Trump fires back at ‘sleazebag' Charlamagne tha God after Epstein comments
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.

Ex-Trump Adviser Bolton Says Putin Meeting Brings Back Memories of Taliban Camp David Talks
John Bolton has voiced his criticism over the announcement of a meeting between President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, scheduled to take place in Alaska. What Happened: President Trump's announcement of the meeting, which was made on the social media platform Truth Social, has drawn attention and criticism, including from Bolton. He expressed his disapproval during a recent interview with CNN. The meeting between President Trump and President Putin is set to occur on Friday, August 15, 2025. 'The highly anticipated meeting between myself, as President of the United States of America, and President Vladimir Putin, of Russia, will take place next Friday, August 15, 2025, in the Great State of Alaska,' Trump wrote in the post. Bolton, who served as President Trump's national security advisor during his first term, likened the upcoming meeting to Trump's contentious invitation of the Taliban to Camp David. Bolton said, 'This is not quite as bad as Trump inviting the Taliban to Camp David to talk about the peace negotiations in Afghanistan, but it certainly reminds one of that.' Also Read: Trump Says He Could Influence Putin To Free Kidnapped Ukrainian Children: 'It's Pretty Tough Stuff, But I Believe I Could Do That' He further characterized the meeting as a 'great victory for Putin,' describing the Russian leader as a 'rogue leader of a pariah state.' 'The only better place for Putin than Alaska would be if the summit were being held in Moscow. So, the initial setup, I think, is a great victory for Putin. He's a rogue leader of a pariah state and he's going to be welcomed into the United States,' he further said. Why It Matters: Bolton's criticism of the announced meeting underscores the ongoing controversy surrounding President Trump's foreign policy decisions. The comparison to the contentious invitation of the Taliban to Camp David highlights the potential implications of this meeting. Bolton's comments suggest that the meeting could be perceived as a win for Putin, further complicating the already strained U.S.-Russia relations. The reaction to this meeting, particularly from those within Trump's own administration, will be a key factor to watch in the lead-up to the scheduled date.

Dan Rather's Facebook Post About Normalizing Donald Trump Is Going Viral
I'm sure most people, millennial-aged and up, know who Dan Rather is. In case you don't, Dan Rather is a renowned journalist who worked at CBS for 44 years. He spent 24 of those years as the anchor of CBS Evening News. Now, at 93, he has a Substack and a surprisingly active social media presence. He's always going viral on Facebook for his takes on Trump and his administration. You might remember this one about Harvey Milk? Well, his new one is getting some traction: This post is really hitting hard with our much-loved MSNBC parent demographic. "Are there enough hours in the day?" someone asked. "That's a full time job!" someone else commented. And this person gave a simple: "Rinse and repeat."

Trump: DC will ‘soon be one of the safest' cities
President Trump on Saturday touted his administration's moves to address violence and crime in the nation's capital, teasing that soon it would be 'one of the safest' cities in the U.S. Trump, in a post on Truth Social, said the administration would provide an update on Monday, after the president ordered federal law enforcement officials to patrol the streets in Washington over the next week. 'On Monday a Press Conference will be held at the White House which will, essentially, stop violent crime in Washington, D.C.,' he wrote. 'It has become one of the most dangerous cities anywhere in the World.' He added, 'It will soon be one of the safest!!!' The effort has been led by the U.S. Park Police and includes officers and agents from the FBI, Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), divisions of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and other agencies, according to the White House. Friday marked the second day of the patrol and Trump added officers from the U.S. Secret Service and U.S. Marshals Service to the fray. Over 120 officers were assigned to high-traffic areas and will be highly visible and marked, a White House official said. On the first night, according to the official, arrests were made for possession of stolen firearms and illegal drugs. Trump has previously floated a federal overhaul of the city, which would require Congressional approval. Earlier this year, he signed an executive order to make Washington 'safe and beautiful.' At the time he said Mayor Muriel Bowser was doing a good job, but warned that if things changed, the federal government would have no other choice but to step in. The latest threats of a takeover come after a former Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) official, known as ' Big Balls,' was attacked in the city by a group of teenagers. Two 15-year-olds were arrested in connection to the incident and charged for the attempted carjacking. The president has pushed the city council to upgrade its laws to allow teens 14 and older to be tried as adults. U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro has also supported the idea. 'They are not afraid of Law Enforcement because they know nothing ever happens to them, but it's going to happen now!' Trump posted Tuesday on Truth Social, with a graphic photo. 'The Law in D.C. must be changed to prosecute these 'minors' as adults, and lock them up for a long time, starting at age 14.' He said, 'The most recent victim was beaten mercilessly by local thugs.' White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller also compared crime in the nation's capital to foreign war zones on Thursday, calling Washington 'more violent than Baghdad.' Crime in the district, however, hit a 30-year low last year.
