Former CNN host Don Lemon revealed he’s given thought to a presidential run and insisted he could do a better job than the current president. Lemon joined the Pod Save America podcast this week with guest host Alex Wagner, where he was asked about potential Oval Office ambitions. Lemon predicted people would “laugh” at him, but he declared, “I think I could be president of the United States.” He said: Do I ever think about it? Yes. Could it happen? Yeah, it could happen if the opportunity presented itself, the right opportunity presented itself. Look, if I wanted to, I know people are going to think I’m crazy. This is going to be the headline, and people are going to laugh about it. I think I could be President of the United States. I could definitely run this country better than [President] Donald Trump. Lemon added that he has no plans to run for office in the near future, complaining that being a minority candidate would mean far more scrutiny than he argued white male candidates get. “Am I at that point now? No. And I know people are going to say Don Lemon is crazy,” he said. Lemon said he would run as a Democrat and he’d need to switch his current party affiliation from independent. “Look, why can’t I think about running for office? Why can’t I think about being President of the United States when I look at what we have?” he asked. He then pointed to the political rise of former President Barack Obama as proof that he could work as a serious candidate. “Did anybody think Barack Obama, as he says, this guy with a funny name is from a mixed background, did anybody ever think that he would become president, that he had that aspiration? I don’t have an aspiration to become president, but I do think that I could run this country a lot better than Donald Trump,” he said. Lemon entered a not guilty plea last month to federal charges related to an anti-ICE protest at a Minnesota church last month. He accused Trump’s Justice Department of attempting to intimidate him and argued he was only part of the protest as a journalist covering the event.

On Monday, Eric Trump posted a video of a rendering of his father’s presidential library. The structure depicted, which is seen towering over Miami, bears a striking resemblance to One World Trade Center in New York. If built to scale, the building’s square footage would dwarf every other presidential library’s. “The Donald J. Trump Presidential Library is officially here,” Eric Trump wrote. “Over the past six months, I have poured my heart and soul into this project with my incredible team at @Trump. This landmark on the water in Miami, Florida, will stand as a lasting testament to an amazing man, an amazing developer, and the greatest President our Nation has ever known. These images have never been seen by the public — until today.” The president took questions from reporters in the Oval Office on Tuesday, shortly after signing an executive order regarding mail-in voting, over which he lacks authority. “Your son Eric posted a photo of what will be the Trump presidential library,” Fox News Senior White House Correspondent Peter Doocy told the president. “It’s a huge skyscraper. Is that all a library? What else is going in there?” “It’s a museum or a library,” Trump responded. “But I wouldn’t start it until I’m out of office. I don’t believe in building libraries or museums.” Trump went on to criticize former President Barack Obama’s presidential library, stating that it is a “very unattrative building” that is “in not a good location” in Chicago. “Will people live there?” Doocy asked. “No, it’s gonna be most likely a hotel,” the president and real estate magnate answered. “The concept, could be office but it’s most likely gonna be a hotel with a beautiful building underneath and a 747 Air Force One in the lobby, which is going to be trick.” Watch above via Fox News.The post Trump Says His Presidential Library Is ‘Gonna Be Most Likely a Hotel’ first appeared on Mediaite.

- GOP Rep. Claims U.S. ‘Won’ Vietnam War, Calls for Boots On the Ground in Ira...Rep. Rich McCormick (R-GA) claimed on Tuesday that the United States “won” the Vietnam War while arguing that putting boots on the Iran would bring the conflict to a swift end. McCormick joined Newsmax host Todd Starnes on Tuesday to discuss, among other topics, the ongoing military operation in Iran and the controversial option of putting U.S. troops on the ground to end the month-long conflict. Starnes questioned the congressman over whether he was concerned about the possibility, an opinion many within his party have voiced in recent days. McCormick claimed that while he would prefer to avoid sending troops into harm’s way, previous U.S. military victories were consistently achieved only when large-scale operations were launched. McCormick included the Vietnam War in this list of victories, a conflict that killed over fifty thousand U.S. troops and resulted in the communist takeover of South Vietnam. “Yeah, I don’t want to have boots on the ground, but also I want to have all options on the table,” said McCormick, who added: One of the things we’ve done poorly in the past is we do this thing called limited warfare. It’s never worked for us. When we go to war college, or command and staff college, we always learned that the worst kind of way to fight any war is to do it half-assed. We were horrible in Afghanistan and Iraq until we did surge ops, and then we won. We were horrible in Vietnam until we did Thunder One– Rolling Thunder One and Rolling Thunder Two, and then we won. As soon as we go half measures, we lose. We lose popular support. The faster we get this over, the better. We seize Kharg Island, that is technically boots on the ground. It can be done almost flawlessly. We have enough firepower. That would be very easy to defend. I know nobody wants to see that, but at the same time, we can choke them off, end this war, and get back to business so everybody’s gas prices come back down, and so they’re not funding Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis. The people will be happy. But the longer we drag on, the more frustrated the people will get and the less support we will have. President Donald Trump has deployed thousands of troops to the Middle East since the conflict began, including 2,000 troops from the 82nd Airborne and 3,500 sailors and… [TheTopNews] Read More.1 hour ago
- J6er Accused of Throwing Chairs at Cops Sues for ‘Emotional Distress’
Photo by Lev Radin/Sipa USA(Sipa via AP Images A man accused of throwing chairs at police outside the Capitol on January 6 filed a class action lawsuit seeking monetary damages over “physical and emotional injuries” caused by law enforcement. Alan E. Fischer III, along with two other plaintiffs and over forty demonstrators who added their names, filed the suit on Friday, accusing the Capitol Police and the Metropolitan Police of the District of Columbia of “indiscriminately” firing non-lethal munitions “into a peaceful crowd.” “The crowd was composed of protesters who were overwhelmingly peaceful before the shooting by police started,” the lawsuit alleges, later adding that “no one intentionally harmed any officers.” The suit goes on to claim that “the munitions launched into the crowd were not directed at any of the people who were pushing on the fence line,” and that police did not warn the crowd before shooting. “Instead, the police were shooting indiscriminately into the crowd further back in an area with peaceful protesters,” the suit claims. The plaintiffs allege that police actions caused serious injuries to “thousands” of protestors, including those not directly named in the lawsuit. “The actions of the police caused physical and emotional injuries, including but not limited to chemical burns, concussive trauma, emotional distress, and other damages to plaintiffs, class members and thousands of other protesters,” claims the lawsuit. Though neither of the two other named plaintiffs, Patrick and Marie Sullivan, faced criminal charges for their presence at the Capitol, Fischer was indicted on seven criminal charges, including multiple violent felonies. A member of the Proud Boys, Fischer was accused of “hurling a traffic cone, a pole, and multiple chairs at police officers,” before his case was erased due to President Donald Trump’s pardon. The plaintiffs are seeking monetary damages, a trial by jury, and a ruling declaring that both police forces “assaulted and battered protesters” and “acted negligently.” Officials from both police departments declined to comment as the lawsuit remains ongoing. The Department of Justice and a lawyer for the plaintiffs have not yet responded to requests for comment. A former Capitol Police officer, Aquilino Gonell, who was wounded during the riot, told Politico that the suit was “shockingly unsurprising.” “It took them long enough since they have seen other insurrectionists being rewarded with government jobs, settlements and praises for their violent attempt to overthrow our democracy and elevating them as heroes and… [TheTopNews] Read More.2 hours ago - Hegseth Announces Fate of Army Pilots Who Flew To Kid Rock’s House: ‘Carry O...
Screengrab via X/Kid Rock Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth announced on Tuesday that a suspension has been lifted for U.S. Army service members who flew an AH-64 Apache helicopter by Kid Rock’s Nashville home. “Thank you [Kid Rock]. [U.S. Army] pilots suspension lifted,” Hegseth wrote on X. “No punishment. No investigation. Carry on, patriots.” Hegseth was responding to Kid Rock’s original video, posted on Saturday, that showed the military helicopter flying close to his house. While standing next to a Statue of Liberty replica, Kid Rock gave a salute to the helicopter crew. In his post, Kid Rock took a shot at California Governor Gavin Newsom (D), seen by many as a potential Democratic frontrunner in 2028. “This is a level of respect that s**t for brains Governor of California will never know. God Bless America and all those who have made the ultimate sacrifice to defend her,” the musician, a longtime supporter of President Donald Trump, wrote when posting the video. Thank you @KidRock.@USArmy pilots suspension LIFTED. No punishment. No investigation. Carry on, patriots. https://t.co/Zqhv1Zx1iG — Pete Hegseth (@PeteHegseth) March 31, 2026 Kid Rock also posted a second video showing him fist-pumping the helicopter crew when another military helicopter flies by in the background. The helicopters appeared to be the same ones that were flying over an anti-Trump “No Kings” rally in Nashville on Saturday. pic.twitter.com/PGltex7Dq6 — KidRock (@KidRock) March 28, 2026 The flyover reportedly led to an investigation and later a suspension for the service members as concerns grew about the seemingly frivolous use of military equipment. Reuters national security correspondent Idrees Ali reported that an investigation had been launched into the incident, and NBC News later reported, citing a U.S. official, that the crew was hit with a suspension over their actions. “Army aviators must adhere to strict safety standards, professionalism, and established flight regulations,” the Army said in a Monday statement. “An administrative review is underway to assess the mission and verify compliance with regulations and airspace requirements.”The post Hegseth Announces Fate of Army Pilots Who Flew To Kid Rock’s House: ‘Carry On, Patriots’ first appeared on Mediaite.

After the signing, the president took questions from reporters. “Does Iran have to make a deal for the U.S. to end its operation? Iran?” the reporter asked, before trying to tack on another inquiry. “And have you spoken directly–” “No, Iran doesn’t have to make a deal, no,” the president interrupted, contradicting his demand on Monday that Iran come to terms with the U.S. soon or the U.S. would bomb the country’s civilian infrastructure. “I’ve spoken to a lot of people. It’s a new regime. They are much more accessible. They are right. You know, they said, ‘We have a present for you, Mr. President, out of respect.'” After Trump completed the sentence, the reporter interjected. “Wait a minute,” the president snapped. “Do you want me to answer the question? You’re a fresh person. You know? We’ve had a lot of problems with you, haven’t we? Uh, no, they don’t. You asked me a question. No, they don’t have to make a deal with me. When we feel that they are for a long period of time, put into the Stone Ages [sic], and they won’t be able to come up with a nuclear weapon, then we’ll leave, whether we have a deal or not. It’s irrelevant.” On Monday morning, Trump fired off a Truth Social post demanding Iran come to an agreement with the U.S. and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Hours later, Iran responded by bombing a Kuwaiti oil tanker in the Persian Gulf. Trump has snapped at reporters – especially women – several times in recent months. Aboard Air Force One in November, the president told Bloomberg White House Correspondent Catherine Lucey, “Quiet, quiet, piggy.” Watch above via CNN.The post Trump Snaps at Reporter: ‘You’re a Fresh Person – We’ve Had a Lot of Problems With You’ first appeared on Mediaite.
