As reporters were leaving the 9/11 memorial service at the Pentagon just a short while ago, President Trump briefly stopped and spoke to us before quickly entering his vehicle to begin the short drive back to the White House.
"I can't believe Charlie," Trump said, seemingly unprompted. "What a great guy he was."
Asked whether he had plans to speak to his family, Trump said that he "has it set for this afternoon".
Additionally, Trump said that "we're going to be talking about" how to bring the country together "very soon," without providing more details.
"We will be discussing [that]. You don't replace a Charlie Kirk. He's unique, as you all know...but, we'll do the best we can."
A reporter also asked for an update on the investigation, to which Trump replied that he had been briefed earlier.
"What you're seeing on the news is what it is," he said. "They have a virtual manhunt out there. We'll see what happens. We hope they get him."
"virtual manhunt", eh? They got AI right it.
