President Donald Trump announced today he would soon award Charlie Kirk a Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian honor awarded by the president.
Trump said the ceremony honoring the slain conservative activist would be large. I can only guarantee you one thing: That will have a very big crowd, Trump said.
The president was speaking outside the Pentagon at a ceremony honoring the 24th anniversary of the September 11 terror attacks.
Trump opened his remarks by remembering Kirk, who was a close political ally and a personal friend to many Trump advisers.

He's milking this for all it's worth.
