While the entire country is arguing over how to respond to the death of Charlie Kirk, there is one man who isn’t concerned with being politically correct or upsetting the wrong people.

That man is President Donald J. Trump.

In the days after Kirk’s death, Trump was asked while on the White House lawn, “How have you been holding up, sir?” Without missing a beat, Trump responded, “I’m holding up great,” before directing the journalists’ attention to a long line of trucks in the distance ready to begin work on his White House ballroom.

Trump then skipped a vigil held for Kirk at the Kennedy Center over the weekend to go golfing.

And today, in a sitdown with FOX News, Trump made a Charlie Kirk joke that would have sent Jimmy Kimmel to an El Salvadorian prison. When Martha MacCallum said that Charlie Kirk believed that there “is no such thing as hate speech,” Trump replied, "He might not be saying that now."

Good thing he’s President of the United States, otherwise, he’d probably be out of a job!
