Kirk was a supporter of Trump's dating back to the Republican's first presidential campaign in 2016. Trump, in turn, has expressed admiration for the 31-year-old influencer.
"In many ways, he's bigger now," said Trump.
Kirk's Turning Point USA organization had scheduled two campus events in September in Utah. Kirk, 31, was shot while speaking before a gathering outdoors at Utah Valley University on Wednesday in Orem, Utah.
Trump bemoaned the fact that any prosecution for a shooting suspect will take years to wind its way through the courts. The president said he hoped the suspect would face the death penalty.
