Donald Trump was a no-show at Sunday’s religious vigil for slain right-wing activist Charlie Kirk.

......................

Trump’s schedule for Sunday included no public events. He returned to the White House at 6:30 p.m. after huge queues had formed outside the Kennedy Centre in Washington, D.C., to commemorate the slain influencer.

The vigil started at 6 p.m. and was attended by 85 members of Congress as well as key MAGA figures, including House Speaker Mike Johnson, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt.

During her impassioned speech, Leavitt covered for her boss, stating, “..............

White House Press Sec Karoline Leavitt: “I speak on behalf of the President when I say, ‘President Trump loved you so much, Charlie, too.’”

Maybe the side of his face droops so much that he's drooling all over his tent-suit?
Maybe he was sundowning to the point of catatonia?
Maybe he's... dead?

Trump claimed that Charlie Kirk was like a son to him, but instead of attending the vigil that was held for him at the Kennedy Center last night, he chose to go on a weekend outing at one of his golf clubs in New Jersey.
