"Charlie was a giant of his generation, a champion of liberty and an inspiration to millions and millions of people, Trump said before announcing that he'd posthumously award Kirk the Presidential Medal of Freedom."
"Out of the wreckage, we watched unbelievable courage suddenly take form; and out of the darkness, we saw the timeless truth of American character shine for the world to see. In America, we take blows, but we never buckle; we bleed, but we do not bow; and we defy the fear, endure the flames, and emerge from the crucible of every hardship stronger, prouder, and greater than ever before. Last year, we were a dead country. Now, we have the hottest country anywhere in the world."
President Donald Trump spoke at a New York ceremony honoring the victims of the September 11 attacks. He paid tribute to political commentator Charlie Kirk, who was shot and killed at a Turning Point USA event, and announced a posthumous Presidential Medal of Freedom for him. Trump recounted stories about 9/11 victims and wove in rhetoric about American resilience and character. He described Americans as enduring blows without buckling and declared that after a low point last year the country is now the "hottest country anywhere in the world."
