He's too narcissistic for that.
Chances are he'll believe what his Jesus followers are saying and think that Jesus DID actually save him because he's the chosen one
That would require him to believe in Jesus.

if i got almost shot in the head i'd probably quit and do something else instead 🤔
Can confirm, you don't even need to be shot in the head. It can be in the thigh.
It's infuriating that people have forgotten about how utterly horrid trump was as president. From disbanding the NSC pandemic unit which led to a bungled COVID response, pretending COVID was no big deal (leading to hundreds of thousands of unnecessary deaths compared to other leading economies), crashing the economy leading to massive inflation by running it hot and gutting tax revenues (the Economist was warning about this in 2018), and of course leading an insurrection against the United States. HOW FUCKING STUPID ARE PEOPLE WHO VOTE FOR THIS TURD?!?!?!?
"But Covid isn't a big deal and inflation is Obiden's fault"
- my family, definitely
HOW FUCKING STUPID ARE PEOPLE WHO VOTE FOR THIS TURD?!?!?!?
America is the most propagandized country on earth.
Russia, North Korea and China would like a word with you.
KGB and CIA agents are sharing drinks at a bar.
CIA turns to KGB and says, "I've got to hand it to you. The Russians have some of the best propagandists in the business. I'm always amazed at what you can convince people to believe."
KGB smiles wryly and retorts, "Ah, but nobody is better at telling lies than the Americans. You've got your whole country fooled."
The CIA agent spits out his drink and turns to his Russian counterpart, "What are you talking about? There's no propaganda in America."
The KGB agent breaks out laughing.
I'm actually amazed Biden was too stupid to run ads reminding people of THIS!

These calls for unity are empty. He spouted hatred since day 1 of his election run. I'm not fooled he had a "come to Jesus moment"
He still hates and has surrounded himself with the worst people in America. He may have survived an assassination attempt, he still doesn't have my vote.
There is one correct response to trump getting shot.
Thoughts and Prayers.
He's been using violent divisive rhetoric since day 1. He's been degrading political discourse into even less productive name calling, baseless claims, and stochastic terrorism. Reap what you sow. I'm not upset that trump was shot. I'm upset that someone took a shot at him.
It's likely to have the opposite effect in this case.
Apparently, he was too busy playing golf to reach out to any of the other folks who got shot.
saw on r/conservatism, "Trump will undoubtedly pay for that person's funural." Ha, yeah fucking right!?
The greatest builder in the world still hasn't erected any structure for his wife's grave.
she knows what she signed up for
The funny thing is that back in the 1980s she was the star of the show and Donnie was the stooge who carried her bag. She was a world class skier and knew how to work a room.
She has a brief cameo in 'The First Wives' Club' where she tells the stars to get all they can out of their husbands.
The funny thing is that none of her children [Ivanka, Don Jr, and little Eric] could be bothered to do something. All have resources of their own.
He doesn't show anyone any empathy so no point in me doing so.
Thoughts and Prayers everyone, Thoughts and Prayers
It changes the ass to hole ratio though.
Getting shot by your own voter actually makes you even weaker than before
Historically, more often than not, when a narcissistic megalomaniac is victim of a close call of targeted violence against them, rather than them becoming more empathetic with the sadly large swathe of humanity that also often faces targeted violence, they just double down on their own paranoia.
Tbf people don’t usually go out of their way to shoot nice people.
So… all those kids in all those schools?
You’re going to make me debate what “usual” is for shootings in the US. That’s a grim one.

Hitler survived at least 42 assassination attempts according to Wikipedia. Just saying.
If you get shot in the asshole, then depending on the calibre you potentially could be more of an asshole.
He didn't get shot, he got hit by glass according to the secret service.
IDK. If you actually hit, he'll never do anything bad anymore for the rest of his life.

I won't shed any tears for Trump if and when he bites the dust, but it would've been far worse if the assassination was successful. It's not like the far right and Project 2025 would just disappear with Trump, not to mention guys like JD Vance are quite capable of taking his place and with less baggage.
Nah with how centralised the Republican effort is around Trump atm killing him would throw them into disarray for multiple years until they were able to summon up a similarly charismatic demagouge which outside of trump they simply don't have atm.
Part of me thinks the MAGA enthusiasm is a personality cult about Trump and can't be replicated. But you may be right about Republicans being capable of carrying his agenda post-Trump.
It does if the shooter could hit the broad side of a barn
~150 yards, wobbling target, small window of opportunity, and multiple well-trained counter-snipers lining you up, and you have to hit the head.
I'd say the guy made a hell of a shot.

Only if you manage to shoot his ass off him.
Then we'd undeniably have a less of an asshole trump.
Of course Morpheus says that as his shades reflect Neo being held at gunpoint.
