Donald Trump refused to let a historic Middle East peace deal delay him from honoring a fallen friend.
As White House aides rushed to arrange Trump's last-minute trip to sign the monumental Gaza peace agreement, the President issued one non-negotiable demand: be back by Tuesday, October 14 — what would have been Charlie Kirk's 32nd birthday, the day he's posthumously awarding Kirk the Medal of Freedom.
'He's a friend of mine, a friend of all of ours, a friend of all the people right here,' Trump said Friday evening in the Oval Office, vowing to return in time for 'a great celebration' of Kirk's legacy with his widow Erika and a gathering of the conservative leader's closest allies.
To make it back in time, Trump left immediately after signing the monumental peace deal in Egypt and his historic address to the Knesset with Israeli leaders.
He flew back to Washington, DC on Air Force One, arriving at 2.57am in Tuesday morning.
Just 13 hours later, Trump is scheduled to appear in the White House to keep his promise to Erika and all their friends.
Erika and her Turning Point lieutenants, friends and allies of their mission have gathered in Washington to mark the occasion, grateful to the President for keeping his commitment even amid the whirlwind of global events.

Sacajaweau! I’m several years younger than DJT. I ride my bike 2000 miles a year and run 400+ miles a year. THERE IS NO WAY that I could keep the schedule made each and evey day by our amazing President.
George Washington and Donald Trump - the two greatest ever.
Looks like we're on the same page.
I get a sense that Trump knows he has a short time to make an impact on the country. It’s a pace I expect him to keep up until January 20, 2029. We are witnessing in real time, the most amazing presidential term in US history.
I'm 75, we're definitely on the same page!
😂
Never a dull moment.
Does this man ever sleep?!
He’s incredibly energetic, and getting things done like a true leader ought. Quite a contrast to Biden, to say the least! His pace is rapid-fire, and his accuracy is phenomenal. I love having him as our President.

He is the CEO of America, inc. He knew for a long time you treat America as a business; you bring your product to the table and 30 different departments have to sign off before he approves of the deal. DOGE was meant to cut the 30 departments to 10 and Trump would cut another five percent.
“Trump is tiring me out...He makes life an amazing experience.”
I note as a distant observer that the likes of Elon Musk and Taylor Swift operate the same way. The ethic really is a billionaire thing…Or anyone capable of attaining to that level of stature. Olympic athletes too…They’re made of different stuff!
You know who else? Charlie Kirk.
In honor of his birthday, TPUSA’s chief of staff Mikey McCoy made the video:

Charlie would have been so pleased by the Gaza peace deal!
He was one of the people most instrumental in influencing Trump to stop the Iran strikes.
