I guess I should’ve known this was coming. After all, President Trump did just call Don Lemon the “dumbest man on television.”
Lebron James was just interviewed by the dumbest man on television, Don Lemon. He made Lebron look smart, which isn’t easy to do. I like Mike!

Who’s the real dummy? A man who puts kids in classrooms or one who puts kids in cages? #BeBest https://t.co/XO50qVksnR

Silly Don, we’re not talking about Obama!
Don Lemon REALLY responded to Trump during a 10-minute monologue Monday night, in which he depicted Trump as a raging racist. He has it all figured out. You see, we feel emboldened to act like the *true* racists that we are, because our president is racist. See how that works? Obviously, Trump only called Don Lemon “dumb” because he’s black. Duh.
“Referring to African-Americans as dumb is one of the oldest canards of America’s racist past and present – that black people are of inferior intelligence,” he said.
Um…so am I racist against Kathy Griffin, Rosie O’Donnell, Joy Behar, Chelsea Handler and Ashley Judd? Because I’m sure I’ve compared their mental capacity to rocks at various times in the past.
I’d also like to note that Trump has called James Comey and Mika Brzezinski various forms of “unintelligent.” This isn’t a race thing. This is a “YOU ARE ACTUALLY STUPID” thing.
“Let me not mince words here, this president traffics in racism and is fueled by bullying,” Lemon continued. “From keeping children at the border in cages to bullying journalists at every one of his rallies and every chance he gets.”
Bullying…like this?
Taking selfies with Trump supporters in Tampa. Really enjoyed talking to some of the folks at the rally and hearing their concerns. As I told many of them.. we can’t do the news just for the Republicans and Trump supporters. We have to do the news for all Americans. pic.twitter.com/onOOM6q9l8

“President Trump is trying and divide and conquer strategy and here is how it goes. He divides by race and tries to conquer decency by smearing and besmirching the truth and the people who fight to uphold it,” he continued.
Silly Don. He keeps bringing up Obama. His bad!
“The people of color who are attacked by their fellow citizens who feel emboldened to be publicly racist? Because the president is,” Lemon said.
No he’s not. If you’re dumb, you’re dumb. Race is irrelevant. The very fact that he’s treating you the SAME as the others and NOT giving you special treatment because you’re black says it all.
Here’s the full monologue in all of its ridiculous glory:
