Donald Trump delivered a forceful message following the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

From the Oval Office, President Donald Trump addressed the nation with a message of solve and mourning following the murder of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, who was brutally attacked at a university event in Utah.

In a solemn and forceful tone, Trump expressed his deep sadness and anger at what he aptly described as an "atrocious act of political violence."

Trump began his speech by describing Kirk as an inspiring leader, a figure who touched millions of lives and who, after his death, has become an even more powerful symbol. "Charlie inspired millions. Tonight, everyone who knew and loved him is united in pain and horror," he declared.

In a direct statement, Trump blamed radical left-wing political violence, noting that acts like Kirk's murder are not isolated incidents. In his account, he mentioned other acts of violence that have marked his presidency and American politics in recent years, including:

• The attempted assassination against himself in Butler, Pennsylvania, in 2024, where a father lost his life.
   
• The constant attacks against ICE agents.
   
• The murder of a healthcare executive on the streets of New York.
   
• The shooting of House Majority Leader Steve Scalise and three others who were injured.

By listing these events, the president correctly emphasized that political violence has a clear ideological origin and that it is being fueled by certain sectors, not only individuals, but organizations that finance, promote, and justify it.

Trump promised a firm response from his administration, assuring that his government will track down all those directly and indirectly responsible for these acts, including funding groups, instigators, and those who attack judges, law enforcement, and officials who uphold constitutional order. "We're going after every one of those who have contributed to these kinds of atrocities," he assured. Meanwhile, the Trump administration stated that the death penalty will be sought for those responsible for this savage attack.

In the final part of the speech, Trump called for national unity, asking Americans to commit to the core values that Charlie Kirk represented: freedom of speech, active citizenship, and respect for the rule of law.

Invoking a patriotic and spiritual tone, he stated that Kirk's legacy will not die, but will grow. "Charlie now has a stronger and greater voice than ever, and there is no possible comparison," he said.

He closed his address with words of comfort for the Kirk family and an invocation for peace with God, stating: "May God bless his memory. May God watch over his family."
