After years, the Melania Trump “broke” her silence after the assassination attempt against her husband, Donald Trumpat a campaign rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday.

The former US first lady described the attacker as a “monster” and described the moment she watched the bullet hit her husband’s ear. “A monster who treated my husband as an inhuman political machine attempted to rip out Donald’s soul — his smile, his authenticity, his love of music and his inspiration,” Melania noted in a post on X.

“When I saw that violent bullet strike my husband, I found that my life and Barron’s were about to take a shocking turn. I feel grateful to the Secret Service men who risked their lives to protect him,” he said, adding:

“The change crew has arrived. To all of you who shed tears in our support, thank you. I also commend all those who see across political divides. Thank you for remembering that every politician is a man or a woman with a family behind him.”
