longer can insensitive comments about Trump be made without there also being consequences. This is a very new thing. For almost a decade there has been no consequences for attacking Trump. No loss of relationships, no loss of jobs, no loss of influence, no loss of power, in fact, the opposite has been the case. But now it seems the tide has turned.

Since the assassination attempt, it has now become acceptable to publicly support Trump. This was not a gradual change, but happened overnight. Closeted Trump supporters can now publicly and openly show support for Trump. When Trump stood up after being struck by a bullet, he held his fist up in the air yelling, “fight, fight, fight!” This iconic moment was him telling the people who want him dead that he refuses to go away. He was telling Americans that they no longer need to hide; in fact, they must refuse to cower. It’s time to be strong. It’s time to take back our country.

What we haven’t seen in the aftermath of the assassination attempt is rioting, and looting, and the destruction of cities. The narrative that has been pushed since even before J6 has been that MAGA incites violence. More recently, the narrative has been that if Trump was to regain power, Trump and MAGA would use that power to eliminate anyone and anything that opposes them. Following the drug overdose of a career criminal in 2020, the Liberals rioted, looted, burned down cities and killed innocent people. Following the attempted assassination of Trump, his supporters are thanking God that he is alive. A stark difference.

With a tiny fraction of the evidence and information out on the assassination attempt, there are some things I feel confident in saying:

As I already mentioned, I believe God’s protective hand was involved in keeping Trump safe. I think it’s also clear that Trump is not entirely insulated. He may have been at one time, but he wasn’t in Butler, Pennsylvania on the evening of July 13, 2024. Notice at the RNC Convention how big and burly his Secret Service are now. Hopefully the Butler shooting was a more isolated event stemming from his inadequate security.

I don’t believe the young man who is said to have fired at Trump acted alone as the FBI has already claimed. It’s interesting how the FBI can make an assertion like this so quickly. They couldn’t open up the young man’s phone, but they are confident in saying he acted alone. These are the same people who still don’t have any clarity on the Las Vegas Massacre that occurred in October of 2017, but they can confidently state the gunman in Butler, Pennsylvania acted alone a day after the incident occurred.

Unlike the Las Vegas Massacre, I don’t think we will need to wait very long to get the full details of this failed assassination attempt. They are making it obvious to us. We are being told the noodle-armed-nerd that allegedly shot at Trump carried a 12-foot ladder, 50 rounds of ammo and an AR 15 a mile to the rally. Somehow, this didn’t pique anyone’s interest. We are also being told the boy was asked to leave his high school rifle club because he was such a bad shot. Who knows how much of this is true, but this is the story we are being told.

Strangely, following Biden’s dumpster fire of a Presidential Debate, DJT stock fell hard. This is the opposite of what one would have expected. It makes no sense. Now it is being told to us that the stock fell in price because some on Wall Street were shorting the stock, meaning they were betting that it would plummet in the near future. What did they know? It appears they knew the assassination of Trump would occur. Needless to say, these Deep State players have stepped right into a bear trap.

I’m confident in saying I believe the assassination attempt on Trump was an inside job. There is no way Wall Street investors could have known a lone gunman was going to kill Trump in a few days. There is no possible way the security could be as incompetent as we are being told to believe. This isn’t to say they aren’t incompetent, just that they couldn’t be THAT incompetent. I believe at least some in law enforcement and the Secret Service were involved in coordinating and allowing the assassination attempt to occur.

The obvious questions have to be asked, how did the shooter climb a 12-foot ladder to the roof of the closest building with an AR 15 and a clear vantage point of Trump without drawing attention? Why were there no drones surveilling the area? Why was there no security on the roofs of these nearby structures to begin with? And no I don’t believe the slope was too dangerous.

Why did law enforcement refuse to act when told of the shooter by rallygoers? Why did the sniper wait until the shooter fired off several rounds before firing back? He was clearly watching the shooter through his scope long before the shooting began. Why did the shooter use an AR 15 instead of a hunting or sniper rifle? How do we even know the shots fired came from the alleged shooter that was killed?

It’s okay to question everything at this point; most of us accept the shots that killed JFK didn’t come from Oswald’s rifle. And speaking of JFK, whoever tried to shoot Trump, tried to make it a head shot. The aftermath visual would have traumatized the world, traumatized many back into submission.

Honestly, Trump would have been safer at his rally if he had gone to a local biker bar an hour before the rally and recruited his security, offering to pay them in beer. This isn’t a slight on law enforcement or the Secret Service in general, I just refuse to accept they were as incompetent as we are being led to believe. Therefore, in my opinion, it had to be an inside job. It’s harder to argue otherwise. As we’ve experienced over and over, the narrative that is initially forced on us is rarely the full truth.

If, as I believe, this assassination attempt was an inside job, coordinated and allowed to happen by the Deep State, then why would they place all their hopes on this young man actually killing Trump? Logic tells me there had to be another or other shooters. They could easily predict that Paula Blart/mall cop/Secret Service agent would cower in fear behind Trump while the shooting occurred, but they couldn’t assume the shooter would actually be able to kill Trump.

It is too early and not nearly enough evidence and information has surfaced to have a complete understanding of the assassination attempt, exactly who was involved and who allowed it to occur. In time, it will all unfold, and I’m sure those involved will be punished for their treason. In the aftermath, I am just very thankful that Donald Trump is alive and well and even more motivated to put an end to the Deep State Cabal.

This assassination attempt reminds me of an American legend, or rather, the hand of God protecting Trump and the miracle of him surviving this attack, reminds me of a legendary story.

This story involves an incident that occurred only 30 miles from Butler, Pennsylvania in the area known today as Pittsburgh. It occurred on July 9, 1755, 269 years and four days ago, and involved America’s founding president, George Washington.

From the August 15, 2013, article by Dr. Bo Wagner published in the Cleveland Corner:

On July 9, 1755, there was a battle that took place during the French and Indian War, the battle of Monongahela. During the two-hour battle, 23-year-old Colonel George Washington had ridden back and forth on the battlefield, delivering the general's orders to other officers and troops. The Indians had been specifically targeting the officers. Of the 86 British and American officers, 63 were casualties. Washington was the only officer on horseback not shot down. Following the battle, Washington wrote a letter to his brother in which he said:
"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 [I] escaped unhurt, although death was leveling my companions on every side of me!"
Did you get that? After the battle, he took off his coat and found four bullet holes through it... but no bullets in him. Do you know what you call that? A miracle!
Fifteen years later he was back in that area, and an old, respected Indian chief sought out Washington. When he found him, he explained that he had been the one leading the Indians against them in the battle fifteen years earlier. He then revealed to Washington what had occurred behind the scenes during the conflict.
He said: "I called to my young men and said, mark yon tall and daring warrior [Washington]? ...Himself is alone exposed. Quick, let your aim be certain, and he dies. Our rifles were leveled, rifles which, but for you, knew not how to miss. 'twas all in vain, a power mightier far than we shielded you. Seeing you were under the special guardianship of the Great Spirit, we immediately ceased to fire at you... I have come to pay homage to the man who is the particular favorite of Heaven, and who can never die in battle."
Those Indians, who could not miss anyone else, specifically aimed at George Washington and fired at him over and over and over again, and for some reason, the bullets never would hit him! They would go through his coat, which was on his body, but somehow, they never made it to his body, they just ceased to exist in the 1/8 of an inch between his coat and his body. That old Indian chief was right; Washington was the particular favorite of Heaven. God raised him up specifically to lead our nation against Britain in our hour of greatest need.

From the New York Post on July 14, 2024, the day following the failed assassination attempt on Trump’s life:

A grateful and at times defiant Donald Trump told The Post Sunday he’s “supposed to be dead” as he recalled the harrowing moment a would-be assassin shot at him at a Pennsylvania campaign rally.
The former president shared the “very surreal experience” that nearly ended his life during an interview aboard his private plane en route to Milwaukee for the GOP National Convention.
“The doctor at the hospital said he never saw anything like this, he called it a miracle,” said Trump, who was sporting a large, loose white bandage that covered his right ear. His staff insisted that no photos be taken.
“I’m not supposed to be here, I’m supposed to be dead,” Trump said. “I’m supposed to be dead.”

I believe both men have been chosen by God and protected by God. One was chosen to make America, and the other to make America great again.

If this is what is meant by Trump being insulated, then I retract my previous comment about Trump not being insulated on the evening of July 13, 2024. It brings a literal sense to the expression, “nothing can stop what is coming” … not even an assassin’s bullet.

I’ll be the first to admit, when I first heard that an assassination attempt was made on Trump, I was thankful that he survived it relatively unscathed, but I became angry that it was allowed to occur. I thought, ‘what would we do if we lost Trump?’ Who could possibly take his place?’ Thankfully, we don’t need to answer these questions today.

When Trump was tackled to the ground by the Secret Service, he knew he needed to let the Deep State Cabal know that he would not cower in fear. He would not give up. They will not win. He gave the American people an example of how they should live their lives: without fear. We must stand strong. We must stand united.

I come away from the assassination attempt with a renewed spirt. A renewed confidence. A renewed understanding of what must occur and what will occur. This is much bigger than just another four-year election. It isn’t about the Republicans taking the White House back for another four years. It is the dismantling and rebuilding of an entire new system.

Yet even this doesn’t fully explain the enormity of the situation. It is a spiritual war. A war the enemy has discovered they can’t win.

Today, many who despise Trump are having to reconsider their understanding of him. Some who believe Trump is just another Deep State puppet witnessed Trump come within an inch from death. Those who believe Trump is a hate-filled man, are experiencing a man who is humbled and appreciative of being alive. Those who believe Trump is just in it for the money are seeing a man who is willing to die for his country.

Walls are being torn down; attitudes are being changed. While I don’t believe for a second that the assassination attempt was staged, I believe this horrific incident is being used to heal the country, to unite the nation.

The shot heard around the world didn’t result in the death of Trump, or the death of MAGA, or the death of America. The shot heard around the world resulted in the death of the Deep State Cabal.
