Donald Trump avoided calling for unity following the assassination of activist Charlie Kirk, blaming the American political left for the country's problems.

Following the assassination of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk, Donald Trump refused to make a call for unity, focusing instead on criticizing the radicals on the left. In an interview, he described the left as "evil" and avoided acknowledging bipartisan divisions. His comments were seen as a surprising move for a sitting president, who chose a partisan and vengeful tone, threatening organizations and individuals he considers responsible for political violence.
