Popular radio host Charlamagne tha God weighed in on President Joe Biden’s cordial meeting with President-elect Donald Trump at the White House on Wednesday, and he admitted to having a hard time wrapping his head around how that all went down.

During his Thursday morning broadcast, he recalled how Biden — along with the rest of his party and a whole host of media talking heads — had been referring to Trump as a “fascist” or suggesting that he was the second coming of Adolf Hitler just days earlier. What he didn’t understand, he said, was how Biden had pivoted so easily from calling Trump an “existential threat” to inviting him into the White House for a pleasant conversation.

“I just don’t understand the White House visit,” he began. “Granted, I’m glad there’s a peaceful transition of power, but what happened to the threat of democracy talk? What happened to the fascist talk?”

“By the way, I know I’ve said those things about Trump as well,” he continued. “But I’m not talking about me. I’m talking about his political opponents like President Biden. When they say it, it holds way more weight than me. I’m just trying to figure out, how to you go from ‘He’s an existential threat to democracy’ to ‘Welcome back’?”

DJ Envy, Charlamagne’s cohost, weighed in then, noting that Biden had looked happy during the meeting and had been “cheesing” for the cameras.

Charlamagne went on to say that he understood Biden held himself up as an advocate for certain political “norms,” but still couldn’t quite make it all make sense in his mind.

By the end of the segment, he appeared to give up entirely, saying, “I’m gonna stop minding white people’s business.”

The popular host had broached the subject earlier, asking last Friday why prominent members of the Democratic Party had suddenly stopped referring to Trump as a “threat to democracy.”

“Don’t y’all find it strange that now that he’s won, they’re not calling him a threat to democracy? They’re not calling him a fascist. I mean, damn, on Monday, they was just calling him that. I would think that, you know, if you really believe that, then somebody’s speech would be about how America ‘effed up and how things are about to be really bad. It just makes you wonder how much of it did they really believe, or how much of it was just politics. That’s all,” he said at the time.
