Trump Spoils Utah Shooter Scoop, FBI Left Flapping

In a plot twist hotter than a Utah summer, President Trump confidently announced 'With a high degree of certainty, we have him in custody' about Charlie Kirk’s alleged killer on Fox & Friends, Friday morning—well before the FBI’s planned rollout. A minister buddy of law enforcement allegedly called the suspect's dad to snitch, earning some serious friendship points. The FBI dangled a sweet $100,000 reward and crime scene pics Thursday, while the poor FBI Director Kash Patel flubbed, first cuffing the wrong dude then doing the 180-release dance. Kirk was fatally shot Wednesday during a 3,000-person rally at Utah Valley University by a sniper on a roof 200 yards away wielding a bolt-action rifle. Trump hopes the death penalty sticks, while everyone tries to keep the political blame game from turning into a WWE smackdown.

Trump just RSVP'd early to a mass shooting announcement party, stealing FBI’s thunder and ruining Kash Patel’s mis-arrest saga. Utah sniper on roof, $100K FBI bounty, and minister-powered snitch hotline got zero chill.

FBI’s trying to investigate but Trump dropped the mic so hard even the bolt-action rifle heard the noise. Snitch minister and Kash Patel’s wild ghost suspects make this feel like political Survivor meets reality TV.
