During a memorial service for Charlie Kirk, President Trump delivered a speech that quickly deviated from its intended purpose. While initially praising Kirk, the eulogy morphed into a series of tangents, touching on topics such as tariffs, political opponents, and the “Make America Healthy Again” movement. Trump admitted a key disagreement with Kirk, stating that he did not share his late friend’s desire to find common ground with opponents, a sentiment met with laughter from the audience. The president also used the opportunity to criticize political rivals, tease a potential announcement about autism, and denounce Kirk’s accused killer.

Trump, 79, Launches Weird Ramble in Bonkers Kirk Tribute. It’s difficult to know where to begin with this one, but the whole thing felt, frankly, bizarre. The reports coming out of the tribute to Charlie Kirk paint a picture of a rambling, self-serving speech, and the details are really something.
Trump’s words themselves are the starting point of the oddity. It seems his vocabulary is limited, and the way he speaks, the pattern of his speech, is just… well, it’s not what you expect from someone delivering a tribute. The phrase “He was a missionary with a noble spirit and a great, great purpose” feels like a cliché. However, it was the next part, where he said “I hate my opponent, and I don’t want the best for them,” that really landed with impact. To say something like that during what’s meant to be a memorial is just… shocking. It wasn’t even a veiled sentiment; he came out and said it!
The sheer audacity of using the tribute as a platform for blatant self-promotion is a low blow. It seems he just used the event to talk about his own (questionable) accomplishments, circling back to Kirk with comments about how much Kirk “supported his huge success.” The eulogy was seemingly nothing more than a campaign speech. It’s hard to imagine anyone expecting anything else at this point, but still, the lack of decorum is astounding. The idea that he’d exploit someone’s death like this, well, it speaks volumes.
One of the most concerning aspects is the very real and growing evidence of declining mental capacity. It is clear to many that there are serious concerns. Slurred speech, the rambling nature of the speech, and his general lack of coherence all point to something more than just a bad day. It has become increasingly obvious that he is exhibiting signs of dementia. This is not a trivial concern, given the profound responsibilities of the office.
The reactions to the speech and the overall nature of the tribute are telling. It’s as if Trump’s supporters are conditioned to accept anything he does or says. Some might even be “required to nod along and smile affirmatively,” as though there is no room for an alternative. It makes one wonder about the overall state of things.
The Steven Miller quote really highlights this division, the “us vs. them” mentality. Miller, in his speech, essentially paints a picture of a cultural battle. He frames those who disagree as “wickedness, jealousy, envy, hatred.” The tone is polarizing and inflammatory.
The fact that this event felt more like a campaign rally only adds to the unease. It underscores the way that tragedy, and even remembrance, can be manipulated for political gain. The whole situation is a mess. The repeated insistence that he hates his opponents and wants the worst for them should be unsettling to everyone. To have that so casually and bluntly stated, especially in such a context, is beyond the pale.
It’s difficult to avoid the impression that the entire event was staged, using the loss of life as a political tool. The fact that Trump seemingly didn’t shed a tear suggests a complete lack of genuine emotion. The whole thing is frankly disgusting. It is a blatant example of exploitation, using the loss of a man as a springboard for his own agenda and further divisive rhetoric.
This incident really shows how much the left seems to understand the true nature of those they are dealing with. The sentiment that the right is “launching their hunting down of autistic people” seems extreme, but maybe not. They may seem extreme, but their actions prove their true nature.
There’s also the suggestion that if you are on the left, you need to take up arms. This isn’t just an isolated comment. The fact that it comes up again and again shows the deep divisions. The constant calls to action and the violent rhetoric really need to stop.
This is more than just a case of a bad speech; it’s a glimpse into the mindset of the former president and those who continue to support him. It’s concerning. It’s alarming. And it’s difficult to know where to go from here.
