Melania Trump has just addressed the violent shooting that almost took her husband’s life Saturday.
She explains how her and Barron’s life could have been on the brink of devastating change, while also thanking law enforcement officials who risked their own lives to protect Donald Trump. Melania goes on to express her sympathy for the families of the innocent victims.
Melania says, “A monster who recognized my husband as an inhuman political machine attempted to ring out Donald’s passion – his laughter, ingenuity, love of music, and inspiration. The core facets of my husband’s life – his human side – were buried below the political machine.”
She also reminds us not to forget that differing opinions, policy, and political games are inferior to love.
