Trump Says He ‘Couldn’t Care Less’ About Healing Divisions, Casts Right-Wing ‘Radicals’ as Anti‑Crime

Officials say a 22-year-old suspect is in custody in the Kirk shooting, with preliminary findings pointing to a lone actor.

Overview

  • On Fox & Friends, President Donald Trump said “I couldn’t care less” when asked how to “fix this country,” portraying right‑wing “radicals” as motivated by fighting crime and labeling the left “the problem.”
  • The interview centered on Charlie Kirk’s assassination, and Trump also singled out George Soros for scrutiny and cited his earlier remark about “beat the hell out of them.”
  • Soon after the interview, the FBI and Utah’s governor announced an arrest in the Kirk case, saying initial indications suggest the suspect acted alone.
  • Authorities have identified the suspect as Tyler Robinson, 22, who is in custody, according to reporting that cites official statements.
  • MSNBC analysis noted Trump’s far stronger response to Kirk’s killing than to the earlier assassination of Minnesota Democrat Melissa Hortman and argued his rhetoric and Jan. 6 pardons risk normalizing partisan violence.
