Trump Declares Hatred for Opponents at Charlie Kirk Memorial with Tens of Thousands Attending

At the public memorial for slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk held at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, President Donald Trump delivered remarks expressing his opposition to forgiving political foes, stating, "I hate my opponents, and I don't want the best for them," a stance he admitted differed from Kirk's own philosophy. This declaration followed an emotional tribute from Kirk's widow, Erika Kirk, who publicly forgave her husband's killer, emphasizing Christian principles of love and forgiveness over hate. Trump criticized the political left and media, accusing them of celebrating Kirk's death and attacking free speech, while receiving standing ovations from a large audience including GOP lawmakers and notable figures. Additionally, Trump highlighted his administration's upcoming White House initiative on autism, dubbing it "Make America Health Again" and promising new insights and solutions. The event showcased contrasting messages: Erika Kirk's call for love and forgiveness in the face of tragedy, and President Trump's candid admission of political animosity and his broader cultural and policy critiques. The memorial underscored Kirk's impact on conservative youth and the ongoing political tensions surrounding his legacy.
