Donald Trump took aim at Charlamagne Tha God on Truth Social Sunday after “The Breakfast Club” co-host appeared on Lara Trump’s Fox News program “My View” discussing the shifting powers of the GOP amid the Trump-Jeffrey Epstein scandal.
“The very wonderful and talented Lara Trump, whose show is a big ratings success, put racist sleazebag Charlamagne ‘The God’ on her show,” Trump wrote. “(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 continued, “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.”
The post was followed by a response from Charlamagne on Instagram Sunday. Along with a photo of Trump’s post, he also shared an excerpt from “The Daily Show” along with a clip of his “My View” appearance.
“President Trump was better off going after Urkel tho because he is really Scraping The Bottom of The Black Barrel coming at me,” he wrote. “You can’t go from MLK JR, President Obama, Oprah, Beyonce, to a sleezebag name Lenard.” (Charlamagne’s real name is Lenard McKelvey).

During his interview on “My View,” Charlamagne said that “traditional conservatives are going to take the Republican Party back” from the MAGA base, with Trump’s alleged connection to convicted sex offender Epstein as their way in.
“I think there’s a political coup going on right now in the Republican Party that people aren’t paying attention to,” he said. “I think this Epstein thing is going to be a way for traditional conservatives to take their party back, I really do.”
He added, “They know this is the issue that has gotten the base riled up. The MAGA base isn’t letting this issue go, and for the first time, they know they can probably take their party back and not piss off the MAGA base.”
