Charlamagne Tha God AKA Lenard McKelvey, is a co-host of my favorite radio show, "The Breakfast Club." He is incredibly smart and thoughtful as well as hilarious. I don't agree with him on everything, but he always says what is on his mind and explains why he believes what he does. When Biden was still running for President, McKelvey continuously pointed out how it was a bad idea and held Biden's feet to the fire. With Trump in office, McKelvey has continued to criticize the President. I guess he struck a nerve, recently.
McKelvey was a guest on a Fox News program called, "My View with Lara Trump," recently. McKelvey will appear on liberal or conservative shows, and--as I said--speak his mind. When asked by Lara Trump (who is married to Eric Trump, hence the last name) how he thinks Trump's presidency is going, McKlevey offered a measured and accurate response. “I wouldn’t give it a good rating, simply because the least of us are still being impacted by the worst.” McKelvey went on to say those in a high tax bracket such as himself will benefit from Trump's policies but, “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 didn't insult Trump or anything, but gave an honest assessment of Trump's failings. Obviously, Trump got pissed.
Donald Trump went on his Truth Social platform to share how he felt McKelvey was a sleazebag, racist, had a low IQ, and otherwise ranted and raved about how awful McKelvey was. On the Monday edition of, "The Breakfast Club," McKelvey responded that he never said anything about race and had never even taken an IQ test. Plus, "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.” McKelvey went on to point out that Trump was using an, "Authoritative strategy," against people, as always. He continued, "With his reaction to what I said on Lara Trump shows how authoritarians will attempt to bully people into pushing false narratives." McKelvey finished a segment of his show discussing Trump by pointing out Trump needs to focus on the economy and making good on releasing the list of Epstein's clients he suddenly hates anyone bringing up. It was a funny little way to needle the President back.
When Donald Trump insults someone, that just proves their words had an impact on him. Lenard McKelvey should be proud that he pissed Trump off, because that means McKelvey is doing something right. McKelvey or his radio personality of Charlamagne Tha God, has never suffered fools. He's had liberals, conservatives, and everyone in between on his show. When someone has a good idea, he'll discuss that. When their ideas are terrible, he won't hesitate for a second to point it out. McKelvey is the kind of person a man like Trump hates, someone who thinks before they speak and is willing to consider evidence that might counter their own views in order to grow as a human. As long as McKelvey keeps doing his radio show and any other ventures (he writes some great books and did a comic, too), I'll be there to support him!
