Former President Donald Trump released a new statement on Sunday morning thanking Americans for their prayers, coming hours after he survived what officials described as an assassination attempt at a Pennsylvania rally.
As the former president thanked people for their “thoughts and prayers,” he added that it was “God alone who prevented the unthinkable from happening.”
