Don Lemon Perfectly Skewers Trump After He Retweeted a Bonkers Conspiracy Theory About Barack Obama

President Donald Trump has spread conspiracy theories about his predecessor, President Barack Obama, for over a decade.

He most famously fueled a conspiracy theory that the President wasn't born in the United States and that his birth certificate was fraudulent. The false claim sparked racist fury against President Obama for the duration of his presidency.


And when he's not spreading conspiracy theories about him, Trump blames Obama for his own failures.

A recent retweet from Trump managed to do both of those things simultaneously.

Trump echoed claims from far-Right commentator David J. Harris that Obama was secretly running the investigation into Russian election interference in an effort to hurt Donald Trump.

This latest conspiracy theory didn't sit well with CNN's Don Lemon, who called out Trump's petty obsession with Obama during a primetime segment.

Watch below.

Lemon said:

"What is it about President Obama that really gets under your skin? Is it because he's smarter than you? Better educated? Made it on his own—didn't need Daddy's help? Wife is more accomplished? Better looking? I don't know, what is it, what is it about him? That he's a black man that's accomplished being president? That he punked you on the whole birth certificate thing? What is it about him? Just wondering."

In case you forgot, the President is by no means a fan of Don Lemon, frequently referring to him as "the dumbest man on television."



The President has yet to respond to Lemon's latest segment, but it's easy to imagine what he'd say.

Others are praising the host for his frankness.




The segment is likely to get under Trump's skin because nothing Lemon said was false.

Jesse Watters' Fox News Cohosts Call Out His 'Creepy' Rant About 'High-Value Man' Stephen Miller

Fox News personality Jesse Watters weirded out his own co-hosts after he claimed that New York Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez secretly wants to sleep with White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller after she "short-shamed" him.

In an Instagram livestream earlier this week, Ocasio-Cortez said “one of the best ways that you can dismantle a movement of insecure men is by making fun of them." She called Miller "a clown" and suggested he—the architect of President Donald Trump's immigration policies—takes out his anger on others because he's "like, 4 feet 10 inches."

Gavin Newsom Hilariously Trolls Trump For Struggling To Stay Awake During Antifa Roundtable

California Governor Gavin Newsom mocked President Donald Trump for appearing to fall asleep during a White House roundtable about Antifa, which the administration recently designated a "domestic terror organization" even though it's not an organization at all.

Antifa is a loose network of anti-fascist activists with no central structure, no funding, no membership roster, and no offices or leadership hierarchy for prosecutors to target.

Remote Worker Speaks Out After Job Uses 'Dystopian' Software To Track His Productivity

There are a few vital truths to every office-based job. First, there are going to be "busy work" moments, from meetings to admin tasks to minor side-quest-style projects that add to the company in some small way but otherwise feel like a waste of time.

Second, as human beings, we all need breaks to restore our mental focus, so a person who occasionally scrolls through their personal email, sends a few texts to a friend, or even scrolls Instagram for a few minutes, will likely be more productive than those who attempt to lock in and do nothing but their job throughout their entire shift.
