Donald Trump described how Melania Trump heartbreakingly watched the attempt on his life on live television in a new interview
Trump miraculously survived the assassination attempt by 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks on July 13.
He was asked by Laura Ingraham how his wife Melania experienced the traumatic day from home.
‘She was watching,’ he said. ‘She was watching live. It was all over the place. It was on television.’
Trump added that his wife is unable to even speak to him about that horrible day, though he’s able to see it as a sign she truly cares for him.
‘She can’t even really talk about it. That’s okay, that means she likes me — she loves me. She could talk about it freely, I’m not so sure which is better. She either likes or loves me, that’s nice.’
Melania believed ‘the worst had happened’ when she witnessed the shooting live because of how he’d been taken down by the Secret Service.
Trump continued to have sympathy for the Secret Service agents that ultimately failed him.
‘I just want to say one thing about Secret Service… they were very brave. They were coming. Bullets were flying over me. I went down and they were — they were on top of me, I had a lot of very big, strong people on top of me.’
Trump reiterated that multiple times but totally understood where things went wrong that fateful day.
‘Should’ve been somebody on the roof, should’ve been communication with the local police and we’re seeing this guy, who was a very disturbed person… how about the Trump fans who were screaming about him?’
Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle resigned after the assassination attempt.
