Trump’s Rant Against Charlamagne tha God Draws Accusations of Racism

Donald Trump’s latest social media rant has reignited criticism of his long history of racially charged remarks. In a heated Truth Social post, the former president targeted popular radio host Charlamagne tha God, calling him a “racist sleazebag” and a “low-IQ individual.” The attack came after Charlamagne criticized Trump’s leadership during an interview with Lara Trump on Fox News. While Charlamagne, born Lenard McKelvey, stopped short of saying Trump did a “terrible job” as president, he stressed that Americans deserve leaders who perform well regardless of party affiliation. “All we want is somebody in those positions that’s going to do a good job. I’m not a party person, in no way, shape or form,” he said. Trump, visibly irked, also took aim at Charlamagne’s stage name, questioning, “Why is he allowed to use the word ‘GOD’ when describing himself?” The exchange adds to a long list of Trump’s public disputes with prominent Black figures and comes amid his ongoing push for a political comeback.
