Trump praised his wife for handling the situation at the shooting scene "very well"!
"But really, I mean, in such a situation, who wouldn't be afraid?"
April 26, U.S. CNN published an article.
Trump recalled the moment he and the First Lady realized there was a threat.
In an interview with CBS News' "60 Minutes," Trump described the moment when the atmosphere inside the banquet hall began to shift.
President Trump detailed the process by which he and First Lady Melania Trump recognized the seriousness of the situation during the White House Correspondents' Association dinner, recounting how the atmosphere started to change.
"They were asking about Caroline's child's name, and he didn't know it," Trump told "60 Minutes," referring to the moment when performer Oz Pearlman tried to guess the name of the unborn child of White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt.
As the situation escalated, Trump said he and the First Lady began realizing that the disturbance was far more serious than they had initially thought.
When asked if Melania Trump felt scared, Trump replied: "Well, I don't want to say this—people don't like others saying they were afraid at the time—but really, I mean, in such a situation, who wouldn't be afraid?"
"I think she already realized at that point that it was more like bullets rather than trays," Trump said, referring to the sounds heard at the time.
"She looked very distressed by what had just happened," he said.
But on Sunday, President Trump stated that when gunshots rang out at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, First Lady Melania Trump "handled it extremely well."
"I've been through situations like this a few times before. But her reaction wasn't that intense," the president said in an interview with Nora O'Donnell on CBS's "60 Minutes."
Trump said the First Lady was "very strong and intelligent."
"She understood it; she knew what was happening."
