Was it divine intervention?
A striking image of a tangled US flag that appears to resemble an angel has the internet convinced that former President Donald Trump was protected by a higher power when a deranged shooter tried to assassinate him at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, Saturday.
Video shared online shows Old Glory twisted into a distinctive silhouette, sending attendees and social media commentators into a spin.
“The flag got tangled today at the Trump rally before Trump came on stage. Looks like an angel,” X user @TheWakeninq wrote on the social media site alongside a clip of the flag moving in the wind.

The spectacular video, which has been viewed more than 8 million times, quickly drew hundreds of comments from people convinced it was a sign.
“The Holy Spirit was definitely there protecting him yesterday,” one person responded.
“We are living in historic times! The fingerprints of the divine all over,” another echoed.
“I just got goosebumps,” a third user admitted.

Others, meanwhile, contended that the flag looked like a bald eagle — America’s national bird symbolizing strength and freedom.
“I saw an eagle first – GOD BLESS AMERICA,” an X user commented.
“Looks like a giant beautiful bald eagle also,” another said.
Trump was shot and suffered minor injuries following an assassination attempt at the rally.

The flag was untangled before Trump walked out onto the stage in Pennsylvania — where he was later shot and injured in an assassination attempt.
