Speaking to the press about her stop at the castle, Trump called it “very emotional.”
“It’s great. It’s very emotional,” Trump shared, according to a release from the first lady’s office. “This is a very special place. I will never forget the incredible experience and the stories that I heard from the gentleman. The dungeons that I saw … what happened so many years ago, it’s really a tragedy.”
