Breakfast Club radio show co-host Charlamagne Tha God said Monday that former President Trump’s rhetoric of putting “America first” was a winning strategy.

Charlamagne discussed the message of both presidential candidates, particularly as America navigates crises at home and abroad. After a co-host played a clip featuring Tim Walz, Minnesota’s Democratic vice presidential candidate, Charlamagne highlighted a key way Democrats are being outflanked by their opponents.

“You know, a place where I think they mess up messaging?” Charlamagne asked. “You know, you’ll listen to a lot of reporters and they’ll talk to Trump or JD Vance and they’ll talk to them about things that are happening right here in America because it’s an election season right here in America.”

“So America always comes first. But then you go to Tim Walz and they ask him about geopolitics, and I think that often makes them sound very out of touch. “It makes them seem like they have no connection to what’s going on here in America,” he said.

When a co-host noted that these were the questions the candidates would be asked, Charlamagne agreed, saying that international issues “go beyond what’s happening right here in this country and if you look at the Vances’ and Trumps’ conversations.” “You hear, you know. When you talk about what’s happening here at home and when you say things like ‘America First’ and ‘Make America Great Again,’ sometimes that message has a lot more resonance.”

Then he corrected himself and said, “Not sometimes, it resonates a lot more.”

He then pointed out that as Americans grappled with natural disasters at home, they showed little tolerance for money transfers abroad.

On Saturday, Harris pledged $157 million in “additional aid” to Lebanon, which, she argued, “faces an increasingly dire humanitarian situation.”

“People were outraged. They said, ‘Yo, what about us here in North Carolina?’ So the ‘America First’ message goes much further, especially during an election season,” he said.

Last Thursday, Charlamagne, a Harris supporter, also praised the message in a Trump ad, which he called “influential” and “effective.”
