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.
