(Washington DC) As Tyler Robinson appears in court for charges of killing Charlie Kirk, while Luigi Mangione, alleged shooter of healthcare CEO Brian Thompson appears for hearings, First Lady Melania Trump has taken rare initiative in calling for Americans to pay attention to the similarities between these men. In a rare press conference, the first lady called for vigilance.
“No one can deny these crimes are wrong, and forbidden,” she said on Monday. “We have to pay careful attention as a nation to young, well-formed, white men in this age range. We need to know where they are going, whether they are buying weapons, if they have a girlfriend. This is our duty to keep America safe.”
The comments have drawn praise from those who feel America has a problem not divided by left and right, but by strong emotions and political feelings of helplessness. “I know I feel helpless when a much stronger young man is in the elevator with me,” said one female pundit. “You try to appear confident, but you never know what their intentions are. I’m often sweating after thirty seconds.”
These comments mirror the First Lady’s, who has made it her task to monitor the young male staffers of the White House when the president is away or golfing. She replied to questions that this monitoring will be ongoing, and will support the Secret Service. “They don’t have time to watch every pool boy or dishwasher, so I’m going to help with that… much like I’m calling on every American to do as well.”
The president praised the First Lady’s efforts from his golf course in Mara Lago. “She does great, great work,” he said. “Very pleased.”
