President Donald Trump’s appearance at a memorial service for conservative activist Charlie Kirk is making headlines — not for his speech, but for a tender onstage embrace that has sparked both criticism and support across social media.
The service took place Sunday, Sept. 21, inside State Farm Arena in Arizona, where thousands gathered to honor Kirk, who was tragically assassinated on Sept. 10 while giving remarks at Utah Valley University. The president addressed the crowd from behind bulletproof glass, offering words of remembrance for Kirk before inviting his widow, Erika Kirk, to join him on stage.
