Don Lemon was roasted on social media after taking his whining about President Donald Trump over to MSNBC, where he rolled out his familiar hate-filled shtick.
Lemon, who was fired from CNN in early 2023 after alleged misconduct, told MSNBC’s Ari Melber that he didn’t have many “positive things” to say about the president, as he accused Trump of “trying to steal elections” and ruin the country.
“I don’t have very many positive things, if any at all, to say about Donald Trump,” Lemon said, adding that he had interviewed the president several times and he would “talk, and ramble, and rant” in the phone calls.
Don Lemon is the face of TDS as he wrongly insists there’s nothing good to say about what President Trump has done.
Securing the border and doing mass deportations are objectively great.
As are making peace, fair trade, and bringing back law and order.pic.twitter.com/8WG60kxqa1

“I don’t have very many positive things to say about him — because there aren’t really any positive things to say about him,” Lemon continued.
“What he’s doing is objectively bad for the world. It’s objectively bad for our democracy — and it should be called as such. There should not be false equivalence with anything that Donald Trump does because he doesn’t play by the rules, he’s not fair.”
Melber agreed, claiming that elections are no longer “free and fair.”

Lemon insisted the media should not cover Trump’s actions as though everything is normal politically.
But the former CNN talking head was pilloried on X, where users blasted his tired call to hate anything to do with Trump.
“Don’t think about anything. Just oppose everything.”

I’m still trying to figure out how Lemon became a thing to begin with, let alone why people are still talking to him.

Don Lemon threw away his career because he was too deranged even for CNN.

he’s a Diva and that got him fired…..
He failed to remind himself daily that “they” get 2 votes and he gets 1.
Nobody wants folks on the team that make their lives more difficult.
That was and is Don Lemon

Lemon’s anti-Trump talking points and claims about not debating the president’s policies drew even more mockery on X.
They have difficulty explaining why they are against everything that is positive for the USA.

This is funny considering that outside of the tariffs, there isn’t a single policy of Trumps that wasn’t bipartisan 20 yrs ago. Secure border, tough on crime, no trans in girls sports, etc.

Notice the vague statements. Everything is bad and doesn’t need to be debated. That is objectively false.

If the ideas are so bad, they should easily be dispatched and debated but here we are.
