For now, Lemon mentioned a presidential run isn’t on the speedy horizon. However, that didn’t cease him from drawing a comparability between himself and former President Barack Obama.
“Did anybody think Barack Obama, as he says, this guy with a funny name is from a mixed background, did anybody ever think that he would become president, that he had that aspiration?” he mentioned.
“I don’t have an aspiration to become president, but I do think that I could run this country a lot better than Donald Trump.”
Lemon added, “Look, why can’t I think about running for office? Why can’t I think about being president of the United States when I look at what we have?”
