President Donald Trump met with press aboard Marine One shortly after Sunday’s emotional memorial service for Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.

Trump offered heartfelt words of support for Kirk’s widow Erika during the brief Q and A session when he was asked about a private moment he shared with her after the event.

“I’ve gotten to know her over the years. She’s great,” Trump said. “You know, Charlie always used to say, ‘She’s smart.’ He would always say that. You don’t necessarily say that about a lot of people, but he always felt that.”

Trump also spoke about Erika’s character and resilience in the wake of the tragedy.

“She’s got a good heart. And she’s got a shot at making it even more special when you think about it. She’s gonna do good. I think she’s gonna do a good job,” Trump said. “That’s a hard thing to do. You know, it’s one thing to make a speech. For her to make that speech, cause they had a really good relationship.”
