The left is furious!
Radio host ‘Charlamagne Tha God’ recently labeled President Joe Biden as his “Donkey of the Day” for an incident during a 9/11 commemoration ceremony in Pennsylvania. On his popular show “The Breakfast Club,” Charlamagne criticized Biden for donning a “Make America Great Again” hat, an action that he felt was out of touch and undermined Biden’s own rhetoric.
“Donkey of the Day for September 12th goes to President Joe Biden,” Charlamagne announced, highlighting the incongruity of the President’s actions. He argued that Biden’s choice to wear Trump’s signature hat was a poor decision, saying it proved that “you’ve got to keep Joe Biden in the basement.”
During the 9/11 event, Biden had a friendly exchange with a Trump supporter, leading to a hat swap between the two. While Biden’s act was intended as a gesture of bipartisan unity, it quickly drew criticism. Charlamagne questioned why Biden, who often labels Trump as a threat to democracy, would sport a hat supporting Trump’s 2024 campaign.
The Trump campaign quickly seized on the opportunity, thanking Biden humorously for his unintended endorsement. The White House defended Biden’s action as a display of bipartisan spirit. White House press aide Andrew Bates commented on social media, explaining that Biden briefly wore the hat as a gesture of unity after a light-hearted conversation with the Trump supporter.
Charlamagne, however, took issue with this explanation, suggesting that Biden should be more mindful of the political context. He argued that while bipartisanship is important, it should not come at the expense of undermining one’s own political position, especially when facing a formidable opponent like Trump. He added, “This isn’t the Republican Party of the past—it’s MAGA now.”
In a humorous twist, Charlamagne speculated that Biden might have mistakenly thought MAGA stood for “Make America Geriatric Again,” poking fun at the President’s age and the current political climate.
