Charlamagne made these remarks during an interview with lara Trump, President Trump&#8217;s daughter-in-law. Trump responded on social media, calling Charlamagne &#8220;a Low IQ individual&#8221; and questioning his political judgment, while touting his own administration&#8217;s accomplishments. The discussion stems from controversy within conservative circles about the Department of Justice&#8217;s conclusion that Epstein&#8217;s death was a suicide and that no <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >incriminating client list<\/a> was found-findings that angered many on the right. Trump has distanced himself from Epstein, noting he expelled Epstein from mar-a-Lago in the early 2000s and has called for the full release of Epstein-related files, as long as no harm comes to anyone.Additionally, Charlamagne mentioned potential GOP candidates, including Nikki Haley, and speculated about possible presidential runs by non-traditional figures like Jon Stewart.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Trump blasts Charlamagne tha God who said &lsquo;traditional conservatives&rsquo; could take back GOP over Epstein fallout<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2191374\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Donald Trump\">Donald Trump<\/a> lambasted Charlamagne tha God early Sunday after the radio host said he believes &ldquo;traditional conservatives&rdquo; could take back the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/republican-party\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Republican Party\">Republican Party<\/a> from the MAGA base over the administration&rsquo;s tumultuous <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/jeffrey-epstein\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Donald Trump\">Epstein<\/a> fallout with its own voters.<\/p>\n<p>Trump took to social media after Charlamagne&rsquo;s interview with Fox News host Lara Trump, the president&rsquo;s daughter-in-law, aired on Saturday.<\/p>\n<div class=\"recommended-stories\">\n<h2>Recommended Stories<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/presidential\/3488913\/kamala-harris-2028-challenges-white-house-run\/\">Kamala Harris faces steep challenges in possible third White House run<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/presidential\/3488303\/comeback-kamala-harris-2028-presidential-dreams\/\">Comeback Kamala?

In recent days, Trump reiterated that he kicked Epstein out of his Mar-a-Lago golf club in the early 2000s and claimed the sex trafficker <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/3485543\/trump-fall-out-jeffrey-epstein-poached-staffers-mar-a-lago-spa-virginia-giuffre\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"poached\">poached<\/a> his employees, including the now-deceased Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre.
