Charlie Kirk was ‘truly one of these great forces of nature’: Eric Trump
Eric Trump said Charlie Kirk was a revolutionary figure in the conservative movement in the face of “constant siege.”
Kirk, the founder of Turning Point USA, was killed Wednesday while speaking on Utah Valley University campus, and is the latest victim in growing acts of political violence across the country. Trump described Kirk as “a dear friend,” and recalled how Kirk was “so far beyond his age” upon meeting him for the first time 10 years ago.
“What he created, at that point, he had a couple chapters. Turning Point was in its infancy. They had absolutely no funding, and yet he spoke about this big dream of creating this incredible organization and inspiring millions and millions of kids and really redirecting the whole political conversation all across youth across the country. What’s a bigger goal than that?” Trump said on Wednesday during Fox News’s Hannity.
“And he did it. And I watched him over that 10-year period of time. Ten years ago I met him, right, and I watched him over that period of time, and he was truly one of these great forces of nature,” Trump said.
Trump recalled how he and Kirk once visited Georgetown, Trump’s alma mater, which is “incredibly liberal,” and the two had “the greatest conversations with kids on both sides of the spectrum.” He also praised Kirk for loving the United States, God, his family, and the “Make America Great Again” movement.
Trump also shared his belief that bullets are “only going one way,” pointing to the two assassination attempts on his father and the shooting of Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA). He asked when the “senseless nonsense” will stop, and when media outlets like MSNBC will be held accountable for fostering “this hate.”
“It’s enough,” Trump said.

Multiple MSNBC clips covering Kirk’s shooting are going viral on X for controversial statements, particularly from analyst Matthew Dowd, who appears to blame Kirk for the attack. The network fired Dowd late Wednesday for his “unacceptable” comments.
CNBC SquawkBox cohost Joe Kernen said Thursday that President Donald Trump spoke about Kirk during a call to congratulate the show’s 30-year anniversary. Kernen said the president was “devastated” about Kirk’s death, and that he believed Kirk “could’ve been president someday.”
