Donald Trump’s press conference on Thursday was a haphazard mix of topics. Despite his campaign’s attempt to rein Trump in with a modest mini-rally and focus him on attacking Vice President Kamala Harris’ policies, Trump delivered an hour-long, mostly unprepared tirade. Ultimately, it was his favorite topics, including Harris’s alleged “stupidity,” the war in Afghanistan, COVID-19 and immigrant crime, with little mention of inflation — or the groceries, symbolically placed inches away from him — for which the entire event was organized.
Trump’s new format also attracted a diverse group of attendees. While news conferences usually attract only the media, Trump’s arrangement on Thursday attracted several curious attendees, including reporters who only asked soft questions of the Republican presidential candidate and another group of people whom Trump called “fans” who delighted in some of the darker moments in his rambling speech.
In response to a reporter’s question about why “God saved your life in the assassination,” Trump said “God had something to do with it.” But his answer to why God saved him was a little strange.
“Maybe we want to save the world,” Trump said. continued“The world is going down. The world is going down.”
For whatever reason, this caused a roar from the nearby crowd.
TRUMP: God is involved. Maybe because we want to save the world. The world is going down. The world is going down.

“But I believe this. I believe this. My sons are very good shooters,” Trump further said, claiming that his sons Eric and Donald Jr. are both excellent shooters, saying that the 130-yard distance between Trump and his would-be shooter was like “a foot putt,” and telling their father that “bad shooters hit their targets almost 100 percent of the time.”
