The media has been trying to convince us that something is wrong between Melania and Donald Trump. But now the truth is out.
And Melania Trump has spoken out and the people are horrified.
In a deeply unsettling revelation, former First Lady Melania Trump has raised serious questions about the assassination attempt on her husband, former President Donald Trump, during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania on July 13.
In a video posted to X (formerly Twitter), Melania Trump spoke about the harrowing incident, expressing her frustration with the lack of transparency and calling for answers.
“The attempt to end my husband’s life was a horrible, distressing experience,” Melania said in the video, which also promoted her upcoming book. “Now, the silence around it feels heavy. I can’t help but wonder, why didn’t law enforcement officials arrest the shooter before the speech? There is definitely more to the story, and we need to uncover the truth.”

Melania’s words reflect the growing sentiment among many Americans that the media and government officials are not being forthcoming about what transpired that day. How could such an attempt on the life of a former president occur with so many apparent security failures? Who is responsible, and why haven’t more questions been answered?
The details of the assassination attempt are chilling. On July 13, 2023, during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks opened fire from the rooftop of a nearby building. Crooks had a direct line of sight on Trump, and in a horrifying moment, a bullet grazed the former president’s right ear. Trump was moments away from suffering a potentially fatal injury.
While President Trump survived, the attack was not without tragedy. Corey Comperatore, a former Pennsylvania fire chief, was shot and killed after Crooks began firing. In an act of selfless bravery, Comperatore threw himself over his daughter and wife, shielding them from the gunfire. Two other men, James Copenhaver and David Dutch, were also injured in the shooting.
The loss of life and the injuries sustained are heartbreaking, but what makes this incident even more disturbing are the revelations that have come to light since the attack—revelations that suggest the shooting could have been prevented.
One of the most shocking aspects of this assassination attempt is the growing evidence of security failures that occurred before and during the rally. As reports have revealed, Crooks was spotted on the rooftop by law enforcement and security personnel well before the shooting took place. Yet, no action was taken to remove him or neutralize the threat.
According to former Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle, agents were not stationed on the rooftop where Crooks positioned himself due to a “safety factor” associated with the roof’s slope. However, prior to the rally, the Secret Service had reportedly identified the rooftop as a security risk.
The obvious question arises: If the rooftop was deemed a risk, why wasn’t it more thoroughly secured? Why weren’t agents positioned there, or why wasn’t access to the rooftop restricted?
In addition, law enforcement officers reportedly encountered Crooks before the shooting and even photographed him twice. Officers reportedly radioed in that Crooks was acting suspiciously, yet no action was taken to prevent the tragedy. It wasn’t just one missed opportunity—there were multiple chances to stop Crooks before he opened fire. Why were these warnings ignored?
The questions surrounding this incident only deepen when you consider the shocking whistleblower claims revealed by Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO). According to these allegations, the majority of the Secret Service agents assigned to protect Trump during the rally weren’t even trained agents—they were from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and had only undergone a “two-hour online webinar” for preparation.
This revelation is nothing short of alarming. How could DHS agents with minimal training be tasked with the critical responsibility of protecting a former president? Why weren’t seasoned Secret Service agents in charge of securing the rally and ensuring Trump’s safety? The decision to rely on poorly trained personnel reeks of negligence, and it raises serious questions about the leadership and priorities of those overseeing the security detail.
Senator Hawley has called for a full investigation into the matter, and rightfully so. The American people deserve to know why these security failures occurred and who is responsible. The attempt on Trump’s life wasn’t just an isolated incident—it was the culmination of a series of mistakes and oversights that could have cost the former president his life.
Despite the gravity of the situation, coverage of the assassination attempt in the mainstream media has been surprisingly muted. The lack of thorough investigation and follow-up reporting has left many Americans wondering: Is the media deliberately downplaying this incident to protect certain individuals or agencies?
The media’s silence has only fueled speculation that there may be more to the story. Was this an isolated act by a lone gunman, or is there a deeper conspiracy at play? Why haven’t we seen a thorough investigation into how this could have happened, and why aren’t more people in positions of power demanding answers?
President Trump has long warned about the dangers of a biased media and a Deep State working against him. In this case, his warnings seem more relevant than ever. The assassination attempt and the subsequent lack of accountability suggest that there are forces working behind the scenes to suppress the truth and prevent a full reckoning of what happened.
Melania Trump’s demand for answers is not just a personal plea—it’s a reflection of what millions of Americans are feeling. How could this have happened? How could a gunman get so close to a former president without being stopped? And why aren’t law enforcement and government officials doing more to investigate the failures that led to this tragedy?
The American people deserve transparency. They deserve to know what went wrong and who is responsible. The lack of accountability in the aftermath of the assassination attempt is troubling, to say the least. Melania Trump is right to demand the truth, and the American people should join her in calling for a full investigation.
Despite the horrifying experience and the glaring security failures, President Trump remains undeterred. He continues to speak out on behalf of the American people, fighting for their rights and their future. His resilience in the face of danger is a testament to his strength and determination.
But this incident should serve as a wake-up call. The threats against Trump are real, and the failure to take them seriously puts not just him, but the entire nation, at risk. As Melania said in her video, “The silence around it feels heavy.” The truth must come out, and those responsible must be held accountable.
