Why does Don Lemon call this a ‘break glass’ moment about Trump’s behavior?
It is Friday, and this is the Don Lemon Show, Lemon Live at 5. I wish I could send you off on a Friday with some really great news about, perhaps it'll be great news to some of you, depending on how you feel about this president, because he is unraveling. But when you consider that he is in charge of our country, it's extremely problematic. I will say to you as I start today, this is a break glass moment. We are in danger. Emergency, emergency. And I'm not kidding. And I am not. Someone said, oh, my God, he's on time. Thank you. Thanks, Jay. I'm not being hyperbolic. And I'm not the only one saying this. Even the people who are the biggest supporter of this president, this calls for you know what, y'all?
I'm just saying. Rhymes with Largarita. Even the people who support him the most are scratching their heads. And one can only say that he has Epstein derangement syndrome. I believe that this Epstein thing is driving him even baddier. I've been telling people, you know what? Donald Trump is certifiable. And the reason that we are feeling the way that we feel, and the same as we knew it last time, is because of the chaos in his brain and because of how erratic he is. And I think that he is certifiable. And it is being reflected in the country, as it was last time. And do you remember... There are two things that I remember. One, when they said enough of the misinformation, they took him off of Twitter. I was like, thank goodness, because I did not have to get an alert every single time something happened or people reported something.
The news would change every single time he tweeted something. Now he does the same thing on Truth Social. And then the other time was when he left office. And we were like, finally, some sanity. Our long national nightmare was over. And now our long national nightmare is back. Our part two is here. It is French Life 247 batshit crazy. Now, I'm going to tell you again, I don't like just just to I like to give you facts, OK, because here's what has happened. Let's put up some of the things. So, you know, Trump got the bad jobs numbers this morning. Terrible jobs numbers. So then he puts out. What he does is he gets upset and he fires the labor statistics sheet for just reporting. The numbers, all this person does is crunches numbers and shuffles a piece of paper and then puts them out.
That's it all, but I'm encapsulating that. The president implied that the BLS commissioner, longtime federal employee, Erica McIntuffar, McIntuffar, is that right? McIntuffar. Okay, that's right, McIntuffar. Manipulated the data. for political purposes now what would be those political this is epstein derangement syndrome he has ed yes we know eds epstein derangement syndrome it's causing him to lose it let's read a little bit and i'll tell you what else is going on okay President Donald Trump on Friday ordered the firing of the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics hours after a stunning government report showed that hiring had slowed down significantly over the past three months. So he took the truth social, and I'll show you about that.
Okay, take that down. And then Donald Trump, do we have the missile one? I'm not sure if we have the missile one. So Donald Trump got upset. It was in there earlier. There was some concern, and I told you, I had been telling you guys that there was going to be, there it is, about the nuclear subs. I was telling you guys that I'm so concerned about this that he is so crazed that this was going to be a wag the dog moment. I was worried about it, that he was going to start wagging the dogs, and I said I would not be surprised if there is some sort of thing, I hate to say it, that he takes us to war. I think I said that with Oliver Darcy or someone, I forget who it was. And then... Based on the highly provocative statements of the former president of Russia, Dmitry Medvedev, who is now the deputy chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, I have ordered two nuclear submarines to be positioned in the appropriate regions.
