President Donald Trump on Saturday blamed the “radical left” for blocking national healing.

“I’d like to see it [the nation] heal,” the president said told NBC News. “But we’re dealing with a radical left group of lunatics, and they don’t play fair and they never did.”

Trump survived at least two assassination attempts during the 2024 campaign. His comments echo some the president made Thursday about “lunatics” on the “radical left.” The president said he is focused on addressing violence on the left.

“I’m really concerned for our country. We have a great country. We have a radical left group of lunatics out there, just absolute lunatics, and we’re going to get that problem solved. I’m only concerned for the country,” the president said while leaving the White House.

The president has urged supporters and followers of Charlie Kirk, the GOP activist and founder of Turning Point USA who was assassinated on Wednesday, to respond with “nonviolence.” Numerous prayer vigils and memorials for Kirk have been held across the country in the wake of his slaying.

Mounting evidence suggests that Tyler Robinson, the suspected killer of Charlie Kirk, targeted the conservative pundit over politics. The shooter’s weapon, found stashed nearby the event at Utah Valley University where Kirk was killed, contained bullets with anti-fascist slogans and phrases written on the casings.

One of the messages read, “Hey Fascist! Catch!” Another included the lyrics from a famous Italian anti-fascist song called “Bella Ciao.”

GOP Governor Spencer Cox of Utah said on Saturday that Robinson was “deeply indoctrinated with leftist ideology.”

Law enforcement interviews with the suspect’s family members have revealed that Robinson had grown increasingly political in recent years and that he knew of and disliked Kirk in particular. At one recent dinner, Robinson had mentioned that Kirk planned to do an event at Utah Valley University.

The event was one of Kirk’s well-known college campus open debates during which the conservative commentator would invite anyone who disagreed with his opinions to challenge him.

Family members told authorities that Robinson, a 22-year-old from Utah, had become increasingly political in recent years. The suspect disliked Kirk in particular; at a recent dinner, he spoke of how much he disliked and disagreed with Kirk while also mentioning that the conservative planned to visit Utah soon for an event at Utah Valley University.
