President Donald Trump has criticized radio host Charlamagne, whose real name is Lenard McKelvey, following his remarks about the current presidency.

The exchange occurred on social media after Charlamagne's appearance on 'My View with Lara Trump,' where he assessed Trump's leadership negatively.

When asked to rate Trump's presidency, Charlamagne stated that it does not receive a high rating due to the adverse effects on the least privileged members of society.

This comment did not sit well with Trump, who responded by calling Charlamagne a 'racist sleazebag' and stating that he voted for Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris.

Charlamagne defended his criticism by mentioning the financial implications of Trump's tax-and-spending law, which includes tax breaks that may disproportionately benefit some over others.

He expressed concerns about how certain policies might negatively impact individuals reliant on Medicaid or facing worse financial conditions.

The radio host further predicted a shift within the Republican Party towards more traditional conservatism, potentially driven by ongoing issues surrounding Jeffrey Epstein and Trump's reluctance to release related documents.

Charlamagne suggested that this controversy might provide an opportunity for traditional conservatives to regain control of the party without alienating Trump's base.

This speculation comes amid a significant amount of attention given to the Epstein case due to unresolved questions regarding his death in custody and connections to influential figures, including Trump.

Trump responded to these allegations with frustration, noting the potential backlash if he used language similar to Charlamagne's.

The exchange highlights the ongoing tension between critics of the president's policies and his supporters.
