Trump Criticizes Charlamagne Tha God Over GOP Epstein Coup Claims

President Donald Trump sharply criticized radio host Charlamagne Tha God after Charlamagne appeared on Lara Trump's Fox News show and suggested that the Epstein scandal could enable traditional conservatives to regain control of the Republican Party from the MAGA base. Trump called Charlamagne a "low IQ individual" and "racist sleazebag" on social media, disputing Charlamagne's views and defending his own record. Charlamagne responded by mocking Trump's insults and emphasized that the Epstein issue has energized the base and could facilitate a political shift within the GOP. The discussion highlighted an ongoing internal conflict within the Republican Party, with Charlamagne predicting a "political coup" led by traditional conservatives using the Epstein controversy as leverage. Lara Trump's show provided a rare platform for this critical perspective on Trump, which has been largely absent from Fox News coverage despite recent reporting on Trump’s Epstein ties. This exchange reflects the broader tensions between MAGA loyalists and establishment conservatives amid the fallout from the Epstein investigation and Trump's presidency.
