According to White, Trump told him: 'I can't quit. You don't ever quit. You never quit.'. 'But the thing is, with President Trump is he believes in God, and he's very religious…He believes that, to his core, that God has spared his life to be the President and do the things that he's going to do over the next four years.'. The July 13 shooting in Bethel Park, Pennsylvania claimed the life of one Trump supporter, Corey Comperatore. The shooter, 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, was killed by US Secret Service on the scene.
Trump's ear was scratched during the shooting, resulting in some bleeding, but the 78-year-old continued on the campaign trail despite his injuries - and the warnings from White. White says Trump believes he was saved by God from the assassin on July 13.
