Barron Trump was part of the generation that Charlie Kirk helped turn conservative.
Kirk’s assassination hit hard.
And Barron Trump confided in his father this secret about Charlie Kirk.
As per American Patriot Daily reports:
Barron Trump was part of the generation that Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk turned into the most conservative in 50 years.
Kirk would show up on college campuses and sit behind a table displaying a “change my mind” sign and would debate all comers.
The sign wasn’t an invitation as much as a spoiler since Kirk was the one who changed minds through his message about the goodness of the Bible, America and the family.
A leftwing terrorist named Tyler Robinson murdered Kirk in cold blood.
Robinson got radicalized by spending time in the leftist ecosystem on the social media app Discord, where liberals smear conservatives like Kirk, who support Trump and believe that biological men can’t be women, as fascists and threats to democracy.
Robinson killed Kirk because he hated Kirk’s views and understood the way the left could win a debate with Kirk was by silencing him.
In an appearance on Fox & Friends, President Trump told the co-hosts that Kirk appeal to Gen Z was so vast that even his 19-year-old son Barron was a fan.
“He [Barron] was a tremendous fan,” Trump stated.
Trump told a story that summed up Kirk’s impact on the nation’s youth.
The President revealed that the one-time Barron asked him to arrange a meeting for some, Kirk was the request and Trump obliged by setting up lunch.
When Barron returned from meeting Kirk, he couldn’t have been effusive in his praise.
“So, Barron’s a very good student, and Barron came to me, and he said, “Dad, I’d like to meet somebody that you know.” “Who?” “Charlie Kirk.” I said, “What?” I thought he was going to say, I want to meet, like, King Charles or something, like we’re going to meet soon, right? But he said, “Really? You would?” And I set up a lunch with him, and he came back. He said, “That guy’s great, Dad. That guy’s great.” You know, he’s cute. “He’s unbelievable,” Trump continued.
Trump praised Kirk’s ability to connect with college age audiences despite never having attended college.
“I don’t know what it was. Charlie had a magic over the over the kids, and large numbers of them — and very diverse. Black, White, I mean everybody, the young women, and boys, and I’ve never seen anything like it and it was-, it was all good. I meant it was good stuff. It wasn’t some of the stuff you read about where they’re in favor of all these horrible things. It was really good stuff, and we lost an unbelievable warrior,” Trump continued.
Kirk’s message resonated with the youth because deep down, students understood there was more to life that the offer made by the Democrats of arranging society based on a hierarchy of racial grievances and canceling anyone who showed signs of wrong think.
Kirks made no apologies about being a Bible-believing Christian and that starting a family was the ultimate reward.
Thanks to Kirk taking the message of Christ and the Constitution to college campuses, Gen Z isn’t just the most conservative generation in decades, Americans aged 18-29 attend church 23 times a year, which is more regularly than millennials, Gen-X, or boomers.
Trump told the co-hosts that Barron Trump isn’t easily impressed,
But one meeting with Kirk left him raving about Kirk’s talents.
“I’ll never forget Barron coming back saying, ‘Dad, that guy’s great.’ You know, normally he’s not-, he’s not full of praise,” Trump added.
“What do you tell him now?” co-host Brian Kilmeade wondered.
Trump admitted the news of Kirk’s assassination left him crushed.
But Trump promised that in death Kirk would become even more powerful because of his status as a martyr to a generation of Americans.
“He was very hurt when he saw this,” Trump concluded. “He’s a great man, and he’s going to be more important because of what happened.”
