10 radio hosts tuning out Trump
President Trump recently criticized Charlamagne tha God, a co-host of the popular NYC based morning radio show, “The Breakfast Club,” calling him a “low-IQ individual.” He wasn’t the first radio personality to feel the wrath of the president. Here are 10 more.
1. Chet “Thunderpipe” Malone – 44.7 The Growl (Idaho Panhandle)
Chet’s morning show usually consists of dirt bike reviews, elk mating calls, and conspiracy theories about how soup is a government trick. But lately, he’s been roasting Trump daily.
“He called into my show asking why Idaho doesn’t have more beachfront,” Chet said. “Told me to ‘build some ocean’ and hung up. My show’s called The Growl, not The Delusion Channel.”
2. DJ Blüntcake – KZAZ 109.9 (Brooklyn via Berlin)
A techno philosopher broadcasting from a converted shipping container, DJ Blüntcake once tried to remix a Trump rally chant into a rave banger but found “the BPM of tacky too off-beat.”
Now she starts every show with 90 seconds of silence “for the dying dignity of public discourse,” then plays obscure Icelandic jazz-funk and says, “Donald, your aura is beige, mein dude.”
3. Barb “The News Moose” McClintock – WUFF 1930 AM (Fargo)
A small-town farm talk radio legend known for her midday livestock reports and 20-year feud with a goose named Randy. She turned on Trump after he tweeted that “corn is overrated.”
“He said Iowa grows better corn than us,” she snapped. “Well, I called him a fork-ignorant pylon with the tastebuds of a haunted mailbox. And I stand by that.”
4. Mondo Gekko – Pirate Frequency 116.66 FM (Location Unknown)
Nobody’s really sure where Mondo’s signal originates. Possibly a blimp. Possibly beneath a Chili’s.
A known prankster, he replaced Trump’s entire speech at the State Fair with beluga whale mating sounds. “I didn’t edit it,” he explained. “I reinterpreted it for the marine community.”
5. Reverend Slappy Dugan – KRAP 420 AM (Tucson)
A failed televangelist turned AM shock jock, Slappy Dugan rebranded after his church was shut down for excessive glitter use.
He refers to Trump only as “Captain Spraytan” and reads his tweets aloud using a helium balloon while slapping a tambourine. “I’ve converted more raccoons than he has voters,” he claimed. “And mine pay tithes.”
6. “Two-Mic” Tanya Ferrell – 880.7 FM The Frequency Feminist
Tanya hosts a show called Rage & Raisins, a feminist wellness hour that blends political commentary with competitive pickling.
She invited Trump on air to discuss his “Women for Trump 2028” campaign, but he ghosted after hearing the phrase “free-range uterus.” Tanya responded with a 12-minute freestyle slam poem called Orange You Embarrassing.
7. Rick “The Voice” Flanagan – KDOOM Classic Rock Route 66 (Mobile, Alabama)
Rick plays nothing but Zeppelin and Aerosmith and shouts every word like he’s standing on a volcano.
He got in hot water with management after airing a fake promo: “This Sunday, it’s Trump vs. Truth in a steel cage match… Only one leaves without an indictment.” His listener call-in line crashed from laughter. Or fury. Hard to tell.
8. Dr. Goon – Late-Night Science Hour on WORM 12250 AM (Outer Boston)
A man of “scientifical inquiry,” Dr. Goon usually explains advanced physics to drunk callers using dog metaphors.
He recently banned Trump’s name from the show entirely. “He defies the laws of thermodynamics,” he said. “Nothing should be able to generate that much heat while doing so little work.”
9. Lady Crunkweather – 1040.3 CRÜNCH (Tampa Bay)
A former death metal DJ turned weather forecaster, Lady Crunkweather reads the Doppler radar like she’s narrating a Viking battle.
She turned on Trump after he suggested “hurricane names should sound more masculine, like ‘Hurricane Kevin.’”
She responded on air: “A storm doesn’t need a beard to ruin your patio furniture, Donny.”
10. DJ Tapioca – 980.2 The Bounce (Los Angeles)
Known for doing his entire show from a beanbag chair surrounded by aromatherapy mist, DJ Tapioca speaks in gentle riddles and plays only vinyl records he finds in alleyways.
When asked about Trump, he paused, took a long sip of kombucha, and whispered: “He is a WiFi signal made of lies. May he buffer in silence.” The audience applauded.
Nobody knows how. It’s radio.
