That's why he's still alive." :: Donald Trump's evangelical supporters see his escape from death as a sign of God's work :: Milwaukee, Wisconsin :: July 17, 2024 :: Kevin Jang “But of course, we don't believe Trump to be Christ. We don't believe he's the God. But we do believe that God is using him to do good works in America and the world. And that's why we believe that this is really the work of God.” :: Mike Lindell, CEO of My Pillow "A hundred percent he was (protected by God). A hundred percent. And it's not just Republicans, everybody thinks that. Everybody knows that. Donald Trump said that. He said God protected him and, you know, it was a miracle." Trump and his campaign have infused his candidacy with Christian imagery, prompting critics to accuse them of fostering a cult of personality with him as its leader, solely capable of saving an America he falsely portrays as crime-ridden and on the verge of collapse. At the Republican Party's national convention in Milwaukee on Wednesday (July 17), many believed God had a hand in Trump's escape from assassination. A Reuters/IPSOS poll found that 65% of Republican voters said Trump surviving an assassination attempt reflected divine intervention or God's will. Mike Lindell, the CEO of My Pillow and a friend of Trump's who was attending the convention, said he was certain Trump was protected by God.

- 1:27Trump's Taiwan warning rocks TSMC, but profits soarReuters VideosSTORY: The Trump effect is rocking Asian chip stocks, including Taiwan chip giant TSMC. On Thursday the world’s biggest contract chipmaker reported a 36% jump in second-quarter profit. That beat market forecasts, and was driven by a surge in demand for AI products. And yet shares in the firm - Asia’s most valuable listed company - closed down by 2.4%. Markets were focused on earlier comments by Donald Trump, who said Taiwan had taken “100%” of America’s chip business. He said the island should pay the U.S. for its defense in return, adding geopolitical alarm to the tech tensions. Taiwan’s foreign ministry felt compelled to respond on Thursday, with a spokesman saying it was committed to boosting defense spending and working with Washington. But Trump’s comments added to existing tensions over U.S.-China relations. Reports in recent days have said the Biden administration could step up curbs on chip exports, prompting a big sell-off for tech stocks. Thursday saw South Korea’s SK Hynix lose around 4%, while Japan’s Tokyo Electron was off more than 8%. That followed a big drop on Wall Street, where tech stocks saw $500 billion wiped off their market value.12 hours ago

And he did that in his last moments.

And I call it the three F’s. Because, just like me, it’s family first. Then it was his faith. Then it was his freedom with his country, that he loved.” Residents gathered to remember the father of two, reflecting quietly during a moment of silence at Lernerville Speedway, a few miles from Comperatore’s family home.

- 0:48After Trump comments, Taiwan officials respondReuters VideosSTORY: :: July 18, 2024 :: Taipei, Taiwan :: Taiwan's foreign ministry comments after Trump says island should pay the U.S. for defense :: Kuoyu Chiao, Deputy Head, North America Department, Taiwan's Foreign Ministry :: "In the past, both Democratic and Republican governments have fulfilled their security commitments to Taiwan in accordance with the "Taiwan Relations Act" and the "Six Guarantees", and Taiwan has continually strengthened its self-defense capability through arms purchases from the United States." "We have seen that in recent years the United States has continued to gather like-minded countries to shape peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait into not only a Taiwan-U.S. consensus, but also a regional consensus, and an international consensus. In the future, Taiwan will continue to work with the United States and like-minded countries to strengthen Taiwan's defense capability and jointly maintain peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait." The United States is Chinese-claimed Taiwan's most important international backer and arms supplier, despite the lack of formal diplomatic ties, and Washington is bound by law to provide the means for the island's defense. Taiwan's government has made defense modernization a priority, including developing its own submarines, and has said many times the island's security rests in its own hands. The budgeted defense spending for this year amounts to 2.5% of its gross domestic product, a historic high. Beijing has never renounced the use of force to bring Taiwan under its control. Taiwan President Lai Ching-te, who says only the Taiwanese people can decide their future, has repeatedly offered talks but had been rebuffed.13 hours ago
- 1:37JD Vance accepts nomination as Trump's running mateReuters VideosSTORY: :: JD Vance accepts VP nomination, praises Trump and attacks Biden :: Milwaukee, Wisconsin :: July 17, 2024 :: JD Vance, Republican Vice Presidential Candidate "I'm overwhelmed with gratitude to say I officially accept your nomination to be Vice President of the United States of America." "I want all Americans to to go and watch the video of a would be assassin coming 1/4 of an inch from taking his life. Consider the lies they told you about Donald Trump, and then look at that photo of him defiant fist in the air when Donald Trump rose to his feet in that Pennsylvania field, all of America stood with him." "They said he was a tyrant. They said he must be stopped at all costs. But how did he respond? He called for national unity, for national calm, literally right after an assassin nearly took his life." "Now Joe Biden has been a politician in Washington for longer than I've been alive. 39 years old. Kamala Harris is not much further behind. For half a century, he's been the champion of every major policy initiative to make America weaker and poorer. And in four short years, Donald Trump reversed decades of betrayals inflicted by Joe Biden and the rest of the corrupt Washington insiders." "Our movement is about single moms like mine, who struggled with money and addiction but never gave up. And I'm proud to say that tonight my mom is here 10 years, clean and sober. Love you, Mom." In chronicling his hard scrabble journey from a difficult childhood to the U.S. Marines, Yale Law School, venture capitalism and the U.S. Senate, Vance, 39, introduced himself to Americans while using his story to argue he understands their everyday struggles. He accused "career politicians" like President Joe Biden - who Vance noted has been in politics longer than he has been alive - of destroying communities like his with ill-fated trade policies and foreign wars. In a sign of his potential value to the ticket, Vance also appealed to the working and middle classes in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin specifically - three Rust Belt swing states likely to decide the Nov. 5 election. In his speech Vance described his grandmother, "Mamaw," who raised him while his mother struggled with addiction, and acknowledged his mother Beverly, who was on hand to watch him speak. "I am proud to say that tonight my mom is here, 10 years clean and sober," Vance said. "I love you, Mom." A visibly moved Beverly Vance mouthed, "I love you, J.D.," while delegates gave her a standing ovation.14 hours ago
