I find one of Trump's sillier talking points is that he "took a bullet for you", referring to the assassination attempt.

"Taking a bullet" means deliberately putting yourself in danger to protect someone else. It's what Secret Service agents do when they interpose themselves between a shooter and the President. It's what the DC Police officers did when they were trying to protect the Capitol from the Jan 6 rioters. Soldiers do it to protect their brothers in arms.

Trump didn't do anything heroic when he was the target of an assassination, unless you think just appearing in public is inherently risky. And since then, they've been putting him behind bulletproof glass in many of his rallies, so he's not really willing to risk his life.

And if God was really protecting him, why was there a shooter in the first place? I love the twisted logic of religious people when they justify things like this.
