Donald Trump has shared a video mocking Joe Biden for his infamous ‘if you have a problem figuring out if you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black’ comment to Charlamagne tha God.
The Democrats’ presumptive presidential nominee was forced to apologise after making the comment to the popular radio show host in an interview last month.
On Wednesday, President Trump seized on the comment by sharing on Twitter a parody music video by hip hop artist The Marine Rapper which mocked Mr Biden.
The lyrics humorously criticised Mr Biden, including one line which read, ‘Who made you the white man in charge of the black authority?’
Another read, ‘So where do I put this black card in? Mail it to somebody?’.
The video also criticized the former Vice President for his past political record.
‘Joe Biden the biggest headache that i’ve had in my life. Not the first time you’ve been a black man’s vice,’ another line read.
It went on to refer to Mr Biden’s role in creating the controversial 1994 Violent Crime Law Enforcement Act when he was chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Critics argued the bill harmed the black community by ramping up mass imprisonment.
Among its provisions was the ‘three strikes’ compulsory life sentence for repeat offenders.
The mocking video also alleged Mr Biden ‘plagiarized speeches’ and urged him to ‘just be silent’ because ‘you grew up in the ‘burbs’.
Mr Trump retweeted the video after Mr Biden claimed on Twitter last night that the Trump presidency is the ‘most corrupt’ in history
The plagiarism comment was in reference to the accusation that in his 1988 presidential campaign Mr Biden lifted words from a speech made by former British Labour Party leader Neil Kinnock.
The rapper finished by saying he would ‘never vote Joe’ before adding, ‘Trump 2020 and still keeping my melanin.’

At the conclusion of the interview in May, Joe Biden told Charlamagne tha God ‘if you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black’
‘I should not have been so cavalier. I’ve never, never, ever taken the African-American community for granted,’ Mr Biden said, according to the Associated Press. ‘I shouldn’t have been such a wise guy.’
Mr Biden added that, ‘No one should have to vote for any party based on their race, their religion, their background,’ on a conference call with the U.S. Black Chamber of Commerce Friday afternoon.
Among those who criticized Mr Biden for what he said was Diddy, also known as Puff Daddy, tweeting, ‘Aye bruh @JoeBiden I already told you the #BlackVoteAintFree.’
Mr Biden made the cringey comment at the end of a contentious 18-minute interview that aired in May, where the former vice president was forced to defend his record supporting black Americans.

Charlamagne tha God was upfront with Joe Biden about past criticism. And asked him tough questions including whether he was suffering from mental decline
Over the course of the interview, an aide twice interrupted the back-and-forth to tell Mr Biden he was over on time.
This inspired Charlamagne the God, the host of the popular ‘Breakfast Club’ program, to say, ‘You can’t do that to black media.’
‘I’ve got to do that to white media and black media because my wife has to go on at 6 o’clock,’ Mr Biden replied. ‘Uh oh, I’m in trouble,’ he muttered, checking the time.

Charlamagne the God asked the ex-veep to come see him in New York post-pandemic.
‘It’s a long way until November, we’ve got more questions,’ the radio host said.
Mr Biden sounded surprised by that comment.
‘You’ve got more questions?’ he asked.
Diddy, also known in some circles as Puff Daddy, tweeted a response to Biden’s comments Friday using the hashtag #BlackVoteAintFree
‘Well, I will tell you what, if you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black,’ Mr Biden said.
Charlamagne the God replied, ‘it has nothing to do with Trump.
‘I want something for my community,’ he told the former vice president.
Mr Biden, using the defensive tone he used for most of the interview, shot back, ‘Take a look at my record man.’
‘I extended the voting rights act 25 years. I have a record that is second to none. The NAACP has endorsed me every time I’ve run. Come on, take a look at my record,’ Mr Biden said.
When an aide tried ending things for a third time, Mr Biden promised he would come back on ‘The Breakfast Club’ and called Charlamagne tha God ‘pal.’
