Trump Awards Posthumous Medal of Freedom to Assassinated Conservative Activist Charlie Kirk

President Donald Trump announced he will posthumously award the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Charlie Kirk, the conservative activist who was fatally shot at Utah Valley University during a campus event. Trump praised Kirk as a 'giant of his generation' and 'a champion of liberty,' emphasizing that Kirk's courage and influence, especially among young people, will endure beyond his death. Kirk, 31, co-founded Turning Point USA, a prominent conservative youth organization, and was known for his outspoken campus appearances and strong support of Trump. The shooting occurred during a 'Prove Me Wrong' debate, with the shooter remaining at large while authorities continue their investigation. Utah Valley University suspended all activities following the incident, and the community is mourning Kirk's loss. The award ceremony date has yet to be announced, but Trump promised a large turnout to honor Kirk's legacy.
