The Catholic Defender: It was two years ago today that Jesus and Mary saved President Trump's life from a Demoniac Assassin

Exactly two years ago today, on July 13, 2024, Donald Trump survived an assassination attempt at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, when a bullet grazed his ear. 

Following the incident, Trump, various political allies, and religious groups widely credited divine intervention for sparing his life. Some conservative Catholic commentators and supporters attributed his survival to the intercession of Jesus and Mary, specifically noting the date's alignment with the apparitions of Our Lady of Fatima. 

The shooter, identified as Thomas Crooks, was neutralized at the scene by law enforcement.

Donald Trump has frequently and publicly thanked God for sparing his life during the July 2024 assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania. He has expressed his belief on numerous occasions—including his Inaugural Address—that divine intervention spared him so that he could "make America great again". 

While it is widely known that the First Lady is Catholic and has been photographed praying the Rosary at religious sites internationally

The assassination attempt against President Trump in Butler, PA, occurred on July 13, 2024.

Our Lady of Fatima: Because the shooting occurred on the 13th of the month—the exact date of the 1917 Marian apparitions in Fatima, Portugal—it sparked online discussion within the Catholic community connecting the event to Our Lady of Fatima and the power of the Rosary. 

Divine Protection: In interviews marking the anniversary of the shooting, Trump reiterated his belief that he survived because "God was watching" and that his life was spared for a purpose. He frequently points out that a split-second head turn to look at an immigration chart narrowly deflected the bullet from a fatal trajectory.

Marian Images: Following the event, viral AI-generated images circulated online depicting the Virgin Mary or Jesus physically deflecting the bullet. Some Catholic commentators and faith groups also connected his survival to the feast day of Our Lady of Fatima, which shares the July 13 date.
