Donald Trump surprised many by not wearing black to Charlie Kirk’s massive memorial service in Arizona. Tens of thousands gathered at State Farm Stadium to honor the conservative activist, who was tragically shot earlier this month.
Instead of the usual black suit, Trump wore a red tie. Organizers had asked guests to wear “Sunday best — Red, White, or Blue” to celebrate Kirk’s life and reflect the colors of the U.S. flag. “We’re going to celebrate the life of a great man today,” Trump said before leaving Washington.
The event drew a huge crowd, including Vice President JD Vance and Health Secretary RFK Jr. Security was at Super Bowl levels to protect attendees and ensure safety.
This choice of color turned the service into a patriotic celebration rather than a somber occasion. Do you think more funerals should celebrate life with color instead of mourning in black?
