President Trump exclusively told The Post Wednesday afternoon that\u00a0Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk<\/a>\u00a0was \u201cnot doing well\u201d after the conservative activist was shot during an event at a Utah college.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt looks very bad,\u201d the president said in a brief phone interview as the nation reeled from news of the shooting. \u201cHe was a very, very good friend of mine and he was a tremendous person.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe must all pray for Charlie Kirk, who has been shot. A great guy from top to bottom. GOD BLESS HIM!\u201d the president wrote on Truth Social\u00a0after receiving initial word of the shooting at Utah Valley University.<\/p>\n

Vice President JD Vance\u00a0tweeted<\/a>\u00a0shortly before Trump\u2019s message was posted:\u00a0\u201cSay a prayer for Charlie Kirk, a genuinely good guy and a young father.\u201dKirk cofounded TPUSA in 2012 at age 18 after dropping out of Illinois\u2019 Harper College \u2014 with\u00a0the group rapidly emerging as a large national network of young conservatives, eclipsing the College Republicans in influence since Trump\u2019s first election in 2016.<\/p>\n

In addition to leading the grassroots group, Kirk has served for years as a prominent pro-Trump surrogate and as an informal adviser to White House and Republican\u00a0Party officials on messaging, policy and staffing.<\/p>\n
