Radio host Charlamagne Tha God warned President Donald Trump on Monday that people would celebrate his death “like Mardi Gras in New Orleans” after his post about the death of former FBI Director Robert Mueller.
“The Breakfast Club” co-host reacted to Trump's controversial Truth Social post after learning of Mueller's death on Saturday.
“Well, I'm glad he's dead. He can't hurt innocent people anymore!” Trump wrote.
Charlamagne accused Trump of hypocrisy after cracking down on foreign nationals who openly celebrated the death of Charlie Kirk in September and predicted the president's tenure could further tarnish his legacy.

“I mean, you've already ruined yours because, you know, you're going to be considered the worst president of all time because you don't give a damn about democracy, wiping your ass on the Constitution and being on track to lead this country into the worst financial crisis ever,” Charlamagne said. “But you're also putting yourself in a position where when you pass away, people will treat it like the Mardi Gras of New Orleans.”
He continued: “The celebrations people are going to have, the things people are going to say about you when you pass away. Mr. President, I don't care how many buildings you put your name on, bridges, tunnels, you can create holidays. None of that will matter because you've hurt too many people. And most importantly, you get back the energy you spent. Do you care? Do you care what Barron sees of you after you die? Do you care what Melania sees of you after you die?” What about your grandchildren?”

In a comment to Fox News Digital, White House spokesman Davis R. Ingle pointed to a Truth Social post by Trump in August in which he called Charlamagne a “sleazy racist” and “low-IQ individual.”

“He is an individual with a low IQ, has no idea what words are coming out of his mouth and knows nothing about me or what I have done, such as simply ending five wars, including a 31-year bloodbath between the Republic of Congo and Rwanda, where seven million people have died and there was no end in sight. He did not know that, nor India and Pakistan, nor eliminate Iran's nuclear capabilities, nor close the horrendous open border, nor create the largest economy, where prices and inflation have gone down a lot, and where STUPID and CORRUPT JOE BIDEN set the record for doing the worst job as president in history,” Trump wrote.
Mueller led the FBI from 2001 to 2013 and later served as special counsel investigating Russian interference in the 2016 election, an investigation that overshadowed much of Trump's first term.
