Scandal-ridden former President Donald Trump is facing a massive mountain of public backlash over the recent dinner guests he chose to host at his Mar-a-Lago country club turned post-White House personal residence — including the likes of known anti-Semite Kanye West (now known as “Ye”) and notorious White supremacist and nationalist, anti-Semite, Holocaust-denier, and self-described “incel,” Nick Fuentes.
Unsurprisingly, even some of the Conservative crowd has been left disgusted by Trump’s decision to entertain someone as deeply and openly abhorrent and disgusting as Nick Fuentes (as if Kanye wasn’t bad enough all on his own.) And, of course, as the backlash began to rain down on him, the former president did the only thing he seems to know how to do in situations like this — much like Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein, and Prince Andrew — deny that he has any idea who they are, despite the fact that we all very much know better.
Following the public uproar, the former president took to his struggling Truth Social platform where he wrote bluntly, “I didn’t know Nick Fuentes,” while defending his decision to host the meeting in the first place.
But popular podcast host and political commentator Dean Obeidallah made an appearance on MSNBC this morning, where he blew a massive hole in Trump’s claims before they ever stood a fighting chance.

Speaking with MSNBC host Ali Velshi, Obeidallah pointed out the one major and painfully obvious flaw in Donald Trump’s damage control claims — his Secret Service protective detail.
“Donald Trump had a meal at Mar-a-Lago with Kanye West who has had a bunch of antisemitic outbursts recently, and with Nick Fuentes who is a Holocaust-denier among a library of other unsavory things,” host Velshi said in the segment. “For a guy who is running for president you think he would lay low and try and clean up its act a little bit but that does not seem to be of any interest to him.”
“Donald Trump is trying to animate his base,” Obeidallah said before cracking a joke, “Not all Republicans are racist, but all racists that Republicans — I like to say that a lot.”
“The reality is that Kanye West, who not months ago, not years ago, weeks ago was using all that anti-semitic garbage,” the podcast host went on to add.
“It’s impossible to believe Trump did not know him [Fuentes],” Dean went on to explain. “First of all, Trump has Secret service; you don’t just wander up to Trump. Secondly, Nick Fuentes ran the America First Foundation that Marjorie Taylor Greene spoke at. There they were huge headlines Trump had to see.”
“That guy was the host of a right-wing channel, he loves Trump!” the popular political commentator added. “He was there January 6th, Trump who knew who Nick Fuentes was, I have no doubt about it.”
