Host Charlamagne Tha God denounced Trump's presidency, resulting in Trump deeming him a 'racist sleazebag' in response.
Charlamagne tha God, the popular radio host, has predicted a significant shift in the Republican Party, suggesting a potential political coup that could see traditional conservatives regain control from the MAGA faction.
In a recent interview on Fox News' "My View with Lara Trump," Charlamagne discussed the current state of the Republican Party, stating that the Epstein scandal could be a catalyst for old-guard Republicans to regain influence [2][3]. He described this as an internal struggle, where this scandal becomes a strategic "way for traditional conservatives to take their party back" [2].
Charlamagne's prediction aligns with his broader view that the Republican Party is undergoing a significant internal shift. He has referred to this as a "political coup" that many observers might be overlooking [2][3].
This prediction has sparked controversy and drawn criticism from President Donald Trump, who responded by attacking Charlamagne personally following the interview [4][5]. Despite this backlash, Charlamagne has emphasized the importance of open political dialogue, criticizing mainstream shows for lacking conservative perspectives, and advocating for engagement across ideological divides [4].
In addition to his predictions about the Republican Party, Charlamagne has also expressed his views on Trump's presidency. He stated that he wouldn't give Trump a good rating because the least of people are still being impacted the worst [1]. He has also criticized policies that take away Medicaid from people and put them in a worse financial situation than before [1].
Despite previously mentioning that he would benefit from tax breaks approved in Trump's tax-and-spending law, Charlamagne has reiterated his stance against policies that negatively impact the most vulnerable members of society.
Trump, in response to Charlamagne's criticism, posted a comment on social media stating, "I know nothing about this guy, other than he's speaking badly about me. Not smart!" [4]. Trump also referred to Charlamagne as a "dope" who voted for Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris, but there is no confirmation of this claim [6].
Charlamagne, contrary to Trump's claim, did not disclose whether he voted for Harris. He has, however, been vocal about his criticisms of Trump and his policies.
