4 highlights from the White House Summit of Faith and Business Leaders
3. Trump says his life was 'saved by God to make America great again'
As Trump continued to talk about what has transpired during his administration, he noted that the White House gathering took place one day after the first anniversary of the Butler, Pennsylvania, campaign rally, where an assassin's bullet nearly ended his life.
"It's remarkable to think that it was only one year ago this week that my time on earth nearly ended," Trump asserted. "And if you look at that, God was with me because that's something," he added. "In theory, I should not be with you today."
After the attendees erupted into applause, Trump insisted that "my life was saved by God to really make America great again." The president echoed what he has articulated in previous remarks about his assassination attempt, noting how his sons, who are avid shooters, informed him that "at that distance with that gun, you didn't have a chance."
"Some people say it was lucky, and some people say something else. I say something else. I think God helped us," he concluded.
