    Tinfoil hat time: Based on the close up of the shooting, it looks like he got shot right in the corrotid artery, which has a very high mortality rating. Then Trump posts “The Great, and even Legendary, Charlie Kirk, is dead. No one understood or had the Heart of the Youth in the United States of America better than Charlie. He was loved and admired by ALL, especially me, and now, he is no longer with us. Melania and my Sympathies go out to his beautiful wife Erika, and family. Charlie, we love you!” Trump wrote on his social media platform. If he hasn’t officially been declared dead, why is Trump saying that Charlie Kirk is dead. I’m calling it, Trump had Kirk assassinated, and this will be trump’s reischtag fire. Buckle up.

      Pretty shitty Reischtag, given two politicians were literally assassinated by a guy pretending to be a police officer three months ago and no one even remembers.

        Most people reading this comment don’t even know the names of the two politicans assassinated recently. Everyone knows the name Charlie Kirk.

      I wouldn’t say Trump knowing first is because he had him killed. I’m sure the president has the resources to get the news as quickly as possible. The interesting thing about Trump announcing it first is that it is considered bad taste to announce someone’s death in social media. Kirk may have had family that found out of his death from Trump’s post to the world.
