After President Trump’s brush with death, he eventually acknowledged Hashem’s role in saving him. He was an amazing president, for instance he made peace in the world and now there are dozens of wars. But Chazal often warn that even a talmid chochom who comes to a leadership position, if it “goes to his head” then Hashem will demote him.

Trump is famous for constantly bragging how great he is. Finally his yissurim (trouble) has brought him to acknowledge the One who is gozer (decrees) who will live and who will die.

Wishing the former President a speedy recovery and a humbling reelection.
