Melania Trump, who was standing beside her husband, Donald Trump, during the shooting that occurred at the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner on Saturday night (25), admitted that the incident was “traumatic” for her.
The revelation was made by the American president himself, who spoke to the press about an hour after the shooting. According to Trump, Melania “immediately knew” what was happening when she heard what she described as a “bad sound”.
“Melania was aware. It was quite a traumatic experience for her,” Trump said during the press conference. “The first lady was doing a great job. She loves the country. She understands it better than anyone. But she told me several times, she said: ‘You are in a dangerous job’.”
The shooting, which took place one day before Melania’s 56th birthday, marked the third possible attempt on Trump’s life. In July 2024, he was shot in the ear during a campaign rally, and in September of that same year, there was a second assassination attempt on him at his golf course in Florida.
