Trump just made the Charlie Kirk memorial all about him – and naturally, spouted hate

On 21 September, US president Donald Trump spoke at Charlie Kirk’s memorial. Despite spending the past few weeks complaining that his political opponents have attacked his character and put a target on his back, Trump spent a significant amount of time – you guessed it – attacking the character of his political opponents and putting a target on their backs:


The Trump show at the Charlie Kirk memorial

People commented on how the memorial for Charlie Kirk quickly became a celebration of Donald Trump:


This echoes Trump’s response a few days after the shooting:

Speaking on the “very religious” nature of the memorial, the BBC reported:

One of the recurring themes throughout Charlie Kirk’s memorial is the influence of his Christian faith.

Quoting passages from the Bible, Erika Kirk said her late husband would show “love for our enemies and love for those who persecute us”.

She added that her husband would “forgive” his alleged shooter.

Continuing that Christian message, here’s Trump encouraging the hatred of your opponents:

In the same speech, Trump also said:

And we have to bring back religion to America because without borders, law and order and religion, you really don’t have a country anymore.

Remember that bit in the Bible where Jesus said “hate thy neighbour?”

Remember that bit when the bad Samaritan kicked dirt at that man in the road?

Remember when Jesus turned the other cheek as a ruse only to subdue his enemy with krav maga?

To be fair, Jesus did kick the money lenders out of the temple, and Trump has had problems with people who loan him money. The difference is Jesus opposed to the predatory nature of loan sharks, whereas Trump just doesn’t pay his debts.

Brag man

Trump also used the opportunity of a public memorial to brag about an upcoming announcement he’s been teasing:


We’ll have more on this nonsense after the upcoming announcement, but for now, just be aware that Trump’s health guy is RFK Jr. – a man famous for stuff like this:

Don’t worry, though, he hasn’t let the worm stop him from swimming in tainted water:

So this is the guy who’s going to ‘cure’ autism.

I’m sure it’s not an issue that scientists think he’s a quack weirdo, or that he has a history of profiting from his weirdo quackery, or that he was linked to a measles outbreak in Samoa:


YouTuber Pointless Hub (check them out) noted how quickly things are spiralling into absurdity:

The united state of things

The situation in America is quickly deteriorating, with Trump pushing an anti-free speech agenda while simultaneously bolstering a masked secret police force and crashing the economy. While it’s bad enough the administration is pushing quack remedies, this situation is made worse by the hundreds of rural hospitals which are likely to close as a result of Trump’s Big, Beautiful Bill (if they’re not closing already).

It might be tempting to think things couldn’t get this bad over here, but don’t forget, Trump is close friends with Nigel Farage. Do you think Farage likes Trump for his witty conversation, or do you think he wants to emulate the American model?

We’ve talked about Reform politicians wanting to copy America’s disastrous ‘DOGE’ cuts; did you also know they had a quack doctor of their own at the recent Reform conference? Oh, and if you think Farage is Mr Free Speech, remember he supported the government proscribing a non-violent protest group as a ‘terrorist’ organisation.

Keep an eye on America over the next three years, and ask yourself if you want that chaos over here.

If you don’t, you need to keep a healthy distance from the people who want to import it.
