Who Is This 'God' Character Anyway? Politico Seems Baffled That Conservatives Are People Of Faith

Posted • July 16, 2024: Of all the reactions in the aftermath of the assassination attempt on Donald Trump on July 13, perhaps the least surprising is the fact that Trump supporters and many other people have spent a lot of time thanking God. This demonstration of faith was on full display last night as the Republican National Convention kicked off. We didn't count every speaker (that would be weird), but we know that most of the speakers last night included some version of the thought that Trump's survival was a miracle. Or that God was watching over him. So did many conservative pundits who appeared on television yesterday, as well as all of the members of Trump's family (obviously). Seems pretty normal, right?

Hilariously however, this reaction was extremely confusing to Politico, where five -- count 'em, FIVE -- writers contributed to a report marveling at these displays of faith like they were looking at a two-headed goat.
