Charlamagne Tha God torched President Donald Trump for cheering over the death of former FBI Director Robert Mueller.
Just moments after reports of Mueller’s death surfaced, Trump wrote in a Truth Social post on Friday he was “glad” that Mueller, who oversaw the investigation into ties between Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign and Russia, died.

His reasoning? Because he “can no longer hurt innocent people.”
Mueller’s family announced his death on March 13. He was 81 years old. The former FBI director was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 2021.
The president’s insensitive, celebratory remarks were widely condemned.
On Monday’s episode of “The Breakfast Club,” Charlamagne Tha God called out Trump for praising Mueller’s death while also condemning critics who celebrated the death of slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
Crowning Trump “donkey of the day,” the radio host directly told Trump he has “already ruined” his legacy, and will “go down as the worst president of all time” for not giving “a damn about democracy” and “wiping his ass with the Constitution.”

Decrying the president is “on pace to lead this country into the worst financial crisis of all time,” Charlamagne continued, “You are also putting yourself into a position that when you pass, people are going to treat it like Mardi Gras in New Orleans.”

“The celebrations folks are going to have, the things people are going to say about you when you pass, Mr. President– I don’t care about how many buildings you put your name on, bridges, tunnels, they can create holidays. None of that will matter because you have hurt way too many people,” he said.

Charlamagne Tha God, born Lenard Larry McKelvey, went on to question if Trump cares that his son Barron Trump, wife Melania Trump and his grandkids will have to witness the harsh words from the president’s critics after he dies.
The radio host then blasted news outlets like CNN for reporting on polls that “feed Trump’s ego.”
“It’s people around him like that [who are] telling him everything he does is great, so much so that he’s probably not even aware of the parade people are going to throw when he passes away,” he continued. “If you think Donald Trump’s tasteless tweet towards Robert Mueller was something, wait until you see social media when Trump passes.”
Warning Trump “the energy that you put out comes back to you,” he told the president he is “teaching people how to treat you by how you treat others.”

“And we as a society shouldn’t let any of this become so normalized that we don’t take the time to simply say it’s wrong,” Charlamagne Tha God added.
