Charlamagne Tha God Melts Down Over Biden MAGA Hat Stunt
On Thursday, radio host Charlamagne Tha God criticized President Joe Biden for wearing a “Trump 2024” hat on Wednesday, arguing that it undermines his support for Vice President Kamala Harris.
Biden briefly wore the red hat to symbolize “bipartisan unity” during an event for first responders affected by the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, according to White House senior deputy press secretary Andrew Bates on X.
Charlamagne, on “The Breakfast Club,” labeled Biden as “Donkey of the Day,” contending that the hat could harm Harris’ campaign against Trump.
“A day after your vice president has a phenomenal debate against the former president of the United States of America, Donald Trump, you, Mr. President, decided to put on a hat that says ‘Trump 2024.’ Now, I’m not the highest grade of weed in the dispensary, but that doesn’t seem like a show of support for your vice president to me,” Charlamagne said. “This race is going to be tight, okay? This race can be swung by just the tiniest fraction of votes, which won’t fare well for the Democrats because Trump is going to challenge the results of the election. So, when you know you need that kind of turnout, why as the sitting president would you wear a hat in support of a person who is the op of your running mate? He is an op in regards to your administration. You, President Biden, you call him a threat to democracy. Okay, if he’s a threat to democracy, why are you wearing paraphernalia that supports him being president in 2024? You said you did it as a gesture of unity. You can’t call someone a threat to democracy and then wear their paraphernalia and want to be unified with them. Okay, nobody who opposed Nazis would ever wear something with a swastika on it.”

Charlemagne noted that a viral image of Biden wearing a hat would likely be used in advertising, highlighting how the Trump campaign thanked Biden for “the support” in an X post featuring the president’s photo.
Additionally, the radio host read another Trump campaign post that included a video of Biden in the hat, with the caption: “Kamala did so bad in last night’s debate, Joe Biden just put on a Trump hat.”
