Here are key moments you missed:
President Trump fondly remembered Charlie Kirk: “Don said to me, ‘He’s sort of like a son to you…’ He started this really during what would normally be college… and it’s become a movement… I’ve never seen young people, or any group, go to one person like they did to Charlie.”
President Trump described the moment he learned of Kirk’s murder: “They said, ‘Charlie Kirk is dead.’ I didn’t know what they meant. I said, ‘What do you mean, dead?’ ‘Charlie Kirk was shot…’ I just told these people, ‘Get out. Just go.’”
President Trump announced the National Guard will be deployed to Memphis to assist in fighting violent crime: “We’re going to Memphis. Memphis is deeply troubled… The mayor is happy and the governor of Tennessee, the governor is happy… We’re going to fix that just like we did Washington.”
President Trump urged Americans to move forward rather than living in fear of political violence: “You have to go forward. You just have to go forward. You watch as closely as you can.”
President Trump called on supporters to counter Radical Left violence with their votes: “You want revenge at the voter box.”
President Trump recounted his visit to the New York Yankees game on the 24th anniversary of 9/11: “It was like the old days… We had a good time — and the fans were really nice… We got a tremendous applause because they love the country.”
President Trump outlined what will bring unity to the country: “The only thing that’s going to bring us together is tremendous success.”
President Trump highlighted the economic success of his second term: “I love doing it because we’re going to Make America Great Again — it’s happening. Look at the stock market. We’ve had the stock market hitting record highs… never been higher.”
President Trump spelled out the reality on big city crime: “Almost every city that’s in trouble is run by Democrats. Cashless bail is a disaster… has to be ended immediately.”
President Trump touted the historic success of his Make D.C. Safe Again initiative: “Look at what we did in D.C. We took D.C. — probably the single-worst place in the country in terms of the country — [and now] there’s no crime. It’s a crime-free area.”
President Trump mentioned investigations into organized agitation by the Radical Left: “We’re going to look into Soros because I think it’s a RICO case against him and other people because this is more than protests. This is real agitation; this is riots on the street — and we’re going to look into that.”
President Trump praised the Supreme Court’s decisions on merit: “We have a decision on merit. In other words, this country is now a country of merit. You don’t have to be a woman or a man or a this or a that… it’s all based on merit now… That was a big, big decision.”
President Trump lambasted Senate Democrats’ obstruction: “We have 200 people that left their jobs in order to come into the Administration, and the Democrats are blocking every one… “If I had George Washington and Abraham Lincoln — they came back from the dead and they wanted to go into the Administration — Schumer would not approve them.”
President Trump scorched Fed Chair Jerome Powell: “Jerome ‘Too Late’ Powell. Too late on the interest rates… He’s a year late — and despite that, we have the best economy.”
President Trump lamented the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine: “[My patience] sort of running out and running out fast — but it does take two to tango… When Putin wants to do it, Zelensky didn’t. When Zelensky wanted to do it, Putin didn’t… We’re going to have to come down very, very strong.”
President Trump trumpeted the importance of his America First trade agenda: “We’ve been successful because of the tariffs. It’s given us a great power to negotiate with other countries that took advantage of us — tremendous power. Also, it has brought billions of dollars into the country. We have a big case… it’s now at the Supreme Court. That case is really important to win because it’s made us a rich country.”

Wow, Charlie Kirk’s murderer was living with his romantic partner, a Tranny male, who’s transitioning to female. So not only is the mentally ill murderer a leftwing fanatic, he loves his Hershey highway packed by another male.
You liberal violent democrats sure are an embarrassment not only to America, but to males worldwide. You’re Pedophiles, Rapist, Abusive, Felons, Drug Addicts, Violent, Hypocrits, Murderers, Mentally Ill and seem to like a good pounding from your liberal democrat males pretending to be females but with a penis.
How disgusting and vile will the party of the mentally ill sink?
Might want to up the Zanex…………..
How about those Epstein emails. Nice …
Jeff did Ivanka while Don watched and whacked off.
Did that fool say transparency. Get real ITS CALLED A COVER UP
Did you guys realize trump was a FBI informant. For Jeffrey Epstein. That is the most ignorant stupid comment in history. MAGA Mike Resign …
Just another gun death in America. Happens every day
Spineless are you bring your death gun to Glendale Az. next weekend you wished Trump was dead here’s your chance ball less.
Hope someone plugs Trump in Glendale. Get him to lean to the left like Charlie did.
Blame the radical left, accusations are an admission.
Who pushed hate, violence ? K
Kirk, and the don and many Republicans in Congress.
Typical , attempt at diversion.
Success? seen all the economic numbers lately?
He killed the Midwest, his base with his taco tariffs.
What an azzhat,.
All right folks, the raging idiot who posts with “the don” etc nailed it this time.
Kirk’s killer was hardcore ultra reich right wing. I mean, after all, he was dating a tranny…
Good detective work! You should apply to be a reporter for the Sierra Scenthole!
Fox called for homeless veterans to be put to death … Just Saying
Trump also said on Fox “300 million” Americans died last year from drug overdose. “300 million”……………….
That means just about all of America is dead????????????????????????
Kari Lake should self deport … So we’ll can actually work on making Americans great again
Spineless when are you leaving for Glendale?
Soon as I’m done banging your son.
As usual the Republicans have hijacked christianity.
Kirk was supposed to be “christian”, yet he pushed hate, trying to make empathy a new “woke” thing, when the new testament is full of messages to show empathy.
The new christians, are not christian, they are anti christs with their message of hate towards anyone not their brand of christian.
Examples-
From Kirk , and the don sees him as a saint-
• Gay people should be stoned to death
• Black people were better off under slavery
• Most people are scared when they see a black pilot flying a plane
• Taylor Swift should reject feminism and submit to her husband
• No one should be allowed to retire
• The guy who assaulted the Pelosi’s should be bailed out
• Multiple black politicians “stole white people’s spots”
• MLK Jr was “an awful person”
• The Great Replacement Theory is reality
• Hydroxychloroquine cures COVID
• Vaccine requirements are “medical apartheid”
• Parents should prevent their daughters from taking birth control
• George Floyd had it coming, the Jan 6th protestors didn’t
• The 1964 Civil Rights Act was a “huge mistake”
• Encouraged parents to protest mask mandates
• Mandami winning in NY was a travesty because Muslims did 9/11
• Muslims only come to America to destabilize Western Civilization
• Palestine “doesn’t exist” and those who support it are like the KKK
Give it a couple months and most people will forget he existed like they do for Rush Limbaugh.
• Women’s natural place is under their husband’s control
• Parents should prevent their daughters from taking birth control
• George Floyd had it coming, the Jan 6th protestors didn’t
• The 1964 Civil Rights Act was a “huge mistake”
• Encouraged parents to protest mask mandates
• Mandami winning in NY was a travesty because Muslims did 9/11
