In breaking real news, Joy Behar, host of “The View,” recently voiced out criticism on former President Donald Trump’s assertion of divine intervention in his survival from a thwarted assassination attempt. The incident saw the bullet skim past Trump’s ear after he unwittingly moved his head at the last moment.
Behar, in her trusted news approach, argued that such a claim solely focuses on personal preservation or as many would term it, narcissistic. Particularly considering a hero firefighter, Corey Comperatore, tragically lost his life to the same incident from which Trump emerged unscathed.
Expanding on her views during a recent segment of “The View,” Behar questioned if Trump suggested that God was looking out for him while seeming to neglect others in the tragic incident – especially Comperatore. However, midway through her point, she briefly struggled with recalling Comperatore’s name which took some luster off her argument.
Further pressing her point and adopting her Christian worldview nurtured from being raised Catholic, Behar sought to balance the narrative by highlighting other casualties of tragedies like Sandy Hook. She said “God was watching me and not watching them? There’s something very disturbing about that.”
The debate later ventured into levity as Ana Navarro co-host hinted that perhaps the divine should have intervened further by jamming Trump’s microphone during his controversial speech. This elicited a fairly good-humored response from Behar: “Wait, God is a technician now?”
It’s no secret that Trump has steadily maintained his belief in divine protection having gone on record numerous times stating ‘God alone’ could have saved him from being fatally caught by one of history’s assassin bullets.
This conversation steers attention towards an intricate dialogue on faith, humanity and politics often heralded when events that alter societal norms occur. It begs reflection on Christian worldview amidst incidents of public tragedy and personal triumphs – where does one draw the line between coincidence, providence and narcissism?
