In a recent interview with Fox News host Laura Ingraham, former President Donald Trump shared a shocking revelation about his wife, Melania Trump. He disclosed that she has been deeply affected by the recent assassination attempt on his life. Melania had witnessed the attack unfold live and is now finding it difficult to discuss the traumatic event.

During the interview, Trump expressed his gratitude for Melania’s concern, highlighting the strength of their bond. He stated, “She was watching live. She can’t really even talk about it, which is OK. That means she likes me. She loves me.” Trump went on to describe Melania’s immediate reaction when he was shot, saying, “When I went down, she thought the worst had happened because I went down and grabbed my ear and my hand was loaded up with blood.”

The incident occurred when 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks attempted to assassinate Trump. However, the Secret Service quickly engaged Crooks and neutralized the threat. Tragically, a rally attendee lost their life, and two others were injured in the shooting. Fortunately, the injured individuals have since been discharged from the hospital.

The Secret Service has faced criticism from both sides of the political spectrum in the aftermath of the assassination attempt. Concerns have been raised about the agency’s failure to secure the roof of the building from which Crooks launched his attack. There are also questions regarding the Secret Service’s ability to track Crooks despite prior warnings.

Trump expressed disappointment with the Secret Service’s handling of the situation, emphasizing the need for better communication with local police. He stated, “There should have been communication with the local police, which there wasn’t. So that’s a bad thing, and they were seeing this guy – it was a very disturbed person, and they were seeing him around.”

Despite the recommendations of the Secret Service, Trump remains determined to continue holding rallies in outdoor venues. He believes in the symbolism and importance of these events and plans to hold another rally, this time in Butler.

In response to the shooting incident, Ronald Rowe has taken on the role of acting Secret Service Director, following Kimberly Cheatle’s resignation after intense questioning during a House hearing. The hearing aimed to address the specific communication failures that led to the shooting. The FBI has also provided new details about their investigation into the incident, revealing the gunman’s disturbing online searches related to mass shootings, power plants, improvised explosive devices, and the May assassination attempt on the Slovakian prime minister.

The attempted assassination has undoubtedly had a profound impact on Melania Trump, leaving her unable to discuss the incident. As we extend our thoughts and support to the Trump family during this challenging time, let us hope for healing and unity moving forward.
