President Donald Trump was notably absent from Sunday night’s prayer vigil for slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. The president spent his weekend at the Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey, instead of attending the memorial service that drew thousands of mourners and top Republican officials.
Trump returned to the White House at 6:30 PM on Sunday, just as people were lining up at the Kennedy Center about a mile and a half away to remember Kirk. The vigil started at 6 PM, making Trump’s decision to skip the evening particularly noticeable given that 85 members of Congress and his MAGA allies made appearances.
