Donald Trump on Sunday told an audience of mourners that he hates his opponents — a startling admission for a president of the United States, who represents all citizens. The remarks came at a memorial service in Glendale, Arizona, for assassinated conservative activist Charlie Kirk, following words from his widow, Erika. The answer to hate is not hate.”Trump praised Kirk’s “noble spirit” but then veered into his own views. I am sorry, Erika. But now Erika can talk to me and the whole group and maybe they can convince me that that’s not right.
