Lemon's remarks reflect a broader critique of Trump's influence on media and corporate dynamics.
According to Breitbart, Lemon asserted, "This is art in itself, what Donald Trump is doing. It is performance art, bad performance art." He further elaborated on his perspective, suggesting that history will not view Trump favorably due to his tactics.
"Donald Trump is strong-arming, bullying corporate owners, threatening their businesses, and that is trickling down to newsrooms," Lemon stated, highlighting concerns about the impact of Trump's actions on journalistic integrity.
Lemon also addressed the American public's perception of media authenticity, emphasizing that viewers are discerning and aware of external influences on news reporting. "The American public, the viewers, are not stupid. They understand when people are not being real with them. They understand when people are being influenced by oligarchs or business owners or their bosses," he remarked. Lemon suggested that this environment presents an opportunity for independent journalists, who operate without the constraints of corporate oversight.
He noted, "The sad thing is that we dont have the big corporate sponsorships, but thats coming." Despite the lack of financial backing, Lemon underscored the freedom independent journalists have in addressing controversial topics, such as Trump's alleged racism. "No, Donald Trump is a you know what, racist," he concluded, maintaining his critical stance.
