The former president expressed how difficult the experience was for Melania to discuss, recalling a conversation they had later about her feelings during the incident. “When I could talk to people, I said, ‘So what was your feeling?’, and she said she can’t even talk about it, which is okay because that means she likes me,” Trump added with a bit of humor, emphasizing the deep bond they share.
Later in the interview, Trump spoke about how his eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., reacted. Describing Donald Jr. as someone “great with guns,” Trump recalled his disbelief at how the shooter had missed his target. “I can’t believe it. From that distance… I can’t believe it,” Donald Jr. had told his father. Trump then elaborated on the distance, comparing the missed shot to “sinking a one-foot putt.”
Trump detailed how narrowly he avoided a deadly outcome, mentioning that he was presenting a chart on border crossing statistics when the attempt happened. “If I turned around just a little bit less, or a little bit more, it was still the end,” he remarked, noting the gravity of the moment.
This revelation about the close call comes at a time of great change for Barron Trump, who has also been adjusting to new experiences in his personal life. On Wednesday, Barron was spotted arriving for his first day at New York University (NYU). The New York Post captured images of the young Trump, flanked by Secret Service guards, as he stepped out of a car at NYU’s downtown Manhattan campus.
The former president proudly shared that his son is attending NYU’s prestigious Stern School of Business. “He’s a very smart guy, and he’ll be going to Stern, the business school, which is a great school at NYU,” Trump said.
Previously, Trump had floated the possibility of Barron attending the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, his own alma mater. Wharton has also been the educational home for other Trump family members, including Ivanka Trump, Donald Trump Jr., and Tiffany Trump. Eric Trump, however, chose a different path, attending Georgetown University.
While Barron’s journey into higher education is just beginning, his father had hinted at his college plans in an exclusive interview with the New York Post last month. Although he didn’t reveal too much at the time, Trump’s pride in his son’s academic future was evident.

Melania Trump, in an April interview with Fox News Digital, expressed how proud she is of her close bond with Barron. The former First Lady shared that their relationship brings her more joy than any other aspect of her life. Barron, the only child the former president and Melania have together, remains a central figure in both of their lives as he transitions into young adulthood.
This latest chapter in Barron Trump’s life, coupled with his father’s narrow escape from danger, highlights the extraordinary pressures that the Trump family continues to face, both personally and publicly. Yet, through it all, their unwavering bond and resilience remain a central part of their story.
