Charles Barkley is swinging on any Black person who rocks a Donald Trump mug shot shirt.

The NBA analyst and former Auburn star doesn’t support Donald Trump and has little patience for the former president’s recent remarks.

During Barkley’s weekly CNN show with Gayle King, Barkley played a clip of Trump saying his mug shot appeals to Black voters.

“The mug shot, we’ve all seen the mug shot, and you know who embraced it more than anybody else?” Trump said. “The Black population. It’s incredible. You see Black people walking around with my mug shot, you know they do shirts.”

Barkley has a message for those that wear such a shirt.

“If I see a Black person walking around with a Trump mug shot, I’m gonna punch him in the face,” Barkley said.

King suggested Barkley retract the statement, but the former NBA great doubled down on the comment even if he gets arrested for assault.

“Oh, I mean that sincerely,” Barkley said. “I’m gonna bail myself out and go celebrate,” Barkley said.

Barkley said it was a shot at all Black people.

“If I was at that (conference), I would have got- ten up and walked out,” Barkley said. “That was an insult to all Black people. … It’s not a fair comparison. He’s a billionaire. He’s had a great life. He’s been President of the United States. To insult Black people who have been discriminated against all these years, to put them in the same category, I was just offended.”
