President Trump railed against Charlamagne tha God on Sunday after the radio host predicted the Jeffrey Epstein saga would pave the way for traditional Republicans to take back the GOP from the MAGA base.
Charlamagne made the remarks in an interview on Fox News’s “My View with Lara Trump,” which is hosted by the president’s daughter-in-law.
“The very wonderful and talented Lara Trump, whose show is a big ratings success, put racist sleazebag Charlamagne ‘The God’” on her show, the president wrote on Truth Social early Sunday. “(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?)”
“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 continued, before touting several accomplishments of his term.
In the Fox News interview on Saturday afternoon, Charlamagne said he thinks “traditional conservatives are going to take the Republican Party back” following the intense backlash from many of Trump’s supporters to the way he has handled calls for transparency around the late disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein.
“I think there’s a political coup going on right now in the Republican Party that people aren’t paying attention to. I think that this Epstein thing is going to be a way for traditional conservatives to take their party back. I really do. I think that they know this is the issue that has gotten the base riled up. The base, the MAGA base, isn’t letting this issue go,” Charlamagne said.
“And for the first time they know they can, you know, probably take their party back and not piss off the MAGA base. I think they’re going to do that,” he added.
Lara Trump pushed back, saying she doesn’t think “we’ll ever see another typical, kind of, traditional election with traditional Republicans,” adding, “I feel like things have changed.”
But Charlamagne said he thinks that line of thinking will be a trap for Republicans, who don’t recognize that Trump is a “once-in-a-lifetime… political juggernaut” who can’t be replicated.
“You’re not going to be Donald Trump. So if you think you’re going to be able to do what Donald Trump has done, talk the way Donald Trump has talked, get away with what Donald Trump has gotten away with, it’s not going to happen,” Charlamagne said.
