Former US President Donald Trump narrowly escaped an assassination attempt during a rally in Pennsylvania, sustaining a minor injury to his ear. The assailant, Thomas Crooks, was killed by Secret Service agents, but the incident has drawn scrutiny over the agency's security protocols. Trump's daughter Ivanka and the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) both attributed his survival to divine intervention, with Ivanka believing her late mother, Ivana, was watching over him. ISKCON spokesperson Radharamn Das linked the incident to Trump's past assistance with their Rathayatra festival, suggesting divine reciprocation. Investigations are ongoing to determine Crooks' motives, with the FBI considering it an act of domestic terrorism.
