Sunday, July 14, 2024 - Ex-first lady of the United States of America, Melania Trump, in her first public response since her husband, ex-President Donald Trump, was injured in a shooting at one of his rallies on Saturday, has called for unity despite the assassination attempt on her husband.
In a statement obtained from her X account
on Sunday, she said, “Dawn is here again. Let us reunite. Now.
“This morning, ascend above the hate, the
vitriol, and the simple-minded ideas that ignite violence. We all want a world
where respect is paramount, family is first, and love transcends. We can
realize this world again. Each of us must demand to get it back. We must insist
that respect fills the cornerstone of our relationships, again.
“I am thinking of you, my fellow Americans.
“I am thinking of you, now, my fellow
Americans.
“We have always been a unique union.
America, the fabric of our gentle nation is tattered, but our courage and
common sense must ascend and bring us back together as one,” she said
She sympathised with the families of those
who suffered from the incident as she encouraged them to summon strength.
“When I watched that violent bullet strike
my husband, Donald, I realized my life, and Barron’s life, were on the brink of
devastating change. I am grateful to the brave secret service agents and law
enforcement officials who risked their own lives to protect my husband.
“To the families of the innocent victims who
are now suffering from this heinous act, I humbly offer my sincerest sympathy.
Your need to summon your inner strength for such a terrible reason saddens me.
“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.
Donald, the generous and caring man who I have been with through the best of
times and the worst of times.
“Let us not forget that differing opinions,
policy, and political games are inferior to love. Our personal, structural, and
life commitment – until death – is at serious risk. Political concepts are
simple when compared to us, human beings.
“We are all humans, and fundamentally,
instinctively, we want to help one another. American politics are only one
vehicle that can uplift our communities. Love, compassion, kindness and empathy
are necessities.
“And let us remember that when the time
comes to look beyond the left and the right, beyond the red and the blue, we
all come from families with the passion to fight for a better life together,
while we are here, in this earthly realm.” she urged.
She said thanked Americans for their support
as she urged them to reach out beyond the political divide and fight for a
better life together.

“The winds of change have arrived. For those
of you who cry in support, I thank you. I commend those of you who have reached
out beyond the political divide – thank you for remembering that every single
politician is a man or a woman with a loving family.” she added.
