President Trump announced early Friday that a suspect has been arrested for Charlie Kirk’s assassination.

“I think, with a high degree of certainty, we have him,” Trump told “Fox & Friends” during a live interview at the cable giant’s Manhattan studio, saying he heard just minutes before his 8 a.m. interview.

Trump did not ID the suspect. Investigators have scheduled a public update for later this morning.

Even if he gets the death penalty, it would be many decades if ever before it happens. Maybe as part of our negotiations with Russia, we could make a deal. I understand Black Dolphin Prison might be an excellent place to dump this trash.

I hope Trump’s comments don’t lead to the guy getting off easier.

One wonders how much the scrubbing of social media is going to happen before their name is announced if this IS the murderer.

No profile will be a tell.

It took them ~7 years to execute that dirtbag. That’s not “dispatch.” That’s not “sending them off quickly.”
