People online have found a bizarre link between Donald Trump and Erika Kirk after pictures of the two at Charlie Kirk‘s memorial have circulated.

President Trump and Erika, the widow of Charlie Kirk, who was shot dead on a university campus in Utah earlier this month, took center stage at his memorial this weekend (September 21).

The two shared memories, tributes, and even a hug, as 60,000 people watched on at the State Farm Stadium in Arizona.

Erika has been vocal about her husband and his untimely death following the fatal shooting, as has the president, who was a close friend of Kirk’s.

It was announced at the memorial that the mother-of-two is now the new CEO of Kirk’s company, Turning Point USA, and is dedicated to furthering his cause.

But Erika hasn’t always been a CEO; she was actually an entrepreneur in her early twenties, and has a slightly bizarre link to Trump long before she ever met Kirk.

An X (formerly Twitter) user found bikini photos of Erika from her beauty pageant days, and made a link nobody expected.

They wrote: “Oooooh. Erika Kirk competed in the 2012 Miss USA competition, which was owned by Trump.

“Her talent portion for the Miss Arizona contest was performing a dribbling exhibition with two balls.

“Her website still lists contact info to book her for modeling and acting.”

While it’s relatively common knowledge that Trump ran the Miss USA competitions from the 90s until 2015, few people know just how much involvement he really had.

Preliminary judges revealed Trump would hand-pick winners, and also make comments on them.

Erika won Miss Arizona USA on her 23rd birthday in November 2011, which allowed her to compete in the 2012 Miss USA competition, owned by Trump at the time.

But the revelations don’t stop there.

The post also claimed that Erika’s father was involved in the construction of the Trump Tower, which makes the link between the two even stronger.

During the memorial, Trump hailed Kirk as a ‘giant of his generation’ and said America is ‘a nation in shock and mourning,’ while Vice-President JD Vance said he ‘changed the course of history.’

Erika gave an emotional and deeply religious speech, in which she called for people to ‘choose Christ’ and take up her husband’s mission.

Speaking through tears, she also announced that she had forgiven the man who shot her husband, named by the FBI as 22-year-old Tyler Robinson.
