Radio host Charlamagne Tha God told a caller Thursday that “The Breakfast Club” would welcome former President Donald Trump for an interview.
While Trump has never appeared on the popular hip-hop show, Vice President Kamala Harris has previously participatedin multiple interviews on the platform, although she has not visited “The Breakfast Club” during her current press-aversecampaign. During a segment dubbed “Get It Off Your Chest,” a caller pressed the hosts about having Harris and Trump on the show, prompting Charlamagne and co-host DJ Envy to disclose that Trump’s “people have reached out.”

“We don’t have no problem having Trump here either. Trump, his people have reached out,” Charlamagne said, which Envy corroborated.
“Oh, they did? All right, bet. All right, well look, like I said, it’s 2024. Like I said, let’s go ahead and give them both an opportunity to come up there,” the caller responded, with Charlamagne agreeing, saying, “Absolutely. 100%.”
Charlamagne is a Harris supporter and has harshly criticized Trump, accusing the former president of having “created an environment of political violence that not even he is safe from” shortly after the first assassination attempt in July.
“You know what I realized with politics? You can’t win on either. Like, if you had Trump here, people would be upset. If you bring Kamala here, people would be upset,” co-host Loren LoRosa said. “You literally can’t win, so you just got to like stay in the middle and let people have conversations about what they’re going to do and mind your business about what you’re going to do.”
“Yeah, I think what people don’t realize, though, is that, you know, when you talk about people like Trump. 70 plus million people voted for him a couple of times, you know what I mean? So that’s a lot of folks,” Charalamagne responded. “So it’s like, it don’t matter. Like, you know, like you just said, you’re damned if you do, you’re damned if you don’t. So you going to have some people who gon’ be pleased about it, some people who not. All we can do is our job. And our job is to provide a platform for who wants it, especially if they running for president.”
Envy and LoRosa both expressed agreement with Charlamagne.
The Trump campaign did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.
