US President Donald Trump said that the bullet was aimed at every conservative, emphasising that the conservative activist Charlie Kirk was killed for expressing the ideas that they believed in. Addressing the crowd at Charlie Kirk's memorial service, Trump said, "The gun was pointed at him, but the bullet was aimed at all of us. That bullet was aimed at every one of us. Charlie was killed for expressing the very ideas that virtually everyone in this arena and most other places throughout our country deeply believed in."

"The radicals and their allies in the media... tried to silence Charlie for a simple reason because he was winning Big. They lied about him because they did not want you to listen to him or to learn from him," he added. Trump said that one "political community" believes they have a monopoly on truth, goodness, and virtue, blaming their thinking for the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
