Lemon LIVE at 5 | Donald Trump Does Not Care About Americans!

Don Lemon | May 14, 2026



Tonight, we break down the growing economic pain being felt across the country and the policies that are making it worse.
Gas prices are soaring, recession fears are rising, and millions of Americans are struggling just to afford the basics. Yet Donald Trump told reporters he doesn’t spend much time thinking about the financial situation of everyday Americans. Yeah…that’s pretty obvious.
Tonight, we’ll share exclusive footage of lawmakers reacting to those comments and discussing the growing frustration boiling across the country.
But the criticism goes beyond rhetoric. Trump is now reportedly pushing the DOJ toward a settlement tied to his IRS lawsuit, raising new questions about whether taxpayers could ultimately be left footing the bill. And then there’s the White House ballroom project, which was initially pitched as something that wouldn’t cost Americans anything, but now appears likely to come with a public price tag after all.
At a moment when people are struggling to pay rent, buy groceries, and fill up their gas tanks, many Americans are asking the same question: whose interests are actually being prioritized right now?

    What is the deal with their mind, eyes, ears? Blind
    By the way, he tore up the White House because Obama, a BLACK FAMILY and had so many black people having celebrated and partied and glorified he can't stand the fact that he has to live in the White House after all the parties and love, fun, praise of Obama.
    That's how racist he is, he knows and feeds on our hate as racist nation, he pushes buttons that only racist hateful ignorant folks follow. The followers of him will not benefit from his rules nor money.
