President Trump announced early Friday that a suspect in Charlie Kirk’s assassination was turned in by his father — with the suspect identified as Tyler Robinson, a 22-year-old Utah local who was “full of hate.”

“I think, with a high degree of certainty, we have him,” Trump told “Fox & Friends” during a live interview at the cable giant’s Manhattan studio, saying he heard just minutes before his 8 a.m. interview.

“Somebody who was very close to him turned him in,” the president said, then revealing it was the suspect’s dad who relayed it through “a minister who was involved with law enforcement.”

“I hope he’s going to be found guilty, and I hope he gets the death penalty. What he did — Charlie Kirk was the finest person and he didn’t deserve this.”

Trump did not ID the suspect, but he was later confirmed to be Robinson, an ID first confirmed by The Post.

“We got him,” Utah Gov. Spencer Cox announced, with the arrest at 10 p.m. Thursday some 33 hours after Kirk was gunned down.

Tyler was turned in by family members, who said he was “full of hate” — and confessed to his dad that he was the killer.

He even wrote, “Hey fascist! Catch!” on bullets found at the crime scene, Cox said.

The suspect was believed to have fired a single shot from an elevated position about 200 yards from the tent where Kirk, 31, was seated at the university’s Losee Center, authorities and sources previously told The Post.

Initial reports described the suspect as a gunman wearing jeans, a black shirt, and a black vest perched with a long rifle atop a building east of the school’s library.

Kirk, the co-founder of Turning Point USA and a dad of two, had just answered a question from an audience member about mass shootings committed by transgender people at the outdoor event on the campus in Orem when he was hit by a single round.
