Trump was more interested in the White House construction than the death of Kirk.

"My condolences on the loss of your friend, Charlie Kirk. How are you holding up?" a reporter asked while on the White House lawn.

The president quickly responded: "I think very good. And by the way, right there you see all the trucks. They just started construction of the new ballroom for the White House, which is something they've been trying to get for about 150 years.

"And it's gonna be a beauty. It'll be an absolutely magnificent structure."

Social media users on X were quick to call out the controversial politician, as one person raged: "He is just brutal to watch or listen to, period. Evil and self-indulgent at all levels."

Trump Is Also Focused On Mail-In Votes

Another added: "Trump cares more about his ballroom than the death of his friend. Narcissistic behavior," and one reacted, "Cannot make it about someone else for even 5 seconds."

Well, I hope MAGA cultists now know what kind of person he is," a user added. "No matter how loyal you are to him, it's always about him."

Earlier in the day, the former reality star appeared on Fox & Friends, where he once again didn't pay much attention to a question about the conservative podcast host.

Co-host Brian Kilmeade asked Trump what kind of "revenge" his loyal supporters would be after following Kirk's assassination.

Kirk was assassinated in front of a crowd during an event in Utah.

"You want revenge at the voter box," Trump responded, before quickly complaining about mail-in voting and ballot drop boxes.

He claimed: "Unfortunately, we don't have so many ballot boxes because they have mail-in voting, which is totally rigged. I like ballot boxes where you can; they do mail-in voting all over the place, which is, which is rigged."

During his appearance on the conservative morning show, Trump also revealed the suspect behind the shooting was in custody, explaining at the time "someone very close to him turned him in," and added a "minister, father" helped in his capture.

He added: "I hope he's gonna be found guilty, I would imagine, and I hope he gets the death penalty for what he did."
