Since being fired by CNN in 2023, Don Lemon has been making a living by becoming part of the anti-Trump media, a collection of Trump-deranged liberals and bitter, former Republicans who all speak only to each other and appear on each other’s podcasts.
This week, during an appearance on the Pod Save America podcast, Lemon hilariously signaled that he is open to the idea of running for president and actually said that he would do a better job than President Trump.
It’s amazing how highly Don thinks of himself. He has such an inflated sense of self-worth.
Given his participation in the storming of a church in Minnesota this winter, he’ll be lucky to stay out of jail.

Don Lemon talks possibility of being president, says he’d be ‘a lot better than Donald Trump’
Former CNN anchor and independent journalist Don Lemon addressed whether he would ever consider running for president.
“Do I ever think about it? Yes,” Lemon said on “Pod Save America” Sunday. “Could it happen? Yeah, it could happen if the opportunity presented itself, the right opportunity presented itself. Look, if I wanted to, I know people are going to think I’m crazy. This is going to be the headline, and people are going to laugh about it. I think I could be President of the United States. I could definitely run this country better than Donald Trump.”
Lemon said that he currently doesn’t have any interest in running for office, arguing that it could “ruin” his life and pointing out that White male candidates “get away with” far more than female or minority ones. He also argued that he would have to change his party affiliation from independent to Democrat.
However, he pushed back on the idea that it was impossible for him to consider running.
“Am I at that point now? No. And I know people are going to say Don Lemon is crazy. But yeah, that’s…look, why can’t I think about running for office? Why can’t I think about being President of the United States when look at what we have?” Lemon said.

What a stunning display of self-delusion. Lemon couldn’t even keep a job at CNN but he thinks he could run for president? He couldn’t get elected as a trash collector.
