For Donald J. Trump’s most devoted supporters, the bullet that nicked his ear and came within inches of ending his life was only further proof that a higher power is looking out for him.
“I don’t see this as luck,” said the Rev.
Nathaniel Thomas, a Republican National Convention delegate and a pastor from the Washington, D.C., area.
“I see this as God’s protection.”After he spent decades pursuing riches, fame and power, Mr. Trump’s life has been far from pious.
Yet he has drawn a committed core of followers — many in Milwaukee this week for his nominating convention — who view him as handpicked by God for a second term in the White House.
