After the attack, Donald Trump tells Melania some very sad news.
Earlier this week, former President Donald Trump shocked everyone by saying that his wife, Melania Trump, has been deeply affected by the recent attempt on her life.
During an interview with Fox News host Laura Ingraham, Trump said that Melania had seen the attack happen live and is now finding it hard to talk about it.
Trump thanked Melania for being worried and said, “She was watching live.” It’s fine that she can’t even talk about it. That means she likes me.
“She cares about me.” He then talked about how Melania reacted right away after he was shot: “When I went down, she thought the worst had happened because I grabbed my ear and my hand was full of blood.”
This happened when Thomas Matthew Crooks, who is 20 years old, tried to kill Trump. But the Secret Service quickly caught Crooks and stopped the threat. Sadly, one person at the rally died and two others were hurt when shots were fired. Thankfully, the people who were hurt have been sent home from the hospital.
After the failed assassination attempt, people on both sides of the political spectrum have said bad things about the Secret Service. Some people are wondering why the agency didn’t tie down the roof of the building where Crooks launched his attack. There have also been worries that the Secret Service might lose track of where Crooks is, even though they have been warned before.
Trump said he was unhappy with how the Secret Service handled the situation, saying, “They should have talked to the local police, but they didn’t.” That’s not good, and they were seeing this guy—he was a very troubled person—a lot.
It is still Trump’s plan to hold rallies outside, even though the Secret Service has recommended otherwise. He understands what these events mean and how important they are. He even has plans for another rally, this time in Butler.
Because of the shooting, Ronald Rowe has been named acting Secret Service Director, taking over for Kimberly Cheatle, who quit after being questioned very deeply in a House hearing. The hearing was meant to talk about the specifics of the bad communication that led to the shooting. The FBI has also released new information about their investigation into the shooting. For example, they say that the gunman searched online for information about mass shootings, power plants, homemade bombs, and the attempt to kill the prime minister of Slovakia in May.
Clearly, the attempted assassination has had a huge effect on Melania Trump, who is unable to talk about it. Let’s send our thoughts and support to the Trump family during this hard time and hope that they can heal and come together again in the future.
