When Charlie Kirk was shot, he did a full oval office address. When it's college kids on campus it's "things can happen." What a sociopath.

Commentary: Trump’s insults, authoritarian rhetoric, grievance-postings and slipping approval ratings suggest he is growing disconnected from voters and increasingly a political liability to his own party.
Trump has lost his political superpower
More broadly, Trump’s debasement has implications for his party, a group of politicians who gave their loyalty and power to him, but now find themselves with little to run on.

Page 1075 of the DOD's Law of War manual, under the section that talks about refusing illegal orders, directly uses the example that "firing upon the shipwrecked would be clearly illegal."

Senator Kelly is correct.
Plus a Public Service Announcement:
KEY section of Department of Defense's Law of War Manual is 18.3.2.1.
The VERY rule on the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders gives as its paradigmatic example of what is "clearly illegal:
"orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

Here’s the original clip of Ronald Reagan from April 25, 1987, where he delivered a complete and total rebuke against tariffs. Trump's calling Reagan’s words here “FAKE” and “fraudulent.” They’re 100% real. And the original clip is actually far worse for Trump, as much is left out of the ad:
