Um, as you mentioned, it all happened so quickly and I wonder, especially because unfortunately you have experience with these sorts of threats in that moment when you realized there was a threat and service agents were telling us to get down.
Can you describe um what was going through your mind, how you were feeling in that moment?
>> That's a very good question actually.
It was uh it's always shocking when something like this happens.
Happened to me a little bit and uh that never changes.
The fact we were sitting right next to each other, the first lady on my right, and I heard a noise and sort of thought it was a tray.
I thought it was a tray going down.
You know, I've heard that many times.
And it was pretty loud noise.
And it was from quite far away.
He hadn't breached the area at all.
they really got him.
But uh so it was quite far away, but it was a gun and some people uh really understood that pretty quickly, other people didn't.
I was watching to see what was happening.
Probably should have gone down even faster.
Melania was very cognizant, I think, of what happened.
I think she knew immediately what happened.
She was saying that's a bad noise and uh I would we were whisked away along with other people but we were really whisked away and again the performance of the secret service and the police all of the law enforcement I thought it was really good.
So it was very quick.
There wasn't a lot of time to be thinking because it was a matter of seconds before we were out the door and gone into an area.
We very much and you wanted to too.
We very much wanted to continue it because I don't like to let these sick people, these thugs, these horrible, horrible people change the fabric of our life, change the course of what we do.
So we held held out.
You were there.
We held out right till the end, but they didn't want to take a chance.
And I understand there was protocol.
