President Trump has posted an uplifting message to his supporters, and to all Americans, on his Truth Social account.
The text reads (via The Guardian):
Thank you to everyone for your thoughts and prayers yesterday, as it was God alone who prevented the unthinkable from happening.We will fear not, but instead remain resilient in our faith and defiant in the face of wickedness. Our love goes out to the other victims and their families.We pray for the recovery of those who were wounded, and hold in our hearts the memory of the citizen who was so horribly killed.In this moment, it is more important than ever that we stand united, and show our true character as Americans, remaining strong and determined, and not allowing evil to win.I truly love our country, and love you all, and look forward to speaking to our great nation this week from Wisconsin.

First Lady Melania Trump also issued a statement.
The text reads (via The Guardian):
America, the fabric of our gentle nation is tattered, but our courage and common sense must ascend and bring us back together as one.When I watched that violent bullet strike my husband, Donald, I realized my life, and Barron’s life, were on the brink of devastating change. I am grateful to the brave secret service agents and law enforcement officials who risked their own lives to protect my husband.To the families of the innocent victims who are now suffering from this heinous act, I humbly offer my sincerest sympathy…A monster who recognized my husband as an inhuman political machine attempted to ring out Donald’s passion – his laughter, ingenuity, love of music, and inspiration. The core facets of my husband’s life – his human side – were buried below the political machine…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.And 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.
