His opponents include Democrats, the deep state, RINO Republicans—and now, “evil forces.”

Donald Trump’s Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has painted his administration as engaged in a “spiritual battle,” and suggested that he was “saved by the grace of God” to become president.

The language reflects Trump’s successful appeal to evangelical Christians.

She told the Christian Broadcasting Network, “I think there were certainly evil forces, and I think that the president was saved by the grace of God on July 13 in Butler, Pennsylvania, and he’s in this moment for a reason,” she said about the assassination attempt that killed crowd member Corey Comperatore and wounded two others. The bullet grazed Trump’s ear.

Trump, who was raised Presbyterian but in 2020 switched to be non-denominational Christian, said that the near-death experience made him “more of a believer.”

“It changed something in me,” he said at a national prayer breakfast on Feb. 6. “I feel even stronger. I believed in God but I feel much more strongly about it.”

At the time Trump also said that God has a “glorious mission” for America and that the country needs to “make religion a much more important factor now.”

Some Democrats have expressed concern about Trump’s newfound spirituality. Although the president has historically surrounded himself with deeply religious figures, it isn’t until his most recent term that he’s been so vocal about Christianity that he committed to “eradicate anti-Christian bias” through a task force led by Attorney General Pam Bondi. The new group will “move heaven and earth to defend the rights of Christians and religious believers nationwide,” Trump said.
