Kirk, a prominent conservative activist and founder of Turning Point USA, tragically passed away in 2025. Trump also mentioned his family's influence, particularly his youngest son Barron.
Kirk's advocacy for TikTok as a political tool left a lasting impact on Trump's approach to social media engagement. The shooting that claimed Kirk's life occurred during an event at Utah Valley University as part of the American Comeback Tour.
