Don Lemon, host of "The Don Lemon Show" on CNN+, thinks President-elect Donald Trump is worried about crowd sizes and that's why he moved the inauguration indoors. Lemon's one to talk … CNN let him go and now he and a cameraman run around doing man-on-the-street interviews (that backfire) for nobody.
As we've reported, there have been a lot of juvenile shots at Trump for moving the inauguration indoors. Susan Rice simply posted, "SNOWFLAKES." Sen. Chris Murphy posted that Trump moved the inauguration indoors "because the Mall was going to be empty and totally embarrassing." Like, totally.
Anyway, Lemon did his homework and Googled the temperatures for other presidential inaugurations, including Barack Obama's.
Don Lemon says the crowd size for Trump’s inauguration will be small that’s why he’s moving it inside.

A few things to consider: he’s concerned about all of the people freezing OR it’s a safety issue. Don has Long, Fat, Chronic TDS. pic.twitter.com/C8Z5nOthHd
So Don Lemon has a theory...pic.twitter.com/B9IsITktUL

It seems the people who criticized every little thing Trump did during his first term are back at it. It seems silly to make fun of the supposed lack of a crowd after Trump won the popular vote. That's the crowd that mattered — the one that turned out on Election Day. In just two days, Don, he's going to be your president again.
He has no capacity for embarrassment. Grow up, you child.

But Don Lemon has no viewers. 😆

The only reason this little video is getting any views is because people are ridiculing it.
Don Lemon is trying very hard to stay relevant amongst the trolls he feeds.

It must have really stung when CNN hired Brian Stelter back and not Lemon.
When you have to start looking at the weather from past inaugurations to take a dig at Trump, you're really grasping for straws.

But then Don Lemon is always grasping for straws due to TDS 24/7/365 pic.twitter.com/9JAnFxXsti
Brilliant…… over half the country voted for him so he’s afraid of crowd size.

As someone mentioned, Trump voters will be at work Monday doing their jobs …
Maybe. It could be crowd size.

Trump supporters work jobs and aren't paid to be there.
Being a "professional" one would think he could come up with some fresh material.

It could also be that people like Don Lemon have inspired TDS in people that listen to him to a level where it’s just safer to do inside.

Don Lemon's viewership numbers are the important numbers. Are there any?
— 2VNews (@2VNews) January 18, 2025
Hilarious, coming from someone who couldn’t draw ratings to save his career. Trump’s crowds would crush Biden’s any day, inside, outside, or in a blizzard.

“It was 7 degrees during Regan’s inauguration.”

Probably not indoors where it was held Don! 😂 pic.twitter.com/vgsI50770S
Ronald Reagan … another SNOWFLAKE.
Nobody would even see these videos if they weren’t cross-posted.
— Shawn Reimerdes (@ShawnReimerdes) January 18, 2025
Yeah, the original must be on TikTok or something.
Says the guy with zero crowds lining up to watch him in anything since leaving CNN.

Lemon's ratings when he was on CNN in prime time weren't anything to write home about. We're not sure how many people subscribe to his online videos.
