Former CNN host and independent journalist Don Lemon claimed in a new interview that he’s “serious” about possibly running for president in the 2028 election — and insisted he’d be a “really good” commander-in-chief.
Lemon made the eyebrow-raising declaration on “Can’t Be Censored” podcast hosted by Karman Wong and Travis Dhanraj, insisting that everyone wants to know if he has White House aspirations.
“Do you have political ambition? Is that true?” Dhanraj asked on Wednesday’s show.
“No, but people keep asking me if I’m running for president,” Lemon answered.
“And I don’t know. I might. I’m serious. I don’t know. I might, because people keep asking me to do it, or if I’m going to do it.”
Lemon, 60, argued that experience isn’t necessarily a requirement to be commander-in-chief, citing President Trump’s lack of a political background before his election win in 2016.
Lemon went on to bash Trump, claiming the president “could have done a better job if he actually listened to people, but he doesn’t and he thinks he knows everything.”
“But, um, I actually think I would be a really good president of the United States,” he continued.

I’d put a bumper sticker on the front of my car that reads:
“Run, Don, RUN!”
Obviously, he is looking for something to make himself relevant.
shouldn’t he be in prison?
Do it!!!!!!
LOL 😅😆🤣🤣🤣

I’d pay good money to watch a Don Lemon - JD Vance Presidential debate. That would be quite the beating.
Same.
Now that’s funny.
Oh please do it. You’re sure stupid enough to think you have a chance, Don.
Didn’t we already have a homosexual negro as president?
He’s a lemon. Dudes would be coming out of the woodwork claiming sexual assault, instead of women. We could call it the “he too” movement.
“And I don’t know. I might. I’m serious. I don’t know. I might, because people keep asking me to do it”
No Don, they really don’t keep asking you. It’s those pesky voices in your head again. Take your meds.

What scares me is young people are this stupid. Think about that.
LOL
I wonder if he’ll run in the DSA party or in the Communist party.
This is something we should encourage!

Greg Gutfeld will have a field day with his sorry rear end. He usually does.
The Lemon has always been so sour!
