How did Don Lemon frame the economic emergency after Trump’s tariffs?
Hello everybody, thank you for joining us at Lemon Live at 5. We're so glad that you are here. I gotta tell you though, and I'm fired up about this, we are in a world, are you listening to me? A world of hurt. I cannot believe that this is going on, that more people aren't outraged about it, even Republicans! Republicans! are nervous and concerned. MAGA is eating itself. They are, the body, as I keep saying, is rejecting the organ. Or the other way around, whatever you want, however you want to put it. Now, I don't know, I mean, some folks I've been watching, I'm like, wait, some of the financial channels, I'm like, why are they normalizing this? They're not concerned about it. They're just basically talking about it in a way that it's people who have a lot of money.
So if you have a lot of money, it's like, buy, buy, buy. Don't sell anything. But if you have no money, you are fucked. And let me tell you, if you're living paycheck to paycheck, you're screwed. If you are just mainly the average American, this is not good for you. And I'm not being hyperbolic here. Make sure you hit the thumbs up.

Very reasonable.
And your comments get highlighted on the screen and other things. So yes, we are in a world of trouble, Faye0901. Oh yeah, MAGA is in the most trouble because they think it's funny and cute and they're going to be the ones who are affected the most by it. Now I'm going to be joined in a minute by someone who can explain what this means for people who are saying, oh my gosh, this is about the price of eggs. Eggs are extremely high. And by the way, I keep forgetting, producers, I go to the supermarket. And I take these pictures where they say, you know, you can only get a certain number of a dozen of eggs. There's a limit of the amount of eggs that you can get because apparently this store has cheaper eggs.
Most of us are screwed, says Beth Baer. You are right about that. I want to know if you are worried. I want to know if you understand this. I'm going to help you understand this. And I'm also going to point out this hypocrisy. This is a mess. Sheldon Johnson, you are right. We're in deep trouble, Angela Calloway. We are indeed in deep trouble. Now, I think to explain all of this, to show you that not everybody's falling for this BS from Donald Trump, and maybe he isn't even falling for it because there's a possibility, there's a possibility that I'm hearing that he may take all of this back. He may renege on all of this, because there's only, there's one thing that Donald Trump cares about, and that is color.
Green. Money. That's what he cares about. And the other thing that he cares about is the stock market, because you know what? He judges his success on money and the stock market. Because as James Carville said, it's the economy, stupid. That's how he judges the economy is on the stock market. And the stock market is in the shitter. It tanked and it is still tanking. And I can't believe that some of these financial channels are normalizing it or saying it's no big deal or they're blaming it on Joe Biden. It's like, wait, what are you guys doing? What are you doing? Trump tariffs rattle stocks. I can still read backwards. It's not rattle stock. Trump tariffs tank stocks. in the meantime as our thumbnail says everything is all right we're all just fine and the flames money's burning and the flames are coming up all around us and all around him and he's telling us he's fine don't believe what you see with your own eyes and don't believe what you hear with your own ears you know what your portfolio if you are lucky enough to have one fortunate enough blessed enough to have one will tell you the story if you if you dare if you are brave enough to look at it your 401k will tell you the story if you are brave enough to look at it your retirement
