Charlamagne Tha God Blesses Donald Trump With Donkey of The Day Following Truth Social Rant
Source: Getty Images / Charlamagne Tha God / Donald Trump We all knew it was coming. Charlamagne Tha God clapped back at Donald Trump by giving him 'Donkey of the Day.' It didn't take long, but on Monday, Charlamagne Tha God kicked off The Breakfast Club's work week by responding to Felon 47. Before he went in on Trump, he started off the Donkey of the Day segment by blasting YG's Donald Trump protest record 'FDT' before accusing the current occupant of the White House of using him and other ridiculous things to distract from important issues after Trump called the radio host a 'racist sleazebag.' We care about your data. See our privacy policy. The Breakfast Club host pointed out in his retort that he didn't bring up race once while he was blasting Trump's 'big beautiful bill,' which the radio host, born Lenard McKelvey, admitted he would benefit from because of his tax bracket, but notes will harm millions of Americans. Charlamagne also slammed Trump and Homeland Security for terrorizing, detaining, and deporting lawfully residing immigrants while contributing, and also his unjust firing of Labor Statistics Chief Erika McEntarfer after she just did her job, reported on the terrible job numbers. While everyone was happy to hear Charlamagne call out Trump again, some folks didn't appreciate him still 'both-siding' the conversation by bringing up Joe Biden in his takedown of Orange Mussolini. 'Here's my issue he was playing contrarian and both sides so hard that the orange man used him in one of his ads. He directly has blood on his hands so Lenard put himself & worse others into the current state of affairs,' a post on X, formerly Twitter. Fair. You can see more reactions below.

Charlamagne responds to Trump's comments on 'The Breakfast Club'
Lara Trump is the Republican National Committee co-chair and is married to the president's son, Eric Trump. Charlamagne tha God, whose real name is Lenard McKelvey, has become a key feature in pop culture and co-hosts the popular radio show. During the appearance on Saturday, Aug. 2, Lara Trump asked Charlamagne how he would rate Trump's second term so far. He responded: "I wouldn't give it a good rating, simply because the least of us are still being impacted by the worst." While admitting he's set to benefit from tax provisions in the president's tax-and-spending law, he said, "There's going to be so many people that's hurt by that bill." He added, "Anything that takes away Medicaid from people and will put people in a worse financial situation than they were previously in, I'm not for." The president later lashed out at Charlamagne in a Truth Social post on Sunday, Aug. 3. "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," wrote the president. 'I've never taken an IQ test': Charlamagne tha God responds to Trump Charlamagne spoke about the president's remarks on "The Breakfast Club" in his segment entitled "Donkey of the Day," shrugging off Trump's ire without much fuss. On Monday, Aug. 4, Charlamagne said, "I don't care. He called me a sleazebag. I looked up the definition of sleazebag, says it's 'a disgusting or despicable person.' Depending on who you ask, that may apply to me." He also said that the Trump administration is using an "authoritative strategy" against anyone who speaks out against it. He also went on to say, "With his reaction to what I said on Lara Trump shows how authoritarians will attempt to bully people into pushing false narratives. " He continued to make fun of the president's remarks, adding: "He said I'm 'a low-IQ individual.' I don't know, I've never taken an IQ test." As he closed out the segment, Charlamagne offered some advice to the commander-in-chief. Tips for Trump "I don't care who's in the White House," he said. "I want America to succeed. Believe it or not, I'm rooting for you, but I need you focused and right now, you're not focused. Ok?" "We need you focused on two things: the economy and Epstein. I need you to keep the promises of a great economy and the promises of transparency with the Epstein files." It is not out of the ordinary for him to criticize political figures, he told Lara Trump. When President Joe Biden was in office, he said he subjected the former president to "the same hell" when he disagreed with his actions. Michelle Del Rey is a trending news reporter at USA TODAY.

Charlamagne Dubs Schumer ‘Donkey of the Day' for Senate Vote
Radio host Charlamagne Tha God roasted Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer for breaking Democratic party ranks in a vote to advance the GOP-backed spending bill. In a Friday broadcast of The Breakfast Club podcast, Charlamagne declared Schumer 'Donkey of the Day' and laid into Democrats as the party of 'inaction.' 'That's the difference between Democrats and Republicans,' Charlamagne said. 'One party is about inaction, and one party is about all action—even if that action is harmful to the country.' The spending bill passed Friday evening with a 54-46 vote, averting a government shutdown but inciting a civil war among Democrats. A total of 37 Senate Democrats opposed the bill along with Republican Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky, who wanted the bill to codify cuts to foreign aide, Time reported. Schumer's support marked a change of tone after he declared the bill 'very bad' and said he would seek a 30-day extension to negotiate a bipartisan compromise. Explaining his change of heart, the top Democrat said a government shutdown would have consequences for America 'much, much worse.' 'There is a deep sense of outrage and betrayal,' said New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez following Schumer's announcement of support on Thursday. 'And this is not just about progressive Democrats, This is across the board—the entire party.' She added, 'I think it is a huge slap in the face.' House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, who opposed the bill, refused to answer questions about Schumer's support on Friday, The Hill reported. In response to Schumer's announcement, Charlamagne declared, 'It's time for the Chuck Schumers of the world, the Hakeem Jeffries's, they should all step down.' Charlamagne said that Democrats will 'always have a messaging problem because they have a leadership problem.' He added, 'In order to change the messaging, you got to change the people in the party.'
