Trump Talks of Barron Trump-Charlie Kirk Connection

President 👤Donald Trump talked about his son, 👤Barron Trump, wanting to be introduced to slain political activist 👤Charlie Kirk.

Trump sat down for an interview with “Fox & Friends” Friday morning, the Daily Wire reported.

The conversation centered around the death of Kirk, 31, who was assassinated Wednesday while on stage at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah, for a Turning Point USA event, “The American Comeback Tour.”

“He was very hurt when he saw this. But, I mean, everybody was,” the president said of 👤Barron Trump.

Trump said his son asked the president to introduce him to Kirk.

“Barron came to me and he said, ‘Dad, I’d like to meet somebody that you know, 👤Charlie Kirk.’ … I thought he was gonna say he wanted to meet like King Charles or something … and I set up a lunch … and he came back and said, ‘That guy’s great, Dad. That guy’s great.’ It was cute,” Trump said.

Trump spoke about the influence Kirk had over young Americans.

“Charlie had a magic over the kids and large numbers of them, and very diverse, black, white. I mean, everybody, the young women and boys, and I’ve never seen anything like it,” Trump said.

“We lost an unbelievable warrior,” Trump added.

Watch:

Kirk empowered “young conservatives to speak the truth on hostile, liberal college campuses,” the outlet reported.

“It’s kind of scary to say what you believe in, especially in this cancel culture,” Porter LaFeber, a student at Utah Valley University, said to The New York Times. “👤Charlie Kirk seemed like he just went totally above that. He kind of gave a voice to the people that were maybe a little bit scared.”

“He gave me the confidence to be able to believe what I believe,” LaFeber said.

Tyler Robinson, 22, was arrested Thursday night in connection with Kirk’s assassination. Robinson was a resident of Utah. He did not attend UVU.
