President Donald Trump recently shared an unexpected anecdote during a speech, revealing that former presidential candidate Ben Carson once told him he would win the 2016 election because “God wanted him to win.” The revelation came as Trump reflected on his campaign struggles, noting that Carson remained in the race for weeks despite this seemingly definitive assertion.
Trump described the encounter, stating Carson approached him after the first debate and delivered the remark before eventually withdrawing from the contest. He acknowledged Carson’s tenacity but emphasized the competitive nature of the primary field, which included 18 candidates.
In addition to the story, Trump announced his donation of the Trump Family Bible to the Museum of the Bible in Washington, D.C., highlighting his commitment to addressing “anti-Christian bias and persecution.” The gesture coincided with broader discussions about the historical significance of the artifact, including its role in Trump’s 2017 inauguration.
The article also referenced a video titled The Revival Bible, which explores the spiritual narrative surrounding Trump’s family legacy. While no further details were provided, the piece concluded with calls for renewed faith and moral leadership.
