Former US President Donald Trump believes it is a gift from God that he escaped death during an assassination attempt in the state of Pennsylvania. This was reported by The Washington Post newspaper with reference to a source.

According to the interlocutor of the publication, who communicated with the Republican in the last 12 hours, Trump, contrary to usual, is in an exalted state of mind. "He thinks he's gotten a gift from God. He can't believe it," the publication quoted him as saying.

The source also said that the former American leader is waiting for the unity of his associates at the Republican Party convention in Milwaukee (Wisconsin), which begins on July 15.
