Donald Trump called Charlamagne tha God a “racist sleazebag” after the radio host criticized his leadership in an interview with Lara Trump on Fox News.
In the interview Charlamagne, a co-host of ‘The Breakfast Club,’ told Trump that the president’s massive budget legislation, dubbed the ‘big, beautiful bill,’ will hurt the poorest Americans, argued that the average American is not faring better under Trump, criticized the Trump administration’s mass deportation policy and said former Vice President and 2024 Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris is “looking pretty, pretty good” now compared to Trump.
Charlamagne, whose real name is Lenard McKelvey, also weighed in on the Epstein scandal telling Trump’s daughter-in-law that it provides an opening for traditional conservatives to take their party back from MAGA.
“I think that traditional conservatives are going to take the Republican Party back,” he said. “I think this Epstein thing is going to be a way for traditional conservatives to take their party back, I really do.”
It is unclear which comment set Trump off, but he took to his social media app, Truth Social to call Charlamagne a “racist sleazebag” and a “Low IQ individual” who does not know anything.
“The very wonderful and talented Lara Trump, whose show is a big ratings success, put racist sleazebag Charlamagne “The God” (Why is he allowed to use the word “GOD” when describing himself? Can anyone imagine the uproar there would be if I used that nickname?),” Trump wrote in the 12:49 a.m post.
“He’s a Low IQ individual, has no idea what words are coming out of his mouth, and knows nothing about me or what I have done,” Trump said, adding that he ended five wars and bragged about “creating the greatest economy, where prices and Inflation have come way down” despite evidence to the contrary.
“Remember, one year ago our Country was DEAD, now it’s the ‘HOTTEST’ Country anywhere in the World. MAGA!!!” Trump concluded.
