This week, Donald Trump revealed that Melania Trump is deeply affected by the attempt on his life, which she witnessed live. Trump recounted how she thought the worst when he was injured and bleeding. The shooter, 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, was killed by a Secret Service counter-sniper, and the attack resulted in one death and two injuries. Criticism of the Secret Service has grown, particularly over security lapses and their failure to track Crooks despite warnings. Trump dismissed the agency’s advice to stop holding rallies outdoors, emphasizing their symbolic importance. The Secret Service’s leadership changed last week, with Ronald Rowe replacing Kimberly Cheatle, who resigned after a congressional hearing on the incident. The FBI also released information about Crooks’ troubling online searches before the attack.
