Radio host Charlamagne tha God said Tuesday that he suffers from “Trump Derangement Syndrome,” a popular term related to disliking former President Donald Trump to a nearly excessive degree.
“Let the record show, I totally agree with Robert De Niro,” Charlamagne said on Fox News’s Gutfeld! “I am one of those people that suffer from Trump Derangement Syndrome. I think he is a threat to democracy. I think that he led an attempted coup of this country, you know. He said he wanted to suspend the Constitution to overthrow the results of an election. At the least, that’s just not a patriotic thing to say.”
Charlamagne’s comment was referring to a Truth Social post that Trump made in December 2022 in which the former president reiterated his claim that the 2020 presidential election results were illegitimate and that this calls for the termination of all rules, “even those found in the Constitution.” Trump has denied calling for terminating the Constitution, calling it “more DISINFORMATION & LIES.”
Charlamagne also said he believes voters “deserve better from both parties.” The statement comes as the 2024 presidential election will likely end up being a rematch between Trump and President Joe Biden.
Despite his vocal opposition to Trump the rapper has rejected pressure to endorse Biden, saying he wanted to focus on problems facing the country rather than on a specific candidate.
