CRINGE --> Don Lemon earns his Trump-given nickname 'dumbest man on television' trying to pick a fight with the president (watch)

Don Lemon must’ve seen his (and CNN’s) ratings and decided to say, ‘EFF IT, we suck anyway so I’m going to make a total tool of myself. GO ME!’

Seriously.

Watch this spot where he’s trying to get under Trump’s skin about Obama and tell us he hasn’t basically thrown in the towel and given up on the notion that he’s anything more than a babbling, partisan, mean-girl hack pretending to be a pundit:

This is @CNN’s Don Lemon. Watch this and try to tell me he’s objective. He’s not. He’s also incredibly disrespectful to our First Lady in the clip.

This is CNN. The fakest name in news. pic.twitter.com/5UlTEDRsfn

Why did he have to bring Melania into this?

You know what, don’t answer that

We know why he did it.

Fake journalist Don Lemon what is it about President Trump that gets under your skin?

Is it that he won when you did not want him to? That he made a booming economy, that he is better looking, better educated, more accomplished? What is it?

HA HA HA

‘Is it because Trump called him the dumbest man on television?

*meaningful pause*

What is it?’

This is not a journalist. He’s an insecure child-man, looking for attention.

That was painful

It really is painful.

My problem is he plays the anchor role when he basically Sean Hannity on the other side of the political aisle. That's ok but just identify yourself to be a partisan because not everybody is.

He would still suck even if he admitted he’s not a news anchor.

Sorry, not sorry.

I laughed at this. This man is suffering. 😛

Ain’t that the truth?

It's just revenge for Trump calling him “dumbest man on television”. ??????

Totally.

I couldn’t finish watching. He’s so arrogant and just awful.

— Celia ORand (@celia_orand) May 4, 2020

Full transparency, we had to click pause four times to get through that short little bit.

That’s how awful it is.

But hey, way to go, Don! You sure showed Trump!

Or not.
