Former U.S. President Donald Trump recently disclosed his wife Melania Trump's response following the harrowing shooting incident at his rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. The attack, which occurred during a campaign event, involved Trump being struck in the ear by a bullet, leaving visible blood on his face. The shooter, identified as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, was killed, along with a bystander, while two other individuals were critically injured.
In an interview with Fox News host Laura Ingraham, Trump revealed Melania's immediate reaction to the event. Ingraham asked about Melania’s feelings upon learning about the shooting. Trump shared that Melania was watching the incident unfold live on television.
"She was watching live. It was broadcast everywhere," Trump explained. He described Melania's emotional response, noting that she struggled to articulate her feelings. "When I asked her about it, she found it hard to even speak," Trump said.
Reflecting on her reaction, Trump remarked, "Which is fine, because it means she cares deeply or loves me. If she could have spoken about it freely, I’m not sure which would have been better, but it’s clear she either really cares or loves me, which is comforting."
Earlier, Melania Trump had condemned the attacker as a "monster". In her statement, she criticized the shooter, suggesting he viewed her husband as a “political machine” and sought to erase his passion and inspiration.
"Watching that violent bullet hit my husband made me realize how our lives, and Barron's life, were on the edge of a major change," she said, referring to their 18-year-old son, Barron.
Melania also expressed her gratitude to the brave Secret Service agents and law enforcement officers who risked their lives to protect her husband. "I am thankful to the courageous Secret Service agents and law enforcement officers who put their lives on the line to ensure my husband's safety," she added.
Trump’s candid comments and Melania’s heartfelt response underscore the profound emotional impact of the shooting on the Trump family.
