Trump, Musk Truce at Kirk Funeral: Politics Meets WrestleMania 2.0
On September 19, 2025, tens of thousands crammed Glendale's State Farm Stadiumānot for a football game, but to mourn conservative firebrand Charlie Kirk. His widow Erika Kirk, now Turning Point USA's CEO, vowed 'now his mission is my mission' and generously forgave Kirk's killer, because whatās a memorial without a plot twist worthy of a daytime soap? The guest list read like a billionaire conservative summit: Trump gave a speech, Elon Musk showed up for a handshake that screamed 'Weāre playing nice... for now,' and UFC boss Dana White surprisingly stayed sober enough to chat. Lee Greenwood serenaded the crowd, reminding everyone that even in funeral mode, patriotism promises a killer playlist. Meanwhile, Vice President JD Vance and Robert Kennedy Jr. delivered their eulogies, proving political family drama isnāt just reserved for daytime TV.
