Trump fires back at ‘sleazebag’ Charlamagne Tha God after Epstein comments

UNITED STATES, AUG 4 – Trump called Charlamagne tha God a "racist sleazebag" and criticized his Epstein files comments, while a CBS News poll found only 11% of Republicans see Epstein issue as very important.

  • On August 2, Charlamagne tha God appeared on Lara Trump’s Fox News program and expressed his belief that established conservative factions might reclaim control of the Republican Party by leveraging the controversy surrounding the Epstein files.
  • Charlamagne made this statement amidst ongoing tension over Jeffrey Epstein's 2019 death and the disputed release of related files, which Trump promised during his 2024 campaign but has since been criticized for lacking transparency.
  • President Trump responded early on August 3 by calling Charlamagne a "low IQ individual" and a "racist sleazebag," questioning his use of 'The God' in his name and denying knowledge of any wrongdoing related to Epstein.
  • Trump also emphasized his accomplishments, such as ending five wars and tackling inflation, while labeling some of Charlamagne's political views as misguided and accusing supporters of falling for a hoax concerning the Epstein files.
  • The clash highlights a widening rift within the GOP between MAGA loyalists and traditional conservatives, suggesting the Epstein controversy could influence the party’s future direction and leadership battles.
