Melania continued and speculated that the shooter saw her husband as an \u201cinhuman political machine,\u201d and she called Donald a \u201cgenerous and caring man who I have been with through the best of times and the worst of times.\u201d<\/p>\n

Throughout the statement, the former model shared a unifying message, calling for Americans to come together. \u201cWe have always been a unique union. America, the fabric of our gentle nation is tattered, but our courage and common sense must ascend and bring us back together as one,\u201d she said. \u201cWe 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

Melania also begged people to look beyond the partisan lines and see each other more humanely, while thanking those who have reached out. \u201cAnd let us remember that when the time comes to look beyond the left and the right, beyond the red and the blue, we all come from families with the passion to fight for a better life together, while we are here, in this earthly realm,\u201d she wrote. \u201cThe 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 \u2013 thank you for remembering that every single politician is a man or a woman with a loving family.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
