Trump on “Horrible” Charlie Kirk Haters: “Where Do They Come From?” “I Guess We Just Have Sick People Out There”
In an interview with FOX News Channel’s Martha MacCallum, President Donald Trump reacts to people saying negative things about the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
MARTHA MACCALLUM, FOX NEWS: You just mentioned the TikTok deal with China, and among the many conversations that have happened in the aftermath of the assassination of your good friend Charlie Kirk has been the terrible effects t,b, is it worth it for the damage that it has done in many ways to our kids? PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: So I didn’t know too much about TikTok, and Charlie actually recommended it to me. He said, you should go on TikTok, but other people too. And I went on TikTok, and I really hit big. I mean, I think I had more views than anybody else in the world, actually. And as you know, I did phenomenally with youth, young people, very young people, you know, young voters, that typically a Republican… I think Romney got like 6% or something like that, it wasn’t so long ago. And I got tremendous, you know, millions and millions of young kids. Nobody’s ever seen anything like it. And I give TikTok and Charlie and probably some other reasons, but, you know, we did well. But I got to understand TikTok. You’re right, they said negative, but they also said mostly positive about Charlie. I mean, the statements on TikTok and other places. Now, you know, look, I saw on FOX and I saw on others some of the quotes that people made that was so horrible. And you say, where do these people live? Where do they come from? They said horrible things about the death of Charlie. And I guess we just have sick people out there. I mean, even if you didn’t like them, you can’t say the kind of things that they say.
