Here’s what conservatives need to know.
CNN’s Maggie Haberman sparked outrage on Friday after suggesting President Donald Trump may be struggling emotionally following the tragic assassination of conservative powerhouse Charlie Kirk.
Kirk, a close ally of President Trump and a leading voice for young conservatives, was gunned down in cold blood while speaking at Utah Valley University on Wednesday. Witnesses say the 31-year-old activist was shot in the neck during his speech, sending shockwaves through the crowd and across the country.
Just two days later, authorities arrested 22-year-old Tyler Robinson in connection with the heinous killing, which many are calling a targeted attack on free speech and conservative values.
CNN Fuels Speculation About Trump’s Mental Health
During Friday’s broadcast of The Source, CNN host Kaitlan Collins asked Haberman how President Trump has been handling the devastating loss.
Haberman’s response raised eyebrows nationwide:
“So many people around President Trump were very close to Charlie Kirk. President Trump himself was extremely close to him. Remember, President Trump has already faced two assassination attempts, including one terrifying near-miss just last year. All of this is weighing heavily on him and on those inside the White House,” Haberman said.
She went further, hinting that Trump may be battling depression, saying he’s “struggling” to process the murder.
“I don’t think you’ll ever hear him deliver the kind of carefully polished statement other politicians give,” she added. “Trump speaks from the heart. He says what he feels — and the American people knew that when they voted for him.”
Trump Stands Strong Despite Heartbreak
On Thursday, Trump was asked by reporters outside the White House how he was coping with Kirk’s death.
Displaying his trademark resilience, Trump responded:
“I’m doing very well,” he stated confidently. “And if you look over there, you’ll notice the trucks — they’ve begun work on a brand-new White House ballroom. It’s a project people have been pushing for well over a century, and it’s going to be absolutely stunning.”
This brief remark highlighted Trump’s determination to move forward, even as the conservative movement mourns the loss of one of its brightest young leaders.
Why This Matters to Conservatives
The murder of Charlie Kirk isn’t just a personal tragedy for President Trump — it’s a wake-up call for all Americans.
- A key conservative voice silenced during a public event.
- CNN using the tragedy to question Trump’s mental health, instead of condemning political violence.
- Ongoing threats to free speech and conservative activism in America.
As investigations continue, many conservatives are rallying behind Trump, determined to honor Kirk’s legacy by fighting harder than ever for faith, family, and freedom.
Final Thoughts
The mainstream media is already twisting this story to fit their anti-Trump narrative. But the truth is clear: Trump remains strong, even as he grieves a trusted ally and friend.
The question is, how far will the radical left go to silence conservatives before America says enough is enough?
