"CNN commentator Maggie Haberman said President Donald Trump is having a difficult time processing the death of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. Kirk was fatally shot in the neck while speaking at an event at Utah Valley University on Wednesday. On Friday, police arrested 22-year-old Tyler Robinson in connection with the killing. Haberman joined Friday's edition of The Source, where host Kaitlan Collins asked about the manner in which Trump has handled questions about the murder."
"So many people around President Trump are very close to Charlie Kirk. President Trump was very close to Charlie Kirk. And President Trump faced two assassination attempts, one near miss last year. And so all of that is a lot of the context for how people in the White House and the president are responding to this. I think that he is struggling with this in terms of how to deal with this."
President Donald Trump is portrayed as struggling to process the fatal shooting of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. Charlie Kirk was shot in the neck while speaking at Utah Valley University, and a 22-year-old, Tyler Robinson, was arrested in connection with the killing. Many people close to the president had close ties to Kirk, and the president has experienced recent assassination attempts, which shapes White House reactions. Public responses from the president have been uneven and not consistently direct, with one public reply shifting focus to White House construction rather than the killing. Observers note the president is not likely to deliver the clearest statements on such incidents.
