Former President Donald Trump escaped a second assassination attempt unharmed Sunday after the Secret Service fired at a man attempting to shoot him while he was playing golf at the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida, thereby thwarting the intended act of violence. While the gunman escaped, a witness identified the license plate number of his getaway vehicle and he was later arrested in Martin County, Florida.

Sunday’s assassination attempt marks the second time in the past two months that the Republican nominee for president has found himself the target of gunfire. At a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, two months ago, an assassin’s bullet grazed the candidate’s ear while one rally attendee was fatally killed and others were wounded by gunfire.

Prominent Christian leaders in the United States have reacted to the latest assassination attempt against Trump, who remains locked in a tight race with Vice President Kamala Harris ahead of the 2024 presidential election.

Continued below.

Live by the sword, die by the sword.
Trump's rhetoric angers crazy people. His political tactic is to lie to people and create anger. Anger the wrong people and you face the consequences of that anger.

Democrats add fuel to the fire as well. Politics have become toxic all the way around.

Trump political tactics are to speak the truth that the globalists and the progressive far left don't want to hear.

Trump doesn't speak the truth, though. Most of his rhetoric has been proven false.

I pray for the end of all violence against our candidates, and a spirit of collaboration.
Both parties can contribute to this spirit by preventing a government shutdown 9/30.
America's need to pay its bills is not political. It's imperative to keep our credit rating in the world and avoid economic collapse.
Just as inflation was a global phenomenon, so too would U.S. default be.
And its effect on your families' lives would be far worse than higher food and gas prices.

So you want both parties to come together to spend even more money and indebt future generations even more? What is your game Fantine, I thought you would have been for unlimited money printing for whatever Socialist policies you desire to implement.

Also, why do you oppose violence against a potential Hitler?

That is incorrect.
No, but is the truth. All of his 2020 election fraud claims were debunked.
The Joe Biden investigation was proven wrong.
His claims that he didn't assault Ms. Carroll were proven wrong in court.
The immigrants eating pets was proven a lie.
His claims that it didn't rain at his
inauguration was lie.
The crowd size was a lie.
He lied about COVID-19.
He lied about Veterans Choice.
Fact Checkers caught over 30,000 lies told by Trump during the 4 years that he was President. He continues to tell lie after lie

We can join in the prayers of the Christian pastors asking God to protect the former president as well as all candidates.
In praying for an end to these threats, we are not supporting Trump's reelection, and we are not begging for his protection because of preconceived notions that he was chosen by God.
We can pray for him even if we are working day and night for Harris' election, and even if we feel that God would be more likely to "choose" anybody in preference to Trump.
I know that for many of us it's extremely upsetting to see the leaders of Christian flocks to be so blatantly partisan in favor of a candidate whose character and values we find suspect.
We can pray for their enlightenment while we're at it!

Why would you pray for Hitler to survive? Won't Trump destroy American Democracy if he wins?

It's Trump's rhetoric and not the people comparing him to Hitler and saying he's a threat to democracy?

Those are your opinions and the opinions of other people. However, how many of those statements are absolutely undeniable 100% fact? The so-called fact checkers are all coming with their analysis from biased points of view.

No,those aren't opinions, they are facts which have proven. You don't have facts to back up what you claim and that is what conspiracy theories are. You write of how you feel about matters and cannot support them other than giving others who have the same thing without facts to back up their claims.

Please demonstrate to me that those "facts which have proven" are indeed 100% undeniable objective facts.

Like the "truth" about immigrants eating pets? Would Ronald Reagan ever say something so silly? Bush senior? Dubya?

Of course not. Donald Trump stands alone in this respect.

Why are liberals focusing so much upon one story? Has any conservative around here ever attempted to claim that Trump is perfect and never makes mistakes?
Do liberals want the conservatives to stop posting and discussing the lies and stupid stuff said by Kamala Harris and the Democratic Party?
