Trump Reveals Son Barron’s Reaction to Assassination Attempt

President Donald Trump shared the touching story of his family’s response to hearing the news that he was shot during a failed assassination attempt in July.

Trump revealed his youngest son Barron’s reaction to the shocking attempt on the 45th president’s life.

In an interview with Mark Levin, Trump said his son was having a tennis lesson when he discovered his father had been shot.

“Barron was outside having a tennis lesson,” Trump told Levin.

“He’s a good tennis player.

“And somebody ran up and said, ‘Barron! Barron! Your father’s been shot!’”

Barron ran to his mother, Melania Trump, who had been watching Trump’s rally in Butler, Pennsylvania on live TV.

“He loves his father,” Trump said.

“He’s a good kid, good student, good athlete actually.

“He ran, ‘Mom! What’s going on? What’s going on?’”

“She couldn’t believe it,” Trump said of Melania’s reaction.

“She was actually watching it live, can you imagine?

“And then I get up, and I let people know I was OK,” he said, recalling his iconic moment of defiance, in which he raised one fist and shouted, “Fight! fight! fight!”

Trump said, “I let people know I was OK.

“But it was a hit, it was a big hit.”

WATCH:

Trump said his wife is still too traumatized to bring up the attack.

The shooting led the former first lady to issue a rare public statement in July condemning the attempt on her husband’s life.

“She can’t even talk about it, which is okay because that means she likes me,” he said.

The FBI is investigating the shooter, Thomas Matthew Crooks, who was killed by a Secret Service sniper.

Crooks was killed after shooting Trump in the ear from a rooftop less than 200 yards away.

FBI investigators have failed to identify a motive, describing Crooks as a loner with no clear ideology.

Trump miraculously survived the shooting by turning his head to look at a chart with immigration statistics, something Trump has credited to divine intervention.

“If I turned around just a little bit less, or a little bit more,” he told Levin.

“If I turned around more or less, it was still the end.

“It’s God. I know people that have become believers in God because of it,” Trump said.

The Secret Service and FBI have been accused of stonewalling Congress over the shooting.

It is leading many, including Trump, to speculate if something more nefarious was at work.

In a separate interview with Monica Crowley, Trump said he is beginning to question if he was set up.

“I wasn’t thinking this way three weeks ago, but the more you see it, the more you start to say there could be something else and that’s really dangerous for the country,” he said.
