After the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk, President Trump promised to award him posthumously with the highest civilian honor: the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
Now, we have a date for when that will take place.
President Trump will present the award on Charlie Kirk’s birthday, which is this Tuesday, October 14th.
Very poetic.

Charlie Kirk deserves the honor.
He has become one of the most influential leaders of the conservative movement of our time, especially with the youth.
And, arguably, even more so after his death.
President Trump made the announcement himself this evening:

On another note, President Trump truly never rests!
He will be presenting the award right after he returns from a trip to the Middle East.
USA Today confirmed:
President Donald Trump says he will posthumously award slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk the Medal of Freedom at a White House celebration next week.
ADVERTISEMENTTrump said he’ll be rushing back to the U.S. from Israel and Egypt, following a trip that’s tied to a ceasefire and hostage-release deal he he helped secure in Gaza, for the ceremony honoring Kirk.
