What if Corey took the bullet that would have otherwise hit Trump?
While I do believe that this very well could have been a miracle by God, it does bring up the other questions of “Well where was God for Corey?”
Again, IMHO, Trump's new deformity was necessary to convince more people of the truth that evil exists among us. The fireman's death was necessary to convince more people of that reality. Alas, there's still hordes of people who will never accept such notions; they'll invent whatever thoughts it takes to disbelieve what happened.
