3:05Now PlayingPresident Donald Trump said during his March 4 address to a joint session of Congress that he was saved from assassination by God to make America great again.
Once again detailing the assassination attempt that threatened his life at a July rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, Trump honored Corey Comperatore, a firefighter who was killed by stray bullets. Comperatore’s wife and two daughters were in attendance at Trump’s address.
“I believe that my life was saved that day in Butler for a very good reason,” Trump said. “I was saved by God to make America great again. I believe that.”
Trump has moved to deliver on some of his campaign promises at breakneck speed, signing more than 75 executive orders in little more than a month. Thousands of federal workers have been fired at the direction of the Department of Government Efficiency and Trump adviser and billionaire Elon Musk.
Close to half of Americans in the latest PBS News/NPR/Marist poll disapprove of Trump’s job performance so far, but his approval rating, at 45 percent, is higher than at any point of his first term. While 54 percent of Americans think the country is headed in the wrong direction, 45 percent believe the country is on the right track, a 10-point jump from December 2024.
