In a surprising moment at Charlie Kirk’s memorial service in Glendale, Arizona, Donald Trump Jr. delivered an unusual impression of his father, former President Donald Trump. The impersonation was met with laughter and mixed reactions as the crowd gathered to honor the life of the controversial activist, who was tragically assassinated earlier this month.
Kirk, the founder of Turning Point USA, was fatally shot on September 10 during an event at Utah Valley University. His death has sparked national outrage, and thousands gathered at State Farm Stadium on September 21 to pay their respects. Among the attendees were family members, political figures, and supporters of the movement Kirk founded.
Donald Trump Jr.’s Bizarre Moment at the Memorial
The memorial, which was attended by many high-profile figures, included a peculiar moment when Donald Trump Jr. took the stage to deliver a speech. In an unexpected twist, he began impersonating his father, mimicking his distinctive voice while jokingly addressing the crowd.
“You know, Don, you’re getting a little aggressive on social media. Don, relax!” Trump Jr. said, imitating his father’s voice. The camera quickly panned to former President Trump, who could be seen laughing and giving his son a thumbs-up in approval.
While some found the moment humorous, others were left puzzled by the unusual impression at such a somber event. Despite the mixed reactions, the light-hearted moment seemed to lighten the mood at a memorial that was otherwise filled with solemn tributes.
President Trump Reflects on His Last Conversation with Charlie Kirk
During the memorial, President Trump also shared a personal memory of his last conversation with Charlie Kirk. Recalling the interaction, Trump said, “So the last time I spoke to him, he said ‘Sir,’ then he goes ‘Phoenix,'” referring to an invitation Kirk extended for Trump to speak at an event in Phoenix.
Trump continued, recalling his response: “‘Sir could you, er, get to Phoenix,’ this was like in a day. I said, ‘Charlie, I’m the President of the United States, you’ve called me, asking me if I could speak tomorrow in Phoenix? You can’t do that to me, Charlie.'”
Despite the humorous exchange, Trump admitted, “But I usually ended up going. He was great. He was a great guy, and he didn’t deserve this. He didn’t deserve this, believe me.”
A National Outpouring of Support at the Memorial
The memorial service for Charlie Kirk, held at State Farm Stadium, attracted thousands of attendees, including members of the public, political figures, and the Trump family. In addition to President Trump and his son, Vice President JD Vance traveled from Washington, D.C. to attend the service, along with other prominent figures such as US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, and US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
The memorial was a somber occasion, with attendees reflecting on Kirk’s impact on American politics and his dedication to conservative values. However, the event was also marked by heightened security measures. Strict protocols were enforced, including a dress code requiring attendees to wear formal attire, and no bags were allowed inside the stadium.
On the eve of the memorial, an armed man was arrested after conducting a “security sweep” near the stadium, further emphasizing the heightened security presence at the event.
Charlie Kirk’s Legacy and the Continued Fight
Despite the tragic circumstances of his death, Charlie Kirk’s legacy lives on through the movement he built. Turning Point USA, the organization Kirk founded, continues to be a powerful force in American politics, particularly in engaging young conservatives and promoting free speech.
President Trump and others at the memorial expressed their unwavering commitment to carrying on Kirk’s work, emphasizing the need to continue advocating for the values he championed. “Charlie was a great guy, and he didn’t deserve this,” Trump said, reflecting on the loss and the impact Kirk had on the nation.
