President Donald Trump smiled as Pastor Jentezen Franklin told him, “God assigned an angel” to save Trump from an assassin’s bullet, part of a speech at a White House Easter event.

It has become a running theme among MAGA supporters that God saved Trump from being assassinated — a premise that Trump himself has embraced.

That mythology took on a vivid dimension this week when Trump hosted Evangelical leaders at the White House for an Easter prayer service and dinner.

Trump introduced Pastor Franklin, who then delivered brief remarks during which he thanked God for a life-saving personnel move:

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: So once again, let me wish you all a very joyful and blessed Easter.

And I would now like to ask Pastor Jentezen Franklin, a supporter right from day one, been right, he’s been here, I think, Paula, from the first moment that we started.

And who would have known that it was gonna turn out this way, but the support I’ve had from evangelicals, Christians, and everybody, people of faith, really, has been incredible. I believe it’s been unprecedented, actually, by a lot, not just by a little bit.

So Pastor Franklin, if you would, please come up. Thank you very much. Thank you for your support.

JENTEZEN FRANKLIN: Thank you Mr. President.

I was sitting there and I saw the card they gave me where I was sitting at table one from Eastern North Carolina originally.

God called me to preach out in a cornfield.

And to be here. Being honored to represent ministers across the nation who don’t get an opportunity like this, we want to say thank you.

This is so– you don’t have to do this, you’re too busy to do this. But we want, to say, thank you.

We see all that you do, all your family goes through.

And we’re so thankful God assigned an angel to stand between you and that bullet. God be with you.

Watch above via The White House.
