A Radio Host Told Trump That People Are Gonna Treat His Death "Like Mardi Gras"

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.


I'll enjoy a nice Moscow Mueller cocktail (vodka, ginger beer, lime) in memory.

And we might toast with a little champagne.

Neither of us drinks anything other than coffee and tea, mainly. Fresh orange juice, and a diet soda here and there, and that’s pretty much it. A glass of champagne is strictly for something monumental. But the passing of the donald might just measure up.

I didn't throw a party when nazi kirk died, but I laugh at jokes made at his expense because he was a vile, antisocial, specimen whose rhetoric posed a danger to many people.

But he got it right on how I'll treat this criminal's death.

Obliterate his name.
Use a substitute when referring him in history books or in conversation.

The holiday of Purim embodies something like that with the name of "H*man*. Celebrants use noisemakers and groggers to drown out the sound of his name - for that his the ultimate punishment... to be as if he never existed.

The word "trump" should be the ultimate profanity.
