Las Vegas survivor on meeting Trump, first lady: They’re real people

The Hill   "Stephanie Melanson, a survivor of the Las Vegas mass shooting, said President Trump and first lady Melania Trump are "real people," recalling their visit to the hospital after her mother was wounded in the attack. 

"They're real people. He's a real human, she's a real human," Melanson said on CNN's "New Day." "They had a heart, they were caring, they were sympathetic, he had a listening ear. He sends his condolences."
"It was hard to take in," Stephanie Melanson said of her encounter with the first lady. "Before he could finish talking, she got up and beelined over to us and hugged me and told me 'Your mom is strong, she's a fighter, she'll be ok. She's gonna make it.'" 
. . . 
"In their visit to Las Vegas after the shooting, the president and first lady met with and consoled victims of the mass shooting and visited the city's police department." . . .
