President Donald Trump was handed a golden opportunity to unite the American people in the wake of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk's death " and he rejected it with four words, deepening the political divide plaguing the country.

Asked Friday on "Fox & Friends" how Americans can "come back together" to "fix this country" after the fatal shooting in Utah on Wednesday that conservatives have blamed on Democrats and the media, Trump appeared wholly disinterested in any semblance of reconciliation.

"I'll tell you something that's going to get me in trouble, but I couldn't care less," he said.
