Trump says JD Vance would be ‘probably favored' for 2028 Republican presidential nomination
Vice President JD Vance would be favored to secure the Republican nomination for president in 2028, President Donald Trump said Tuesday. Trump was at the South Court Auditorium where he signed an executive order to create a 2028 Los Angeles Olympics task force when senior Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy asked him if Vance was likely to become the face of the Make America Great Again movement after noting the president said he wouldn't be running for a third term. Advertisement 'You could clear the entire Republican field right now,' Doocy told Trump. 'Do you agree that the heir-apparent to MAGA is JD Vance?' In his answer, Trump noted that Secretary of State Marco Rubio could team up with Vance to create a formidable ticket. 'Well, I think most likely. In all fairness, he's the vice president, and I think Marco is also somebody that maybe would get together with JD in some form,' Trump replied. 'I also think we have incredible people, some of the people on the stage right here. So it's too early, obviously, to talk about it, but certainly he's doing a great job,' he added. 'And he would be probably favored at this point.' Advertisement 3 President Trump signed an executive order to create a 2028 Los Angeles Olympics task force on Tuesday.

Trump says Vance is "most likely" his heir apparent
President Trump said Tuesday he sees Vice President JD Vance as an early favorite to serve as his successor. A reporter asked Mr. Trump whether he sees Vance as the "heir apparent to MAGA." The president responded that Vance is "most likely" the leading contender. "It's too early, obviously, to talk about it. But certainly he's doing a great job, and he would be probably favored at this point," the president said during an unrelated executive order-signing ceremony. Mr. Trump also mentioned Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and suggested he's "somebody that maybe would get together with JD in some form." And he said the Republican Party has some other "incredible people." The president has singled out Rubio and Vance in the past, but has mostly avoided choosing a favorite. He praised both men in a May interview with NBC News' "Meet the Press" and said he didn't "want to get involved" in picking a leader, though he noted that the vice president would typically "have an advantage." Vance and Rubio are both seen as possible contenders for the 2028 GOP presidential nomination. The two were once vehement Trump critics — with Rubio running against Mr. Trump in the 2016 GOP primaries — but they have repositioned themselves as allies and defenders of the president since then. At least publicly, both men have been coy about their political ambitions. Late last month, Rubio downplayed the possibility of a presidential run in an interview on Fox News' "My View with Lara Trump," which is hosted by the president's daughter-in-law. Rubio said he thinks Vance "would be a great nominee if he decides he wants to do that," adding that he'd be satisfied if secretary of state ended up being "the apex of my career." Meanwhile, Vance told Fox News' "Fox and Friends" in April he isn't focused on 2028, adding: "When we get to that point, I'll talk to the president. We'll figure out what we want to do." Mr. Trump has also repeatedly toyed with the possibility of running for a third term — even though the Constitution forbids presidents from serving for more than two terms. Earlier Tuesday, he told CNBC's "Squawk Box" he "probably" won't run for another term.

Charlamagne responds to Trump's comments about his 'low-IQ'
Charlamagne tha God is responding after President Donald Trump called him a 'racist sleazebag' and 'low-IQ individual.' The morning radio host addressed the president's critique of him in a segment called "Donkey of the Day." The president made the remarks a day after the 'The Breakfast Club' host appeared on 'My View with Lara Trump'. 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. 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. "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.

Trump attacks Charlamagne Tha God after radio host criticizes his presidency
WASHINGTON -- President Donald Trump on Sunday lashed out at radio host Charlamagne Tha God, saying in a social media post that the popular broadcaster "knows nothing about me or what I have done.' Trump's comments came a day after Charlamagne, whose real name is Lenard McKelvey, criticized Trump on the Fox News show 'My View with Lara Trump.' The show is hosted by the president's daughter-in-law, a former co-chair of the Republican National Committee. Asked how he would rate Trump's presidency, the radio host said, 'I wouldn't give it a good rating simply because the least of us are still being impacted the worst.' Trump said on Truth Social that Charlamagne was a 'dope' who voted for Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris. Charlamagne said he personally will benefit from tax breaks approved in Trump's tax-and-spending law, but said, 'There's going to be so many people that's hurt by that bill.'' '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," he added. Charlamagne also predicted that 'traditional conservatives" are going to take back the Republican Party from Trump's Make America Great Again movement, citing controversy over Trump's refusal to release files related to disgraced financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. 'I think there's a political coup going on right now in the Republican Party that people aren't paying attention to,' Charlamagne said. 'I think 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 MAGA base isn't letting this issue go and for the first time they can probably take their party back and not piss off the MAGA base. I think they're going to do that.' The Epstein case has dominated news coverage in recent weeks after the Justice Department said it will not be releasing any additional documents from the Epstein sex trafficking investigation. The decision has infuriated online sleuths, conspiracy theorists and elements of Trump's base who had hoped to see proof of a government cover-up. Officials have said Epstein killed himself in his New York jail cell while awaiting trial in 2019, but his case has generated endless attention and conspiracy theories because of his links to famous people, including Trump and other billionaires. Trump on social media called Charlamagne a 'racist sleazebag' and criticized his use of God in his professional nickname. 'Can anyone imagine the uproar there would be if I used that nickname?' Trump asked. Charlamagne, who co-hosts a nationally syndicated radio show, 'The Breakfast Club," told Lara Trump that his criticism of the Republican president was not new, adding that he 'gave President Biden the same hell' when he didn't think the Democrat was doing a good job.
