Trump tears apart 'racist sleazebag' Charlamagne Tha God after he criticized the president in front of his daughter-in-law
'The Breakfast Club' radio host sat down with Lara Trump, who is married to the president's son Eric Trump, on Saturday night as she asked him to rate her father-in-law's performance in office over the past six months.
'I wouldn't give it a good rating - simply because the least of us are still being impacted the worst,' Charlamagne, whose real name is Lenard Larry McKelvey, replied.
'Like when you look at something like the 'Big, Beautiful Bill'. That's something that I'm going to benefit from because of the tax bracket that I'm in. But there's going to be so many people that's hurt by that bill,' he added.
Trump signed the 'Big, Beautiful Bill', a landmark piece of tax cuts and spending legislation, into law in early July.
'And you know, anything that, you know, takes away Medicaid from people and puts them in a worse financial situation then they were previously in - I'm not for,' Charlamagne, 47, added.
Trump was not happy with the comments the media personality made - prompting him to make a scathing post on his Truth Social platform at 1.49am on Sunday.
'The very wonderful and talented Lara Trump, whose show is a big ratings success, put racist sleazebag Charlamagne 'The God' (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?),' Trump wrote.
The president then ripped into the radio host, who voted for Kamala, for saying his Democratic presidential opponent is currently looking 'pretty, pretty good.'
'But this dope, Charlamagne, would vote for Sleepy Joe or Kamala? Remember, one year ago our Country was DEAD, now it's the 'HOTTEST' Country anywhere in the World. MAGA!!!,' the commander-in-chief wrote.
He went on to call Charlamagne a 'Low IQ individual' who doesn't know what he's saying and does not know about the president.
'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 - like just ending 5 Wars, including a 31 year bloodbath between Republic of the Congo and Rwanda, where Seven Million people have died, and there was no end in sight,' Trump added.
'He didn't know that, or India and Pakistan or, wiping out Iran's nuclear capabilities, or closing the horrendous open Border, or creating the greatest economy, where prices and Inflation have come way down, and where STUPID and CORRUPT JOE BIDEN set the record for doing the Worst Job as President, EVER.'
During the nearly 30 minute interview with Lara, Charlamagne said Americans are disappointed they are not getting the 'day one change' Trump promised during his campaign.
'Right now people are hurting! He campaigned on immediate change. Day one change,' he told her.
Lara then asked: 'And you don't think you've felt any change?'
He went on to call Charlamagne a 'Low IQ individual' who doesn't know what he's saying and does not know about the president
'No,' Charlamagne replied bluntly.
She then went on to ask him specifically about his feelings on border security and Iran.
'Do you feel safer knowing that Iran will not have the ability to develop a nuclear weapon?,' she asked.
'Sure. If you're telling me that a county won't have the ability to build a nuclear weapon,' Charlamagne responded.
When asked if he feels 'better' that American borders are closed, Charlamagne said he does, but he wants to see actual 'criminals and illegal immigrants' being deported, 'Not people who are here trying to go through the process of being in this country legally.'
'When you see people actually getting deported and getting detained and they're actually trying to go through a process of being American citizens, that's not right,' he continued.
Although he voted for Harris in the 2024 election, Charlmagne is no stranger to lashing out against Democrats.
'When you look at Democrats' approval rating in this country, when you look at Republicans' approval rating in this county, you see that America's just fed up with it all,' he told the Fox News host.
'Like, Democrats suck. We know that already though. You know what I mean? So it's like…I knew that Trump would probably get in office again and fumble.
'But I also knew that Democrats wouldn't have the team put together properly to recover the ball. So what you're seeing right now from the American people is just a backlash to everything. People want something different.'
Lara then asked if he thought the former vice president was the 'best representative' for Democrats in the recent election.
'Yes. If you look right now, she's looking pretty, pretty good because a lot of the things that she said President Trump would do, he actually did,' he answered.
'I did a segment on the Daily Show after he became president, and I was like, "Prove people wrong. Everything that everybody is saying about you, everything that they say you're going to do, all you gotta do is simply not do." But he did it anyway.'

Justin Bieber's son Jack Blues makes his music video debut for Yukon as he bonds with parents in sweet footage
Justin and Hailey Bieber's baby boy Jack Blues is officially a rising star. The child, who was born in August 2024, has made his music video debut in his father's new track, Yukon. The idyllic, black-and-white video sees the new parents dote on their bundle of joy as they enjoy a sun-soaked boat trip. While the parents have yet to reveal their child's face to the public - and continue to creatively maintain his privacy in the video - they do show off his adorable baby teeth. In the video, the Baby singer, 31, is shown bonding with his child during a blissful family getaway. He showers his son with kisses as they lounge on the luxurious boat together. Hailey, 28, nuzzles Justin's bare shoulder as their infant son waddles beside their father in another sweet moment. They stop at a secluded cove, where Hailey splashes in the water with Jack in her arms. Justin and Hailey announced the arrival of Jack Blues, their first child together, in August 2024. 'WELCOME HOME JACK BLUES BIEBER,' Justin captioned a post announcing his son's arrival. The new parents tied the knot in a New York City courthouse in 2018 followed by a more lavish ceremony the following year. But the couple have been plagued by rumours of marriage trouble in recent months, with the singer sparking concerns among fans with his behaviour. While Hailey had been seen in public without her wedding ring last month, the couple appeared to be on affectionate terms when they were seen earlier this month in Switzerland. In a move certainly intended to quiet the chatter, Hailey also shows off her massive diamond engagement ring in the sweet music video. And speaking to Vogue Italia as their August 2025 cover girl, Hailey appeared to quash the rumours of a rift as she gushed over Justin being an 'extraordinary' father, 'a natural', and 'seeing her as a goddess, a superhero'. Hailey also opened up about her pregnancy with Jack, revealing it was unexpected. 'The pregnancy was hard for me to accept, it was a surprise and you have to deal with so many emotions,' she told the outlet. 'You realise that your life will never be the same again, yes, it changes in a positive way, but it will never be the same again. It was a huge challenge for me, mentally,' she added. Despite this, Hailey said that everything ends up coming together eventually and it acted as a huge teaching lesson for her as a person - and her marriage. 'Suddenly, your partner sees you as a goddess, a superhero... Or at least, that's how it was for me,' she said. Justin's bad behaviour has manifested in recent months in the form of arguing with Hailey online, acting erratically and clashing with paparazzi, a source told Page Six. The material on the latest album, which Justin released July 11, included a trio of comedy skits with comic Druski. One of the bits dubbed 'Therapy session,' in which Druski portrays a counsellor, Justin touches on the complications of living life in the limelight. 'That's been a tough thing for me recently - feeling like I have had to go through a lot of my struggles as a human, as all of us do, really publicly. 'And so people are always asking if I'm OK - and that starts to really weigh on me.' Bieber busts a move on the vessel Justin said that the attention makes him feel like he's 'the one with the issues and everyone else is perfect.' The singer sold rights to his catalogue for $200million in 2023, the Los Angeles Times reported recently. His most recent studio album prior to Swag was Justice in 2021. The album garnered critical acclaim and spawned successful commercial tracks such as Peaches, a Billboard Hot 200 chart-topper; and the top 10 hits Holy, Anyone and Ghost. In February 2023, Justin officially cancelled the remainder of his Justice World Tour after the singer said he was diagnosed with the condition Ramsay Hunt syndrome, which can lead to facial paralysis.

Top Dem was singing Michelle Obama's praises just an hour before dismissing her on Fox News
Top Democrat Stephen A. Smith praised former First Lady Michelle Obama just one hour before he slammed her on Fox News. The ESPN star sat down with NewsNation's Chris Cuomo on Monday night when he addressed the former first lady's recent comments comparing the sports network to reality television. Smith insisted there is 'no kerfuffle' between him and Obama, as he begun singing her praises. 'She's my - she'll always be my first lady. She's the greatest first lady in American history as far as I'm concerned. I absolutely revere her,' the 57-year-old First Take star said. He then went on to question 'how legitimate of a sports fan her husband [former President Barack Obama ] is' and claimed that maybe it was 'all Barack Obama's fault because he's too smooth.' '...I mean, this brother is so smooth he's just sitting back all cool and everything while he's watching his Chicago Bulls win championships when [Michael] Jordan was there and lose every time he hasn't been there,' Smith continued. But he did not that he was 'offended as a black man when [Michelle Obama] was campaigning for Kamala Harris' and 'said that a vote for ... Trump would be a vote against us as women. 'I understand where she was coming from and obviously I voted for Kamala Harris. But my point is... everybody's got their one salient issue that they point to when it comes to voting. 'I never forgot that she said that, nor did I forget, nor appreciated how Obama was talking to black individuals in Pittsburgh when he said that to the young black men there,' Smith noted. He argued that black men 'believe that women are highly, highly capable, better than us, smarter than us, you know, more composed than us in a lot of different situations. 'So I'm like, "Where are you getting that from?"' Smith then concluded his remarks by saying he thought it was 'important to bring that up' because even though he 'didn't like that coming out of their mouths,' it was 'the only thing that I have ever disliked about Michelle Obama, because I think she's wonderful.' But just one hour later, in an interview with Fox's Sean Hannity on Monday night, Smith suggested that the former First Lady's comments comparing ESPN to the Real Housewives of Atlanta proves she leaves sports 'to her husband.' He then said: 'You can say Stephen A. Smith is lot of things and will be a lot of things. The one thing you can never say about me is that I'm going to be a housewife.' 'She was comparing reality TV to sports TV from the standpoint of watching us go at one another,' Smith began. 'Well first of all, there's no relationship because these are some of the greatest athletes on the planet earth that play professional sports - that's who we're talking about as opposed to reality TV stars that can barely act. 'Number two, when you look at what she's talking about, you also have to take into consideration that she doesn't really pay much attention to sports - evidently she leaves that to her husband. 'And when she talked about First Take, she talked us arguing with one another, hating on one another. We have a lot of love for one another on "First Take". 'We get along just fine, we have a blast - laughing, joking, having a ball, yelling at each other about sports sometimes. We're monotone in our delivery but we have a lot of fun on First Take. That's why we've been number one for 13 consecutive years - and counting. 'Number three, let me say this to the other people that were on the table with her. You can say Stephen A. Smith is lot of things and will be a lot of things. The one thing you can never say about me is that I'm going to be a housewife. There's no confusion there. Zero.' The former first lady had sparked the war of words in a recent episode of her IMO podcast. 'If I listen to ESPN for an hour, it's like watching the "Real Housewives of Atlanta,"' the former First Lady said. 'It's the same drama, and they're yelling at each other, and they don't get along, you know? I mean, Stephen A. Smith, he's just like every other talk show host.' It was then jokingly put to Obama that Smith would be a 'great Real Housewife'. The popular reality franchise details the lives of well-off women from different regions. After her comments went viral, Obama was taken to task by Smith on his YouTube show. The ESPN star urged her to invite more 'dissenting opinions' on IMO and said he was still 'salty' over Obama's comments on Trump.

Greg Abbott might just have given Democrats eyeing 2028 the ‘knife fight' they needed
The Texas redistricting fight could end up being the first test of mettle for Democrats eyeing a 2028 play for the White House. With Greg Abbott, the state's Republican governor, directing lawmakers to gerrymander up to five congressional seats to add to the GOP's total, Democrats suddenly find themselves flush with political opportunity. For months, polling has shown that Democratic voters want their representatives to take on louder roles in opposition to Donald Trump. Survey after survey has shown the frustration the party's base harbors for members of leadership, frustration which boiled into rare public view earlier this year during an intra-party spat over a potential government shutdown. Now, Texas is giving Democratic governors, at the very least, an opportunity to give the voters what they want. That's why those same governors — the ones with Democratic state legislatures to back them up, that is — are lining up to threaten their own mid-decade redistricting efforts. And the list reads like a who's who of expected presidential contenders. In Illinois, New York, New Jersey and California, four of the Democratic Party's most prominent national leaders were fired up in their responses to questions this week about redistricting and their individual responses to the Texas plan to add as many as five GOP-leaning congressional seats. Adamantly backing them up was Ken Martin, the party chair who is on his own personal crusade to rebrand the Democrats' national image after the bruising 2024 cycle. 'We're not here to tie one of our hands behind our back,' Martin said in an interview with a Portland, Oregon news outlet. 'In the past, I think our party would bring a pencil to a knife fight. We're going to bring a gun to a knife fight.' He was even more explicit at a press conference with Democratic lawmakers who fled Texas to prevent the redistricting from taking place, telling reporters: "Now is not the time for one party to play by the rules while the other party has completely ignored it. They've decided to cheat, and we're going to respond in kind." The governors vowing to match any partisan redistricting committed by Texas Republicans offered similar analogies. The strongest response came from California's Gavin Newsom, who recently visited South Carolina as it is heavily speculated that he is considering a national campaign. He vowed that his state would fight 'fire with fire' and trigger its own redistricting process were Abbott to move forward in Texas. New York's Kathy Hochul, meanwhile, told reporters that she would push for ending the state's independent redistricting commission, explaining that she would no longer fight with her hand 'tied behind my back.' 'We're sick and tired of being pushed around when other states don't have the same aspirations that we always have,' the New York governor said on Monday. 'I cannot ignore that the playing field has changed dramatically, and shame on us if we ignore that fact and cling tight to the vestiges of the past. 'That era is over — Donald Trump eliminated it forever.' In Illinois, Gov. J.B. Pritzker, who is publicly harboring the escapee Democratic lawmakers from Texas, demurred on the prospect, though his office confirmed to Axios that he won't rule out his own reciprocal efforts: "Here in the state of Illinois, it is possible to redistrict -- it's not something that I want to do,' he said on Tuesday. Maryland's Wes Moore, another rising star in the party, issued a similar statement through a spokesperson on Tuesday; 'all options' are on the table. The Democratic leader of the state's House of Delegates just introduced legislation that would allow Maryland to pursue redistricting if another state did so mid-decade. In New Jersey, Gov. Phil Murphy is prevented from pushing for state lawmakers to begin their own redistricting efforts under the state's constitution. But Murphy told reporters on Monday that the issue was to be a talking point in conversations with other Democratic governors. 'I suspect as the Democratic governors get together for a drink or a coffee, this will be high on the agenda,' he said, according to The New Jersey Globe. While Democrats are likely limited in the number of states where they could mount their own bids to boost congressional representation for their party, the sheer size and density of California and New York could give them an edge. In general, the issue is providing the party the 'knife fight' it was looking for. With three Texas lawmakers risking arrest by fleeing the state to break a quorum in the legislature, Democratic voters are seeing the first hints of effective, unified Democratic resistance to the second Trump era coalesce across the country. It still remains to be seen if Texas Republicans will even be successful in their push. Assuming the GOP isn't scared off by threats from Democrats, court challenges could still prevent the state's new maps from going into effect next year — or at all. Abbott, however, seems to have ignited a spark within the Democratic Party. Even Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries was vowing that his party would respond from 'coast-to-coast' to prevent his caucus from losing up to five of its members in Texas, or at the minimum respond in kind. As the Democrats' leader in the House, Jeffries' own political future is tied to his ability to protect his members and repair a somewhat fractured party leadership as he braces for a wave of primary contests in 2026. On Monday, the Democratic minority leader vowed: 'We're going to respond and respond forcefully.' 'What is going on in Texas right now in terms of this second attempt to gerrymander the map we believe violates the Voting Rights Act,' Jeffries said during a CNN interview. 'You will not see that happen in Democratic states, but you will see governors and state legislatures and, of course, Members of the House Democratic Caucus respond in kind. There is no unilateral disarmament when we're in the middle of an all-out assault by Donald Trump.'
