Trump calls radio host 'racist sleazebag' after criticism on Lara Trump's show

The radio host suggested that President Trump's loyal supporters might shift their allegiance to a more conventional conservative candidate following the Epstein Files controversy. President Trump criticized radio host Charlamagne tha God on Truth Social, calling him a "racist sleazebag" and a "Low IQ individual." This came after Charlamagne speculated on Lara Trump's show that traditional Republicans could win over the MAGA base due to their dissatisfaction with Trump.

Charlamagne's comments referred to the fallout between Trump and some of his supporters over the Epstein Files, which Trump had promised to release but later confirmed there was no "client list." Some MAGA backers criticized Trump for not fulfilling this promise, leading to speculation and conspiracy theories about high-profile individuals' involvement with Epstein. Trump denied any wrongdoing and sued a publication for libel over reports of a birthday letter to Epstein.

The situation has created an opportunity for traditional conservatives like Nikki Haley to appeal to MAGA voters, according to Charlamagne. He believes that this issue has energized the base and could allow traditional conservatives to regain control of the Republican Party without alienating MAGA supporters.
