People are dragging Melania Trump online after she revealed how she would describe her husband, Donald Trump.

In her first televised interview in more than two years, the former First Lady appeared on Fox News Thursday morning.

During the interview, she delved into a range of topics, including the assassination attempt on her husband.

Melania recounted her reaction to the first attempt on July 13 during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, when a bullet grazed Donald Trump’s ear before Secret Service agents rushed to shield him.

She revealed that she learned about the incident through her chief of staff, who reassured her that her husband was unharmed.

"I ran to the TV and I [rewound] it and I watched it," she told Fox.

"When I saw it … nobody really knew yet," she said, describing the confusion in the aftermath. “When you see him on the floor and you don’t know, you don’t know what really happened.”


The second assassination attempt took place on September 15 while Donald Trump was golfing near his Mar-a-Lago estate in southern Florida.

A Secret Service agent spotted an armed suspect, later identified as Ryan Routh, and opened fire. Routh fled but was later apprehended on Interstate 95, per BBC News.

"I saw it on the television," Melania said of the second incident. "And as soon as I saw it on television I called again, and he was OK, because Secret Service were great."

Reflecting on both events, she described them as miraculous. "I think both of the events, they were really miracles," she said.

"If you really think about it, July 13th was a miracle. Like, that much and he could, you know, he could not be with us."

Elsewhere in the interview, Melania spoke about her husband's private life and how she views him.

She described him as "caring" and deeply committed to both his family and the country.

When asked what she wishes the public knew about the former president, Melania, 54, highlighted his dedication to family and the nation.

"That he’s really a family man, he loves his family, he loves this country, and all he wants to ... build better and prosperous," she said.

She continued by underscoring her husband's long-standing campaign message: “All he wants to do, as he says, is Make America Great Again. He wants to make this country prosperous and safe for everybody. He wants to make the American dream possible again.”

Despite it being quite a sweet comment, people have roasted Melania for what she said.

"When I read 'family man' I started choking..." one person wrote.

A second person said: "Such a family man. I guess that's why he had several..."

A third person added: "She’s lost in denial or he paid her well."

Another said: "That is why she has been absent from his side and refuses to hold his hands."

Some people did rush to her defense, however, as a supporter said: "Amazing and smart and loves her husband and family."
