Charlamagne’s Critical Interview
Radio personality Charlamagne Tha God was on Lara Trump’s Fox News show, ‘My View,’ last weekend. During this Saturday interview, ‘The Breakfast Club’ host, among others, vehemently spoke against former President Donald Trump. In particular, Charlamagne expressed his concern over what he characterized as the “authoritarian strategy” of the Trump administration. He also questioned the former president extensively on the controversial case of Jeffrey Epstein, hence acquainting Lara Trump’s viewers with these issues.
Afterward, Donald Trump responded to Charlamagne’s critical remarks with a lot of fire. On his Truth Social platform, he made several posts. Firstly, Trump complimented Lara Trump, the show’s host, and his daughter-in-law, saying she was “wonderful and talented.” On the other hand, he resorted to a severe personal insult against Charlamagne, calling him “racist sleazebag” and “Low IQ individual.” Trump vehemently claimed Charlamagne had “no idea what words are coming out of his mouth” and asserted that Charlamagne “knows nothing about me or what I have done.”
Trump’s Claimed Achievements
Following these personal insults, Trump then listed several major accomplishments he attributed to his own presidency. He emphatically stated he ended five wars, including a “31 year bloodbath between the Republic of the Congo and Rwanda,” where “Seven Million people have died” with “no end in sight” before his intervention. Additionally, he mentioned resolving conflicts involving India and Pakistan and asserted he “wiped out Iran’s nuclear capabilities.” Trump also highlighted domestic actions, claiming he closed the “horrendous open Border” and “created [ed] the greatest economy,” arguing that under his leadership, “prices and Inflation have come way down.” Finally, he contrasted this sharply with President Biden, whom he labeled “STUPID and CORRUPT,” claiming Biden “set the record for doing the Worst Job as President, EVER.”
Closing Attack and MAGA Call
Consequently, Trump circled back to Charlamagne in his final remarks, derisively calling him “this dope” and questioning his judgment. Trump rhetorically asked if Charlamagne “would vote for Sleepy Joe or Kamala?” To conclude his post, Trump contrasted the perceived state of the nation before and after his presidency, declaring, “Remember, one year ago our Country was DEAD, now it’s the ‘HOTTEST’ Country anywhere in the World.” He finished with his signature rallying cry: “MAGA!!!”
Charlamagne’s Instagram Response
The following morning on Sunday, Charlamagne Tha God actively responded to Donald Trump’s Truth Social rant by sharing a clear screenshot of the entire post directly on his Instagram account. Furthermore, he added a detailed caption addressing the situation. Within this caption, Charlamagne explicitly instructed his followers: “Swipe left to see how correct @msjwilly was on @thedailyshow this past week.” He then directly criticized Trump’s choice to target him, stating: “President Trump was better off going after Urkel tho because he is really Scraping The Bottom of The Black Barrel coming at me.”
Additionally, Charlamagne pointed out the perceived absurdity in Trump’s insult strategy, writing: “You can’t go from MLK JR, President Obama, Oprah, Beyonce, to a sleezebag name Lenard.” Finally, he reiterated his core viewpoint expressed during the Fox News interview, confirming: “Anyway Yes I Believe There Is A Political Coup happening in the Republican Party,” while also expressing gratitude: “and I appreciate @laraleatrump having me on #MyView last night to talk about that amongst many other things.”
Celebrity Reactions Pour In
Consequently, a lot of celebrities got involved with the dialogue almost immediately, among their reactions that they posted prominently within the comments beneath Charlamagne’s Instagram posting. For example, Andrew Schulz, co-host of ‘Brilliant Idiots’ with Charlamagne, made a funny joke about new content by writing: “Donkey of the day tomorrow about to be legendary.” At the same time, super-talented hip-hop artist Big Daddy Kane joined the conversation by providing a typically clever and insightful reply. Kane first congratulated Charlamagne by writing: ‘Congrats Bro! YOU MADE IT!!!’, but then immediately followed with sarcastic nuance, noting: ‘Well kinda, once he say The Breakfast Club has low rating and nobody listens, you’ll be THE GREATEST!!!’ This comment cleverly anticipated a potential future insult from Trump while playfully acknowledging the backhanded nature of such recognition within the context of the ongoing feud.
