During a recent television interview, former President Donald Trump opened up about his wife Melania's reaction to the assassination attempt he faced during a campaign rally. Trump shared that Melania was actually watching the event live on television and was understandably shaken by the incident.
"She was watching live. It was all over the place, it was on television," Trump told Fox News host Laura Ingraham. He went on to explain that Melania was not physically present when a bullet grazed his ear, as he was already on the ground and surrounded by Secret Service agents.
Trump also revealed that Melania has been hesitant to talk about the incident, which he believes is a sign of her love for him. "She can't really even talk about it," he said. "Which is OK because that means she likes me, or she loves me."
When asked if it would be a good or bad thing if Melania was able to speak openly about the assassination attempt, Trump jokingly responded, "I'm not sure, but she either likes or loves me and that's nice." He then reassured viewers that Melania was deeply concerned for his well-being when he fell to the ground.
Despite the security concerns raised by the Secret Service, Trump remains determined to continue holding outdoor rallies and has even scheduled another one in Butler, Pennsylvania. He explained that it is important to him symbolically and that he refuses to let the actions of one individual stop him from connecting with his supporters.
The interview aired the night before Secret Service Acting Director Ronald Rowe and FBI Deputy Director Paul Abbate testified before a Senate panel about their investigation into the assassination attempt. Trump's full interview on Ingraham Angle was set to air on Fox News the following evening.
Since the incident, Melania has largely stayed out of the public eye, even with the upcoming 2024 presidential election. However, she did make a rare appearance and show of affection towards her husband at his Republican National Convention acceptance speech.
