Trump calls Kim Kardshian the ‘world’s most overrated celebrity’ and was only interested in commuting prison sentences if Kanye was involved in rant about new book

Former President Donald Trump called Kim Kardashian ‘the World’s most overrated celebrity’ as he slapped down an account that said he asked the reality star for help attracting ‘football stars’ to the White House.

 

Trump went off on Truth Social Wednesday after ABC’s Jonathan Karl reported in his new book, Tired of Winning: Donald Trump and the End of the Grand Old Party, that the then-president had made the Kardashian ask.

In the waning days of his administration, Kardashian – who was working to get non-violent offenders out of prison – had asked Trump to commute more sentences, as he had done after their highly publicized Oval Office meeting in 2018.

A source told Karl that ‘Trump listened to her requests and demanded a straight-up quid pro quo.’

‘He would grant the commutations, he told Kardashian, if she leveraged her celebrity connections to get football stars who were friends of hers to come visit him at the White House,’ the ABC News reporter wrote.

‘Kardashian actually tried to do what Trump demanded, seeing it as a small price to pay to get justice for people she believed were serving unjust sentences. But all the players she approached declined,’ Karl said. ‘Trump had become too toxic. In the final two weeks of his presidency, nobody wanted to be anywhere near him.’

While Trump said on Truth Social that there were ‘many other false stories in Karl’s very boring book’ the journalist did report that Trump was angry with Kardashian’s Biden support, similar to the animosity he showcased on Wednesday.

In his Truth Social post, Trump dubbed Karl a ‘Failed ABC Fake News repoter’ adding that he ‘works sooo hard, but has sooo little talent.’

‘In the “book” he has the World’s most overrated celebrity, Kim Kardashian, supposedly telling me that she “would leverage her celebrity to get football stars to come to the White House,” if I would commute the sentences of various prisoners,’ Trump wrote. ‘This story is Fake News in that she would be the last person I asked to get football players.’

Trump then boasted that he had ‘many teams from all sports and leagues, in the White House.’

While mostly true, Trump also had a number of notable skips, in part because he vocally opposed NFL players who were kneeling during the playing of the Star-Spangled Banner to protest racial injustice in the United States.

After inviting the Philadelphia Eagles to the White House in 2018, he then disinvited the team before members could boycott he visit, as they had planned to do.

Trump then held a South Lawn event for Eagles ‘fans’ instead, where he played up the importance of respecting the American flag.

‘If there was even a slight reluctance, I would immediately withdraw the invitation, there would be NO Negotiation – But this did not happen often,’ Trump said in his post Wednesday.

He also admitted to helping with prisoner commutation ‘but only if deserving, and much more so for Kanye West than for Kim, who probably voted for Crooked Joe Biden, and look at the mess our Country is in now.’

Kardashian filed for divorce from West in January 2021 and the prominent rapper has made headlines since for his erratic behavior, anti-Semitic comments and for hanging out with Nick Fuentes, a white supremacist and Holocaust denier.

West brought Fuentes to dinner with him at Mar-a-Lago around Thanksgiving last November to dine with the ex-president, which created a firestorm for Trump, who had just announed his 2024 presidential ambitions.

Kardashian never explicitly said she was a Biden supporter, though posted a picture of Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris with three blue hearts after the Democrats won election over Trump in 2020.

While Trump said on Truth Social that there were ‘many other false stories in Karl’s very boring book’ the journalist did report that Trump was angry with Kardashian’s Biden support, similar to the animosity he showcased on Wednesday.

Months after Trump left the White House, Kardashian reached out to him to see if he would be open to endorsing a high-profile clemency plea.

She ‘quickly received a call back from Trump,’ Karl wrote.

‘Hell no, the former president told her. He wouldn’t do it. “You voted for Biden and now you come asking me for a favor?” Trump told her,’ the ABC newsman said. ‘After a few more choice words, the line went dead. Trump had hung up on her.’
