The Change Trump Made to His 2024 Speech That Could Bring God’s Blessing to America

The content discusses the differences in Donald Trump’s walk-on songs during his victory ⁤celebrations in 2016 and 2024. In 2016, he used music from the film “Air Force ​One,” but in 2024, following actor Harrison Ford’s endorsement of Kamala Harris, that choice was abandoned. Instead, Trump entered​ to Lee Greenwood’s “God Bless the USA,” a song that resonates with‍ themes of gratitude and faith. Greenwood has performed this song at various Trump events throughout the 2024 campaign, particularly after a recent‌ assassination attempt on ⁤Trump, providing​ a spiritual narrative that emphasizes ‍divine protection.

Trump’s victory speech reflected his gratitude towards⁣ God⁤ and a commitment to restoring America, marking a shift ‍in focus from personal glory to collective hopes and prayers for the nation’s future. Influential ‍Christian ⁢leaders, including Ben Carson, have noted that Trump seems changed after surviving the assassination attempt, paralleling Ronald Reagan’s transformation post-attempt on⁢ his life. Trump himself attributes his survival to divine intervention, asserting that it’s a sign for him to lead the country back to‌ greatness. the article highlights the blend of political campaigning and religious‌ themes shaping Trump’s messaging.


One notable difference between Donald Trump’s walk-on songs at his victory parties in 2016 and 2024 was where the focus was.

In 2016, the president-elect or his campaign staff chose music from the 1997 film “Air Force One,” starring Harrison Ford.

This time around, given that Ford had just endorsed Democrat Kamala Harris over the weekend, music from that film was wisely nixed.

Regardless, in 2016, the grandiose “Air Force One” score made for a big “Look at me” entrance into the mid-town Manhattan hotel ballroom.

But early Wednesday morning, when Trump came on stage at his victory party in West Palm Beach, Florida, it was to his rally walk-on song, Lee Greenwood’s “God Bless the USA.

If you listen to its lyrics, the song is a prayer and an expression of gratitude to God for his blessings.

Greenwood, 82, has sung “God Bless the U.S.A.” in person at multiple Trump events during the 2024 campaign cycle, including when Trump took the stage at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, just days after the July 13 attempt on his life in Butler, Pennsylvania.

“Prayer works. This nation is based on faith,” Greenwood said, asserting that God protected Trump from the would-be assassin’s bullet so he could be the next president of the United States.

The singer released a jazzed-up version of “God Bless the U.S.A.” Tuesday, along with a video featuring Trump.

In his victory speech Wednesday, Trump noted, “Many people have told me that God spared my life for a reason, and that reason was to save our country and to restore America to greatness. And now we are going to fulfill that mission together.”

“The task before us will not be easy, but I will bring every ounce of energy, spirit and fight that I have in my soul to the job that you’ve entrusted to me,” he added.

Like this year’s walk-on song, his election-night remarks reflected more of a focus on God and his fellow Americans, and less on himself.

Trump’s former cabinet secretary and friend Dr. Ben Carson recently told California Pastor Ché Ahn that the president-elect is a “different man” since surviving the assassination attempt.

The near-death experience seems to have affected Trump in a way similar to what Ronald Reagan experienced after an assassination attempt in 1981.

The day after he survived being shot, Reagan wrote in his diary, “Whatever happens now I owe my life to God and will try to serve him in every way I can.”

Both Ahn and Carson were among Christian leaders who prayed for Trump at a rally in Atlanta late last month.

When psychologist Dr. Phil McGraw asked Trump in late August why he thought he was spared, the 45th president answered, “I mean, the only thing I can think is that God loves our country,” Trump responded. “And He thinks we’re going to bring our country back.”

Well, Godspeed, Mr. President, in the noble endeavor to “Make America Great Again.” We’re with you!
