Charles Barkley, the former basketball star turned sports commentator and CNN host, called supporters of former President Donald J. Trump “a small little group of nutty people” Wednesday night. Speaking on “King Charles,” the weekly show he hosts with the “CBS Mornings” anchor Gayle King, Mr. Barkley said that he was concerned by Mr. Trump’s refusal to say in a Fox News interview that he would not be a dictator “except for Day 1” of his presidency. Mr. Barkley, whose CNN show debuted last week to low ratings, said he worried that Mr. Trump would be more focused on retribution against the media and his political opponents than on the economic concerns of the American public. ’Cause like I say, it’s the president of the United States. It ain’t for no small little group of nutty people,” Mr. Barkley said.
