In a heartfelt revelation during a recent interview, Donald Trump shared an emotional glimpse into a shocking moment that his wife, Melania, had to endure. She witnessed an attempt on his life unfold live on television.

The incident occurred on July 13 when a young man, Thomas Matthew Crooks, just 20 years old, made an attempt to assassinate Trump. Thankfully, the former president survived this harrowing event.

Laura Ingraham, during an interview with Trump, inquired about Melania’s reaction to that traumatic day.

Trump recalled, “She was watching. She was watching live. It was everywhere, on every channel.”

Despite seeing it as a testament to his wife’s love and concern, Trump mentioned that Melania still finds it challenging to discuss that dreadful experience.

“She doesn’t really want to talk about it. It’s hard for her. But, you know, it means a lot. She cares, she’s really caring,” he added.

During the chaos, when Melania saw the action unfolding live, she feared the worst, thinking something terrible had happened to Trump because of the chaos around him.

Trump mentioned his concern for the Secret Service agents involved in those moments.

“I just want to highlight the bravery of the Secret Service. They acted quickly. Bullets were all over, yet they managed to protect me,” he shared.

Although Trump appreciated their efforts, he admitted there were critical lessons from that day.

Considering the loyal Trump supporters present, he mentioned, “There should’ve been alert individuals on the lookout, coordinating efforts with local law enforcement to keep an eye on this troubled individual.”

After the failed attempt, Kimberly Cheatle, who was then the director of the Secret Service, resigned.

Trump expressed gratitude towards the counter-sniper who ultimately stopped Crooks.

He also shared his plans to provide a “victim statement” to the FBI soon.

In private discussions, those in charge of Trump’s safety were aware that, contrary to the FBI’s initial claims of a quicker response, gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks stayed at the scene for over 90 minutes before acting.

Before ending his shift around 4:26 pm, one alert countersniper noticed Crooks on a nearby picnic table. This was the breakthrough in the developing situation.

It emerged that on that Saturday, Crooks’ father contacted authorities because his son hadn’t returned as expected.

Furthermore, it was later revealed that Crooks had even attended Trump’s rally three hours prior to the shooting spree, carrying items that should have raised alarms, like a rangefinder, commonly used for precision targeting.

Despite the unsettling presence, Crooks wasn’t approached or stopped before tragedy struck.

Crooks then ascended a rooftop, targeting both Trump and former volunteer fire chief Corey Comperatore.

Remarkably, Crooks had messaged a chilling sign-off to his employer, insinuating that he wouldn’t return until Sunday.

In another alarming discovery shared by FBI Director Christopher Wray, before the attack, Crooks had searched online about similar historical events, notably the distance from which Lee Harvey Oswald shot JFK.

A mere two hours before his attack in Pennsylvania, Crooks flew a surveillance drone near the stage and had three explosives in his possession, according to the FBI’s disclosure to Congress.

During Trump’s Pennsylvania rally, which turned into a near-tragedy, the Secret Service efficiently ushered him away to safety.

The counter-sniper who effectively neutralized Crooks acted independently, the FBI confirmed.

Following these unsettling events, Kimberly Cheatle stepped down amid heightened scrutiny.

During a tense hearing with Congress, Cheatle accepted criticism for the lapses that occurred.

She shockingly admitted that before Trump’s arrival, her team had received numerous warnings about suspicious activity.

Questions arose around why essential security measures, like positioning an agent on the rooftop, were overlooked, prompting severe criticism of Cheatle’s leadership.
