On Sunday, former First Lady Melania Trump condemned the recent assassination attempt on her husband, Donald Trump, during a campaign rally in Pennsylvania, calling the gunman a “monster.”
In a heartfelt statement posted on her platform, Melania expressed shock and dismay over the violent incident that left Donald injured. “The monster who targeted my husband attempted to silence Donald’s passion — his laughter, creativity, love for music, and ability to inspire,” she remarked.
Reflecting on the moment she witnessed the shooting, Melania acknowledged the profound impact it had on their lives, including their son Barron’s. She expressed gratitude to the courageous Secret Service agents and law enforcement who risked their lives to protect Donald.
Donald Trump recounted being struck in the ear during the attack, which occurred in Butler, Pennsylvania, resulting in the deaths of the shooter and a bystander, with two spectators critically injured.
Melania extended her deepest condolences to the victims’ families, emphasizing the strength they would need to endure such tragic loss. “Your need to summon inner strength in such difficult times deeply saddens me,” she added.
Throughout Donald’s White House campaigns and legal battles in recent months, Melania, 54, has maintained a low profile, rarely appearing at rallies or public events. Her absence during Donald’s legal proceedings and his renewed 2024 election efforts has been notable.
