Donald Trump joked that his wife Melania would not cry if he was shot in a speech about an actual shooting.
During a fundraiser for Republicans running for the House of Representatives, the US President delivered a joke laden speech.
In a section about Rep. Steve Scalise – who was seriously injured in a shooting while at a congressional baseball practice – the former Apprentice star riffed on the topic of marital strife.
Trump said Jennifer Scalise, Steve’s wife, “cried her eyes out when I met her at the hospital that fateful day,” setting himself up for the punchline.
“I mean, not many wives would react that way to tragedy, I know mine wouldn’t,” he said, Politico reported.
As well as drawing attention to the President’s ‘sense of humour’, the remarks have again put the spotlight on his relationship with Melania.
