Following a press conference that appears destined for infamy, Donald Trump seemed to suggest the notion that injections of “chemicals” might be able to cure the coronavirus. It didn’t take long for both incredulity and alarm to settle in, especially given the likelihood that at least one fearful person will take Trump’s word as gospel and actually harm themselves in the process. Naturally, Charlamagne Tha God took a moment to bestow the President with the world’s most dubious honor, the title of Donkey Of The Day. 

“Have you ever seen the movie Idiocracy?” ponders Charlamagne, before providing a succinct summary of the cult classic. “Ladies and gentlemen, I’m saying all that to say that we are here. Based off all the opression and marginalization American has put certain citizens through, it is getting the President it deserves. Well, I don’t know if that’s the case, but American is getting the President it voted for. Oh, yes it did.”

“And yesterday during a press conference covering the disinfectants that can kill coronavirus on surfaces and in the air, President Trump pondered whether those chemicals could be used to fight the virus inside the human body,” he explains, before queening up audio from Trump’s press conference. “Alright Maga,” begins Tha God, challenging Trump’s loyal base. “What you going to use? Mr. Clean? Lysol? Clorox? This man is about to have half his base kill themselves because they are the only ones dumb enough to try this stupid-ass remedy.”

“Who will be the first to inject bleach and DIE?” ponders Charlamagne. “D-I-E, and D-Y-E! Who?!” He proceeds to outline his own stance on peddling experimental treatments, which is to say, you first. “Stick your neck out king. You are a leader, and leaders lead by action and example. Don’t tell people injecting disinfectants will kill coronavirus! Show us! Do it yourself. Or better yet, do it to one of your kids. One of your grandkids. Somebody you love. But Mr. President, you probably won’t though, cause you don’t love anybody but yourself. And you would never harm yourself because you don’t take responsibility for anything.”

It should be noted that Lysol’s creator has since come out to urge the masses not to inject the disinfectant into their bodies. Check out the full Donkey Of The Day segment below, and sound off — who else can lay down the law on the Donkeys of society like Charlamagne Tha God?

Much like the kick of an actual donkey, Charlamagne Tha God’s dubious honor “Donkey Of The Day” retains the simple principle that anybody can get it. It doesn’t matter if one has Ellen DeGeneres wealth at one’s disposal — the Donkey does not discriminate. Today, The Breakfast Club host decided to slap YBN Almighty Jay with the unfortunate title following the young rapper’s dismissal of social distancing practices and overall attitude toward the virus.

It all started after Breakfast Club highlighted Almighty Jay’s recent TMZ interview, in which he admitted that he wasn’t taking the virus seriously, nor was he following social distancing guidelines– in fact, he has been openly inviting women to his house with little to no mind to caution. After The Breakfast Club ridiculed the young rapper’s lack of sound judgment, Almighty Jay caught feelings and clapped back at the radio hosts with an incendiary Instagram tirade against them.

Unfortunately for him, he underestimated the impact of Charlamagne’s biggest weapon — the DONKEY. “The reason YBN Almighty Jay is getting Donkey Of The Day is that he just wants attention,” declares Tha God. “He’s sitting in his house on quarantine, and he’s happy he got mentioned on The Breakfast Club. If you didn’t like what we said, fine, you have the right to respond. But you posted a clip of The Breakfast Club talking to Boosie, and you edited the clip to make it seem like we had something to say about you being an anti-social distancer, but didn’t reply to Boosie.”

Charlamagne proceeds to debunk the narrative, proving that the discussion didn’t exactly transpire as Jay presented it. “You edited it to make yourself look good, even though you know we pushed back on Boosie being an anti-social distancer,” explains Charla. “Come on Almighty Jay, you knew that young man! But you wanted to manipulate your followers. You wanted to show your followers The Breakfast Club is talking about you, so you had to act fake mad and edit a Boosie story to create a story. You are acting like the media you claim to be mad at — this is clickbait. This is Donald Trump, 6ix9ine level trolling.”

It goes without saying that these are some trying times we live in, with quarantine-induced cabin-fever reaching an unprecedented high for both celebrities and us regular folk alike. Of course, with one major distinction being that the former tend to be holed up in actual mansions, many of which feature more square feet than three houses combined.

Still, cabin-fever does not discriminate, and the iconic television host Ellen Degeneres recently found herself likening her own quarantine period to a stay in prison. Her words caught the attention of Charlamagne Tha God, who took issue with the flippant disregard Ellen showcased toward an issue he holds dear to his heart. As such, he went on to bestow her with the dubious honor of Donkey Of The Day, prefacing that while she is not a stupid person, her “blindspot” toward this particular subject ultimately left her coming off as such.

“Very important note,” begins Charla. “Ellen lives in a mansion that’s over eight thousand square feet, sits on 8.24 acres of land, it has five bedrooms, a cabana that doubles as a gym, a two-bedroom guest house, and a salt-pebble infinity pool that overlooks the ocean. And it cost her twenty-seven million to buy. I’m not mad at her! She has a skillset and a talent that has enabled her to live like that and secure the bag. I’m not one of those people who knock people for their accomplishments.”

“I’m giving Ellen Degeneres Donkey Of The Day cause Ellen Degeneres insisted that her mansion is like a prison,” he continues, before playing a clip from Ellen’s self-taped quarantine episode. “In light of what’s going on in prisons and jails around the country in this global pandemic called COVID-19, Ellen Degeneres sounds tone-deaf as hell.” He proceeds to ask Ellen to use her massive platform to help shed a light on some of the issues prisoners are currently facing, playing a disturbing clip shared by inmate Aron Campbell highlighting the rampant spread across his low-security facility.

Two unlikely foes who had a brief beef last year were Lakeith Stanfield and Charlamagne Tha God. In November, Lakeith voiced his frustrations with black media outlets that he considered to be “anti-black” because of what and how they report. Charlamagne would later make Lakeith “Donkey of the Day” on The Breakfast Club, and some believed that Lakeith dissed Charlamagne in a song he released. The exchange was over as quickly as it began, and Lakeith recently shared that he has no gripes with the radio host.

“Nah, we ain’t spoken. It ain’t really no problem,” said Lakeith in an interview with Angie Martinez. “I just say what I feel and sometimes people feel different and they got they opinions and platforms just like I got mine. And sometimes they diverge and go in different places but it’d be silly to have a problem.” Angie wanted to know how they can reconcile their differences.

“I don’t really know what there is to mend, I’m good,” Lakeith said with a laugh. “If he got some kind of issue, tell him that we can talk together and we’ll figure that out, but other than that, I ain’t got no issues whatsoever. Don’t even make sense to have issues about that. We both want the same thing. We just want each other to be great and we want all black people to be great and fill the space. I think that’s what’s trying to come out but sometimes it comes out in messed up ways.”

Angie mentioned that some things are often lost in translation because of social media. Lakeith added, “We also gotta have integrity on how we’re reporting and how we frame things. Have responsibility for like, the honesty and truth and integrity in things. Or, we can be sloppy. You got the decision to make on your platform.”
