Caca_Face420 Apr 2, 2026 +58
Celebrities aren’t the problem. Zelenskyy was a celebrity before holding office and he is doing great for Ukraine. Reagan was also an actor. I think the issue is more with billionaires. We should no longer elect billionaires.
58
fredout1968 Apr 3, 2026 +42
Yeah but Reagan was a huge piece of shit. Unlike Zelensky... Who do you think is responsible for trickle down economics? And one of the reasons the billionaires have such a grip on our government??
42
SSGASSHAT Apr 3, 2026 +15
Never forget Reagan. His presidency was one of the coprolite stones on the path that was paved for Trump.
15
SolomonAsassin Apr 3, 2026 +6
Honestly I don't care if one celebrity does a little better than another, actual political experience not being a requirement to hold the highest office in a country is ridiculous. Plus isn't he an embezzeler?
6
ComputerDecent463 Apr 3, 2026 +2
The Presidency is actually the one where it doesn’t matter because you have a staff of a thousand people and guard rails at every level. More concerning would be local elections without any experience. Someone who doesn’t have a clue being mayor of a town with 50k could have significant ramifications.
2
Duke_Cheech Apr 3, 2026 +5
we should stop electing shitty humans
5
cheffartsonurfood Apr 3, 2026 +5
Reagan created the billionaires when he shipped all our jobs overseas so they could pay lower wages, dodge pollution laws and clean-up.

He_Who_Walks_Behind_ Apr 3, 2026 +3
Reagan isn’t the great example you think he is. That shithead is a not insignificant part of what is currently wrong with this country.

It’s not even celebrity quality, more like “as-seen-on-tv” quality.

I believe anyone could do a better job than Trump.

DropbeatsNotbombs Apr 2, 2026 +33
This was Don Lemons point in the interview on pod save America he said all this on. I think it’s disingenuous to suggest he’s really considering a presidential run.
33
Background-Roof-112 Apr 2, 2026 +4
I'd like to see a different and much shorter list of who could do a worse job Was about to make a Kid Rock joke but you know what? Not sure he'd be worse
4
SpankingAround Apr 2, 2026 +73
If he were POTUS, he could restore USAID and then the press would call it LemonAID
73
Sea-Paramedic-1842 Apr 3, 2026 +18
Yes 🙌 his entire campaign could be called lemonaide 
18
Horace_P_MctittiesIV Apr 3, 2026 +6
He might as well start his own political party called the Lemon Party
6
BrooklynLivesMatter Apr 3, 2026 +3
We definitely have enough old men in government for a Lemon Party
3
YodaForceGhost Apr 2, 2026 +93
A Don Lemon/Stephen A Smith ticket would be painful
93
EmuMan10 Apr 2, 2026 +30
We can’t even joke about that
30
bluerose297 Apr 3, 2026 +14
I find Stephen A Smith so insufferable. He talks such big game about how politics has left the average voter behind and how the politicians only care about their paychecks, and then you ask him "okay but like what would you do if you were president?" and his answer (if you can even get a clear one out of him) turns out to be same old same old as what the current politicians are doing.
14
MrPlaysWithSquirrels Apr 3, 2026 +4
His whole thing is just very confidently saying nonsense on TV.

watch_out_4_snakes Apr 2, 2026 +24
That’s a ridiculously low bar though
24
hurcoman Apr 2, 2026 +21
I mean a mentally challenged chimpanzee on acid would run this country better. He doesn’t stand a chance though.
21
Ravenna-23 Apr 2, 2026 +46
Well at this point who couldn’t really? Opportunities for better are endless.

Every catering shift lead I’ve ever worked an event with could absolutely kill it if Better than Trump is the bar for success

“Better than Trump” does not qualify

j_xcal Apr 3, 2026 +4
I mean….a room temperature can of opened tuna could probably run it better, too

It definitely would start less wars and kill less people.

aloofman75 Apr 3, 2026 +5
There must be at least five people out there who want this to happen, but they’re all related to Don Lemon.

SillyGoatGruff Apr 2, 2026 +3
A lemon could run the country better than trump
3
Prince_Vegeta88 Apr 2, 2026 +3
I see he’s setting the bar high for comparison….. /s How about we stop electing celebrities/online personalities to positions of power over the country? Maybe take a page out of the Jon Stewart book and practice some humility?
3
PalliativeOrgasm Apr 3, 2026 +3
That’s bait. Lemon’s lawyers are arguing malicious and political prosecution for the church “invasion” case. Good odds Trump says something that helps Lemon’s case if he takes the bait during his truth social binges. Honestly, it’s an asinine statement on its own, but as bait it’s genius.
3
ChattyOracle Apr 3, 2026 +3
No thanks. No more celebrity presidents or entertainment news hosts. Hopefully we will learn from our mistakes.
3
TechGuruGJ Apr 3, 2026 +3
He never said he’s considering a run.
3
Jeepers-H-Cripes Apr 3, 2026 +3
Let’s be honest. An actual lemon could run this country better than Trump. At the very least the Oval Office would smell lemony-fresh instead of like a dirty-diaper.
3
BadInternational9830 Apr 3, 2026 +3
Most people could run it better than Donald Trump.

Jesus, maybe run for school board or mayor? Why are all these ego maniacs always going for President? I’m calling it. He’s trying to Jill Stein shit up.

Holy shit. It took him this long to feel like he could run this country better than Trump? Everyone i know came to this conclusion about themselves months ago
3
blackmobius Apr 3, 2026 +3
I mean, he could, but Im done with entertainment icons and celebs running for office. I want a boring af admin *that just does what its supposed to do*. Nothing showy, nothing wild. I want to have an admin where I *dont* know all the cabinet members, or one where we *dont* have stupid headlines every other day. Literally anyone else can run this country better, including us having *no president* at all. But trump *did* do one thing right, and that was teach us that you cant just walk away from politics because the second you do, the gop comes in and tries to f*** everything. You have to care about who runs, you have to stay active on everything, and you cant piss away everything by letting someone like trump anywhere near office.

A rotting potato forgotten in the pantry could run this country better.

Yes, he could. No, he shouldn't. Can we have, like, lawyers, economists, scholars,people that know what the f*** they're doing? Please?
2
Gideon_Hendrik Apr 2, 2026 +2
He undoubtedly COULD do better than a senile sociopath... but the bar for Presidents has to be higher than, "Hey, at least I'm not the other guy."

And be a foil to distract from real candidates and attack fellow democrats during primary? Yikes.

Rolled my eyes so hard reading the title. Better than Trump? I’m sure. But the bar is in hell.

He should not do this. The Democrats need to put up a **relatable** candidate that is going to actually seek consequences for the criminals currently running our country.

No. Stay in your lane, Don. We have tried a TV show host and even a movie star TWICE now. THREE TIMES if you count the fact that one of them had two terms that weren’t consecutive. THEY DON’T F****** WORK AND YOU WOULDN’T EITHER.

A fart trapped in a paper bag could run the US better than Trump.

I think an unmanned sock puppet could run the country better… the bar is pretty low

A snail that's been stepped on could run the country better, doesn't mean it should. Stop having entertainment personalities think they should run for office.
