House Speaker Mike Johnson on Tuesday said he believes Donald Trump’s life and presidency were preserved by divine providence. “God miraculously saved the president’s life … and he did it for an obvious purpose,” Johnson said, adding that Trump “points that out all the time and he’s right to do so.” Johnson did not elaborate on which specific events he viewed as evidence of divine intervention, but framed Trump’s political ascendance as part of a broader religious plan.
