In a rare television interview, Melania Trump describes her husband’s survival in two assassination attempts as a “miracle”

Melania Trump said on Wednesday she considered it a miracle that her husband survived the two assassination attempts on him and admitted she was furious after the FBI searched her Florida home.

In her first television interview in more than two years, the former first lady told “Fox & Friends” co-host Ainsley Earhardt that she had a hard time comprehending what happened when she saw her husband, former President Donald Trump, lying “on the ground” at the July 13 rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, after being grazed by a would-be assassin’s bullet.

“I ran to the TV, rewound it and watched it,” Melania said of her immediate reactions after her chief of staff told her that her husband was fine but that there had been a shooting at the rally.

“When I saw it … nobody really knew (what had happened),” she continued. “When you see him on the ground and you don’t know, you don’t know what really happened.”

Melania, 54, said she was in New York City on September 15 when her husband was again targeted by a sniper while playing golf near their Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida.

“I saw it on TV,” the former supermodel said of how she learned of the second assassination attempt. “And as soon as I saw it on TV, I called again, and he was OK because the Secret Service was great.”

“The guys (from the former president’s golf group) were fantastic.”

“And I think both events were truly miracles,” Melania said.

“When you really think about it, July 13 was a miracle. Such a miracle, and he couldn’t, you know, he couldn’t be with us,” she added, her fingers tracking how close the Butler shooter’s bullet came to her husband’s head.

She also explained who was responsible for the two attempts on her husband’s life.

“We hear the leaders of the opposition party and the mainstream media branding him a threat to democracy and calling him vile names. (They) are just stoking a toxic atmosphere and all these people they wanted to harm – this has to stop.”

When asked about her reaction to the FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago in August 2022, which was carried out as part of the government’s investigation into her husband’s withholding of classified White House documents, Melania said the ordeal left her “angry.”

“Yes, it made me angry,” she said, calling it an “invasion of privacy.”

“The way it was done really surprised me.”

During the raid, FBI agents searched Melania’s closet, searched her husband’s office and reportedly even searched one of her son Barron’s rooms.

“I saw unpleasant things that nobody wants to see,” Melania said of her experience returning to her ransacked apartment. “And you get angry because, you know, nobody should have to endure that.”

“Some person – I don’t even know who or how many people – you know, they went through my things.”

Earhardt’s full interview with Melania will air Thursday morning on “Fox & Friends.”
