In what may be the most delusional political fantasy since Hillary Clinton thought she'd win in 2016, disgraced former CNN anchor Don Lemon has announced he's "open" to running for president if "the right opportunity" presents itself.

Speaking on the "Pod Save America" podcast with former MSNBC host Alex Wagner, the failed broadcaster—who was unceremoniously fired from CNN after a series of embarrassing on-air outbursts and declining ratings—seriously suggested he could lead the nation that President Trump is currently making great again.

This is the same Don Lemon who couldn't even handle a morning show without creating drama and alienating his co-hosts. Now he thinks he's presidential material? The audacity is stunning, even by liberal media standards.

Social Media Erupts in Disbelief

Patriots on social media wasted no time exposing the absurdity of Lemon's presidential delusions. One user posted: "🚨BREAKING: Don Lemon says he's seriously considering running for President… claiming he can run the country way better than Trump. Be honest — would YOU ever vote for him?"

"Gotta be April Fools joke," responded another user, perfectly capturing what most Americans are thinking about this ridiculous announcement.

BlazeTV host Pat Gray summed it up perfectly on "Pat Gray Unleashed," highlighting just how out of touch these failed media personalities have become with reality.

This is what happens when the legacy media bubble becomes so insular that washed-up anchors actually believe their own propaganda. Lemon spent years attacking President Trump on CNN, pushing fake news narratives, and dividing Americans—and now he thinks those "qualifications" make him presidential material?

Another Liberal Media Has-Been Dreams Big

Let's be clear: Don Lemon's "presidential ambitions" are nothing more than a desperate attempt to stay relevant after his spectacular fall from grace. Americans rejected his divisive rhetoric when they stopped watching CNN, and they'll reject it again if he's foolish enough to actually run.

President Trump is already making America great again in his second term, delivering on promises and putting America First. The last thing we need is another woke media puppet trying to undo that progress.

Do patriots really think Don Lemon has what it takes to lead the greatest nation on Earth? The answer should be obvious to anyone paying attention.

I remember watching him years ago and even then you could tell he was out of touch with regular Americans. The fact that he thinks he has presidential qualities just proves how disconnected these media personalities really are.

Is he seriously considering this or is this just speculation? Either way, it shows how desperate the left has become for leadership.

From what I read, he's been floating the idea in interviews. Absolutely delusional!

This is what happens when the media elite live in their own bubble for too long. They lose touch with reality and think the rules don't apply to them.

After what he did at CNN, the guy thinks he can run for President? Talk about zero self-awareness!
