President Donald Trump Declares ‘I Was Saved by God to Make America Great Again’
By Movieguide® Staff
President Donald Trump thanked God for saving his life during his Inauguration Day speech.
“The journey to reclaim our republic has not been an easy one,” Trump said during the Inauguration ceremony which took place at the United States Capitol Rotunda on Monday. “Those who wish to stop our cause have tried to take my freedom, and indeed, to take my life.”
A 20-year-old assassin attempted to kill President Trump during a July 13, 2024, campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. The President was shot in the ear before the would-be assassin was killed by Secret Service counter-snipers.
“An assassin’s bullet ripped through my ear, but I felt then and believe even more so now that my life was saved for a reason. I was saved by God to make America great again,” Trump said.

Now, the 45th and 47th President is looking to the future, saying that as Americans, “We will not forget our country, we will not forget our Constitution and we will not forget our God.”
During his speech, he promised that “the golden age of America begins right now,” adding that “from this day forward, our country will flourish, and be respected again all over the world.”
The Christian Post reported that the Inauguration ceremony was held inside the Capitol due to cold temperatures, marking the first indoor swearing-in since Ronald Reagan in 1985.
Country artist Carrie Underwood performed “America the Beautiful,” and after a two-minute technical glitch, performed the song a cappella
“You know the words, help me out here,” Underwood told the crowd before singing.
Trump wants to bring more than just America’s golden age back. He wants to bring Hollywood’s back, too, and appointed actors Mel Gibson, Sylvester Stallone and Jon Voigt as special ambassadors to the industry.
“It is my honor to announce Jon Voight, Mel Gibson, and Sylvester Stallone, to be Special Ambassadors to a great but very troubled place, Hollywood, California,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform.
He continued, “They will serve as Special Envoys to me for the purpose of bringing Hollywood, which has lost much business over the last four years to Foreign Countries, BACK — BIGGER, BETTER, AND STRONGER THAN EVER BEFORE! These three very talented people will be my eyes and ears, and I will get done what they suggest. It will again be, like The United States of America itself, The Golden Age of Hollywood!”
