Another day, another deflecting rant from President Donald Trump. This time POTUS is calling out music Beyoncé and Oprah Winfrey for get this, publicly backing Vice President Kamala Harris.
For the record, what he is alleging is not a crime and never has been.
Also for the record, there is no proof that his allegations are even true.
But the president used his Truth Social platform over the weekend to accuse the two cultural powerhouses of accepting massive payments from the Democratic Party in exchange for endorsements, which he claimed should be grounds for legal action.
Trump wildly alleged that Beyoncé was paid nearly $11 million to support Harris, but said the investment was a misfire. “She never sang, not one note, and left the stage to a booing and angry audience,” Trump posted. He also claimed that Oprah received $3 million under the guise of “expenses” for her support.
But wait, half of the nation’s favorite President didn’t stop there. He named Reverend Al Sharpton as well, describing him as a “low-rated TV anchor” who was allegedly paid around $600,000 to rally behind Harris’ campaign.
Ha. Sharpton, now. Now, who’s next on the list? (Drake voice). Comical stuff, from POTUS not Drizzy.
“These ridiculous fees were incorrectly stated in the books and records,” Trump wrote. “You are not allowed to pay for an endorsement. It is totally illegal to do so. Can you imagine what would happen if politicians started paying for people to endorse them?” He ended the post with a bold accusation: “Kamala, and all of those that received endorsement money, broke the law. They should all be prosecuted!”
As the White House stays focused on its messaging, Trump has shifted his narrative toward voter frustration and party division. He recently claimed that many Republicans were being “duped” by Democratic tactics and warned he didn’t want their votes. He labeled critics who demanded file transparency as “weaklings.”
So being transparent is weak. Well, then where’s the Epstein files. We’ll wait.
In case you missed it, before Donald’s latest weird rant, Trump reignited old rivalries with online jabs at Barack Obama, Joe Biden, and Hillary Clinton, referencing the lingering controversy surrounding Russian interference in the 2016 election. According to a recent report by the Wall Street Journal, Trump had been briefed in May that his name appears several times in internal files tied to that investigation. When asked directly if he had been notified, Trump denied any such briefing. A spokesperson dismissed the claims as just more “fake news.”
Here’s the thing, we don’t know squat about some random alleged election appearance payoffs but we do know Epstein isn’t going away. Maybe he should focus on that.
