Q: My condolences on the loss of your friend Charlie Kirk. How are you holding up? TRUMP: I think very good. And by the way, right there you see all the trucks.

One day he said to me “Twitter is abuzz about Illini golf,” and I was like dude you only follow Illini sports accounts. And that’s how every reporter feels Charlie Kirk was the most important person in the world.

This is why they usually give shooters three names! “Lee Harvey Oswald” isn’t what his friends called him, it’s what the authorities released to avoid other Lee Oswalds getting mistaken. It’s weird they didn’t do it in this case.
