In an interview with NBC News, Trump talked about the Charlie Kirk assassination, criticized “a radical left group of lunatics” and called for Democratic donor George Soros to be jailed.

Donald Trump said he hopes the nation will heal following the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, though he suggested in an exclusive interview Saturday with NBC News that a “radical left” contingent in the country stands as a barrier to reconciliation.

“I’d like to see it [the nation] heal,” the president said in a brief telephone interview. “But we’re dealing with a radical left group of lunatics, and they don’t play fair and they never did.”

The suspect arrested in Kirk’s murder is 22-year-old Tyler Robinson of Utah. He is alleged to have shot the conservative activist during a speaking event Wednesday at Utah Valley University. Public records show that Robinson’s last voter registration date was July 13, 2021, with no political party declared.

    Healing would require extinguishing every source of rightist propaganda and resetting the wealth of every billionaire. They don’t want healing, they want war and this is more of the same theater they use to escalate violence. “We need peace” they cry as they torture and murder our most vulnerable. After November 5, violence became inevitable. Fascism has achieved the terminal momentum it needs to enter the final stage. Either escape or prepare. You don’t have long.
