Trump's Ignorance and Base00:05:50
And look, he also knows deep in his heart that Donald Trump couldn't find Ukraine on a map if you had the letter U and a picture of an actual physical crane next to it.
He knows that this is, you know, an administration defined by ignorance of the world.
And so that's partly him playing to their base and playing to their audience.
You know, the credulous boomer rube demo that backs Donald Trump that wants to think that Donald Trump's a smart one in there.
Oh, y'all, y'all elitist or dumb.
You elitist with your geography and your maps and your spelling.
Even though my math and you're reading.
Yeah, you're reading, you know, your geography, knowing other countries, sipping your latte.
All those lines on the map.
Only them elitists know where Ukraine is.
Hey, Don, that was funny, huh?
You're laughing hysterically.
That was fake.
How can it be funny mocking half the country because they have a southern accent and because they support our president?
Is that funny?
Really?
I mean, you're supposed to be a journalist, Don.
Man, you people, I mean, President Trump is right.
You are dumb.
Well, he said he's the dumbest person in the country.
Totally two different things.
No, he said he's the dumbest man.
I would take it a step further.
Dumbest man in the country.
That's a little bit.
That's a bold statement.
Just limited to the dumbest man on television.
All right, I'll give you that.
Pathetic.
How you, as a journalist, you get on TV.
I know you're not a journalist, but you're supposed to be a journalist.
As a journalist, how you get on television and mock half the country?
Tease them, right?
And you up there saying that on the right, we're dividing the country, we're divisive.
And you're sitting here on television mocking those people.
Us for voting for the president.
That is divisive, Don.
I know it's hard to believe, but it's divisive.
If you liberals won such a bunch of lump of sales, you would know that.
But I got a funny joke for you, Don.
You got a joke, huh?
Yeah.
Well, let's hear it.
Hey, Don.
Hey, Don, knock, knock.
Who's there?
Dustin Heiss.
Dustin Heist, who?
The guy you sexually assaulted in the summer of 2018?
Don Lemon took his hand, shoved it down his pants, grabbed a handful of dick cheese, and rubbed it under the man's nose.
Don Dick Cheese Lemon.
Jesus Christ, Don.
You're supposed to be a professional.
You're supposed to be a journalist.
That's evil.
You know, you got a severe case, a severe case of dick cheese.
I ain't shouted in about three, four days.
Got a good buildup going.
I'm going to grab a handful and wipe it under this man's nose.
I mean, if he wouldn't have got all that damn dick cheese, he's been, that's about a two-week buildup.
You got some coronavirus dick cheese going.
Don Dick Cheese Lemon.
That's your new nickname, Don.
Dick Cheese.
Hey, I got a joke for you too, Donnie Dick Cheese Lemon.
Yeah.
Yeah, I got one.
It just came to me.
Let's hear it.
Listen here, Don, since you like jokes.
Here we go.
Knock, knock.
Who's there?
Nick Sandman.
Nick Salmon, who?
You know the Nick Salmon, y'all paid millions of dollars for defamation?
Oh, That Nick Sandman, which was a hoax allegation, by the way.
Y'all accused that man of being a racist because he was wearing a MAGA hat.
All he did was stand his ground and laugh at a toothless Indian.
I mean, that's what I would have done.
How the hell you get sued for defamation?
You're in the news, you're in the jurst.
You're supposed to fact-check everything before you report on it.
You're supposed to be a professional.
Oh, yeah, I ain't finished with my joke.
Hey, Don, thanks for the cash.
Gotta go take care of that dick cheese brawler.
You got I heard you're getting ready to get sued some more for it.
Oh man, you know, you a joke when you getting you constantly getting sued.
Not for $5,000, $10.
You're getting sued for millions of dollars.
And the network is paying it out.
And they don't fire anybody.
Dick Cheese, Don Lemon.
That's your new nickname, Tom.
Don Dick Cheese Lemon.
Dick Cheese got a nice ring to it.
Yes, that's catchy too, man.
Don Dick Cheese Lemon.
Don, the Dick Cheese Lemon.
Man, that's catchy.
Won't you join the WWE?
You know, like the Undertaker, they got their little stuff they do at the end of the match.
Yeah, you be a gay WWE superstar.
Your name be Dick Cheese.
After you submit them, after they're done and knocked out, go in your cross, get some dick cheese, and rub it up under their nose and walk out the ring.
