When asked \u2064if he\u2063 believes this\u200d was purposeful, Trump stated that &#8220;God loves our country&#8221; and implied \u200bthat he has\u200b a significant role to play in \u200crestoring the nation to a\u200b better state. \u200dHe emphasized his belief in God and the idea that his survival was meant to signify\u200c that\u200d he has more\u2064 to accomplish for the country.
