When asked what is going to tell Kirk’s wife and family, Trump said he will provide comfort.
“Well, I’m going to give you my love. There is nothing as if you can say. You talk about the great things you have done. I mean, it has been incredible. He has had a great influence for a young man who was a great job. He did a tremendous job and had control over youth because they loved him. They respected him,” Trump said.
