Trump wishes healing on US following killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk
(MENAFN) US President Donald Trump expressed hope on Saturday that the nation could recover from the shock of conservative activist Charlie Kirk’s killing.
“I’d like to see it heal,” Trump said in a phone interview, adding: “But we’re dealing with a radical left group of lunatics, and they don’t play fair and they never did. We’ll see what happens. They (the left) don’t like what’s been happening. We’ve been winning very big.”
Kirk, 31, was shot and killed on Wednesday while speaking to students at Utah Valley University in Orem, a city located about 40 miles south of Salt Lake City. The attack unfolded despite the presence of both campus police and Kirk’s private security team.
Footage circulated online showed the moment a bullet struck him mid-speech, prompting chaos as students fled. He was transported to a nearby hospital but was pronounced dead later the same day.
In a statement shared on his Truth Social account, Trump wrote: “To my great fellow Americans, I am filled with grief and anger at the heinous assassination of Charlie Kirk on a college campus in Utah.”
He further argued that “for years, those on the radical left have compared wonderful Americans like Charlie to Nazis and the world’s worst mass murderers and criminals,” stressing: “This kind of rhetoric is directly responsible for the terrorism that we’re seeing in the country today.”
