FULL REMARKS: President Trump honors Charlie Kirk, speaks at memorial

President Donald Trump has called Charlie Kirk a “martyr for American freedom” during his remarks at the conservative commentator’s memorial service. “He’s a great American hero, that’s what he is,“ Trump said, adding that he believed that the Turning Point USA founder was a patriot. “America loved Charlie Kirk,“ the president said, adding that history will remember Kirk’s legacy. President Trump and Elon Musk were also seen together to honor Kirk. After what appeared to be an end to their friendship, the two were spotted shaking hands at Kirk’s memorial service at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. Amid the sorrow, Erika Kirk shared a moment of tenderness. “In death, I could still see the man I love. I noticed the single gray hair on the side of his head, which I never told him about. Now he knows. Sorry, baby,“ she said with a faint smile. She added that she also saw a gentle smile on his lips, which she took as a mercy—assurance that Charlie did not suffer.
