Lemon LIVE at 5 | President for Life: Is Donald Trump Trying to Be King?! - October 28th, 2025

Lemon Nation, let’s talk about all the promises Trump didn’t keep. Remember when he swore he’d fix inflation, boost the economy, and send the stock market soaring? Yeah, about that. Prices are still high, the market is a mess, and let’s not even start on the price of eggs. Oh, and the whole ‘ending wars’ thing? Turns out, that was just another empty slogan. This morning, we’re breaking down Trump’s biggest failed promises, what it means for everyday Americans, and why his supporters keep buying what he’s selling. Join us live—we’ve got receipts.

Lemon Nation, welcome to another day in hell. Trump is waging war on the courts over deported Venezuelan migrants, trying to undo presidential pardons like that’s even a thing, and overnight, Israeli strikes escalated yet again.

So let’s break down the madness of the day and reflect on a year of calling out the BS. Join us live! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Lemon Nation, Trump isn’t even pretending to play by the rules anymore. In just the past few days, he’s defied a judge’s order on Venezuelan deportations, stood in front of the DOJ calling for his political opponents to be jailed, and posted on Truth Social claiming Biden’s presidential pardons aren’t valid. This isn’t just chaos—it’s straight-up abuse of power. So what happens when a wannabe dictator stops pretending? Let’s break it all down—join us live! Learn more about your ad choices.

We've all heard of virtue signaling -- when people make a big show – a sometimes cringe-inducing show – of their moral values, their progressivism, their empathy. The right-wing loves to mock it, and MAGA is taking things a step further...with vice signaling. Instead of working to show people how good they are, MAGA decides to show people just how awful they can be. Is this working? Tune in for Don's take! Learn more about your ad choices.
