President Trump just revealed details about the gut-wrenching moment he found out Charlie Kirk was shot and killed.
In an appearance on Fox & Friends this morning, President Trump said he was interrupted in the middle of planning for the new White House ballroom with the news.
It came as a great shock to him.
President Trump recalled he “didn’t know what they meant” at first, and was then informed that Charlie Kirk had been shot.
Watch what President Trump said here for yourself:
.@POTUS recounts the moment he learned of Charlie Kirk's murder: "They said, 'Charlie Kirk is dead.' I didn't know what they meant. I said, 'What do you mean, dead?' 'Charlie Kirk was shot…' I just told these people, 'Get out. Just go.'"

Recall that President Trump was among the first to announce the tragic news of Charlie Kirk’s death.
His assassination came as a shock to us all, including President Trump.
It’s still so heartbreaking.
