To the families of the innocent victims who are now suffering from this heinous act, "I humbly offer my sincerest sympathy. Your need to summon your inner strength for such a terrible reason saddens me," Trump's wife said.

Condemning the act she said: "Let us not forget that differing opinions, policy, and political games are inferior to love. Our personal, structural, and life commitment until death is at serious risk," adding that the "fabric of our gentle nation is tattered, but our courage and common sense must ascend and bring us back togeher as one."

She also emphasised the significance of kindness and compassion and stressed that these were necessary for humans. "Political concepts are simple when compared to us, human beings. We are all humans, and fundamentally, instinctively, we want to help one another. American politics are only one vehicle that can uplift our communities. Love, compassion, kindness and empathy are necessities," her statement read.

"The winds of change have arrived. For those of you who cry in support, I thank you. I commend those of you who have reached out beyond the political divide - thank you for remembering that every single politician is a man or a woman with a loving family," she said, thanking supporters for reaching out to the family after the assassination bid.
