Trump speaks after attack: 'Worried? We live in a crazy world"

"I was not afraid. I know how life goes. We live in a crazy world." These were the words of US President Donald Trump in his first interview, granted to CBS, since the attack on the White House Correspondents' Dinner. And on the first lady Melania Trump he remarked: 'I don't want to say (she was scared, ed), people don't like to say they were scared, but certainly, who wouldn't be in a situation like that? She is very strong, intelligent. She understood. She knew what was happening,' he added. On the assassin, Cole Tomas Allen, he spoke of an "incredible speed. I think the National Football League should hire him,' he joked.

"I read a text," he continued. "He became radicalised. He was a Christian, a believer, and then he became anti-Christian. His family was very worried, he was probably a very disturbed young man,' she repeated. He also called him 'quite incompetent'" because "he was caught" and "got caught quite easily". On the moments of the attack, "I wanted to see what was going on," he said. "I was surrounded by great people. And I probably slowed them down a little bit in the intervention."

Then, he recounted, "I started to walk with them", urged to stay down. "I was standing, more or less. I was standing and then I turned in the opposite direction and roughly started to walk in a fairly upright position, a bit bent over," he went on to reconstruct the most agitated moments. "I was almost halfway up and they said, 'Please get down on the ground. Please get down on the ground." So I got down on the ground. And so did the first lady." The president then praised the officers: 'They did a really good job'.

Words that match what the tycoon posted, hot off the presses, on his own social media site Truth: 'What happened last night is exactly why our great Armed Forces, Secret Service, Law Enforcement and, for different reasons, every President for the past 150 years has demanded that a large, safe and secure dance hall be built within the White House complex.
