WASHINGTON: President Donald Trump has taken on the job of spokesperson in a remarkable manner since the shooting death of American conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
Trump was the first to declare that the newest suspect was in custody and the first to confirm Kirk’s death to a stunned nation. He revealed the date of Kirk’s funeral and promised to be there.
Trump blamed the “radical left” for Kirk’s murder without providing any evidence until a suspect was arrested. In a wave of right-wing rage, many of his supporters repeated the charge and demanded retribution.
Kirk, a well-known but controversial podcast broadcaster and author of six books, left behind a wife and well-known acquaintances.
