Social media users have found a bizarre link between President Donald Trump and Erika Kirk, as 'bikini photos' resurface.
Following her memorial speech on 21 September at State Farm Stadium in Arizona, Erika Kirk, the wife of online influencer Charlie Kirk, has been in the spotlight.
Charlie had been appearing at Utah Valley University where he was on stage addressing a crowd of 3,000 people as part of his ‘American Comeback’ tour, when he was struck in the neck by a gunshot.
Authorities later confirmed that he had died as a result of his injuries and an FBI manhunt ensued.

22-year-old Tyler Robinson was arrested in connection with the murder and made his first court appearance via video link from Utah County Jail on 16 September, where prosecutors confirmed they would seek the death penalty.
At the memorial, President Donald Trump shared a heartfelt embrace with Erika and addressed how he handles political opponents differently to how Kirk approached them.
Erika noted that the surgeon had told her that Charlie did not in any way suffer.
"I saw the wound that ended his life, but there was something else. Even in death, I could see the man that I love," she explained.
Now, social media is getting riled up over Erika's earlier life and a bizarre connection that links back to the US President.
X user Outspoken shared an image of Erika competing in the 2012 Miss USA pageant, which at the time was 'owned by Trump.'
The user wrote: "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."
Another image that displayed a snapshot of Charlie Kirk's family history also uncovered some hidden political connections.

The image showed Charlie's father Robert W. Kirk who was supposedly 'involved in the construction of the Trump tower,' showing the family's ties to Trump’s business and political network.
Erika's national profile began in 2012 when she competed in Miss USA representing Arizona, marking an early link to Trump before her entrance into conservative political circles.
Days after her husband’s assassination, she took up a leadership role at Turning Point USA. She has vowed to uphold the organisation’s mission: “We will not surrender or kneel before evil. We will carry on.”
Some social media commenters have quickly picked up on the bizarre connections.
"There are no coincidences. I stopped believing in coincidences a long time ago," one user wrote.
"Ok a lot of this makes sense now," a second user replied.
"ALL planned!!" someone else remarked.
