It took a while to arrive, but it finally spoke out. Former US First Lady Melania Trump spoke out on Sunday following the assassination of her husband, Donald Trumpcalling the attacker a “monster” and denouncing the fact that he saw the former US president as an “inhuman political machine” and not as the generous and loving person that, according to her, he is. She also reminded that politics is inferior to love. Her message of peace caught the attention of the American public, who now consider her request: to look “beyond left and right.”
The American public and press are analyzing the former first lady’s words. “Born in 1970 in then communist Slovenia, Melania has a harsh view of the nature of the dehumanizing ‘political machinery’ she writes about”they point out from the New York PostThey explain that this is to “deny the obvious”, which is “the violence” that is ravaging their country, which they ask to mobilize in favor of peace and respect.
According to the former first lady, “personal, structural and vital commitment – until death – is in serious danger.” “Political concepts are simple when compared to us, human beings. We are all human, and fundamentally, instinctively, we want to help each other,” she said. And she added: “When the time comes to look beyond left and right, beyond red and blue, we will all be there.” We come from families with a passion to fight together for a better life, while we are here, in this earthly kingdom.”.
“Now I think of you, my compatriots. We have always been a union. America, the fabric of our gentle nation is in tatters, but our courage and common sense must rise up and unite us as one,” he said.
Melania’s reaction: late, but close to her husband
One day after the attack on her husband, Melania issued a statement. “A monster who recognized my husband as an inhuman political machine “He tried to kill Donald’s passion: his laughter, wit, love of music and inspiration,” she continued, very frightened by the event: “When I saw that violent bullet hit my husband, Donald, I realized that my life, and Barron’s, were on the verge of a devastating change.”.
Melania thanked the Secret Service agents and “law enforcement officers who risked their own lives” to protect the Republican leader. “To the families of the innocent victims who are now suffering from this heinous act, I humbly offer my sincerest condolences. Their need to summon their inner strength for such a terrible cause saddens me,” he said.
This reaction came after words that Ivanka, who is very close to her father, shared publicly. “Thank you for your love and prayers for my father and for the victims of today’s attack in Butler, Pennsylvania. I want to thank the Secret Service and all law enforcement for their swift and decisive action today. Praying for our country. I love you dad, today and always”wrote.
This past Saturday, during a campaign rally in Pennsylvania, Trump survived an assassination attempt at the hands of a 20-year-old man who was shot dead by security forces. The politician suffered a minor injury to his right ear and is now recovering with his family at his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey.
